March is National Nutrition Month
This year’s theme for National Nutrition Month in March is “Food Connects Us.” Food connects us to our families and friends. Sharing a meal is an opportunity to learn about its preparation and where the ingredients were sourced. Health, memories and traditions can impact our relationship with food. While these factors influence the foods we eat, the foods we eat also affect our health.
