Let's celebrate National Nutrition Month!

It’s National Nutrition Month - a month long nutrition education and information campaign created by the American Dietetic Association. Each year there’s a different theme that helps consumers hone in on good eating habits and physical activity.

This year’s theme is “Nutrition from the Ground Up” – a fitting title that encourages people to start with the basics and build a healthy base for their diet. You can build your healthy nutrition foundation by focusing on adding more produce and whole grains to your diet. To find out what’s in season (and therefore typically on sale), check out the Produce for Better Health Foundation’s seasonal guide.

Diets rich in fruits and vegetables may help prevent some types of cancer and contribute to better overall health. And, because produce is so filling, it can help with weight management. In addition to adding a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables (and their oils – such as olive oil), be sure to get a variety of whole grains in your diet as well. Nutrition from the Ground Up is easy – just think about the foods that should be staples in your diet.

Nutrition from the Ground Up means less processed, more wholesome foods made at home. With the internet, food network and bookstores, there are no shortages of tasty recipes incorporating the staples into your diet.
