This month of March is recognized as National Nutrition Month, a campaign focused on spreading the news of nutrition and health. It is important to recognize how food affects the way people feel, from daily performance at work to long-term health. The goal of this campaign is to promote an understanding that small changes in the diet can boost physical and mental health.
National Nutrition month strives to educate individuals about the significance of adopting healthy eating habits and ensuring proper nutrition for the sake of maintaining healthy lifestyles. The American Dietetic Association initiated this campaign in 1975. Each year, the ADA employs a separate theme, with this year’s titled “Beyond the Table.”
