March is National Nutrition Month
National Nutrition Month is an annual
campaign created by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. During the month of
March, everyone is invited to learn about making informed food choices and
developing healthful eating and physical activity habits. This year’s theme is
‘Celebrate a World of Flavors’. During March, we are encouraging everyone to 1.
Eat a variety of nutritious foods, 2. See a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
for any nutrition related counseling, 3. Make weekly plans to incorporate
healthy foods into your meals and snacks, 4. Create tasty meals at home by
trying new foods and flavors from around the world.
March 9th is Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
Day
In 2022, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics celebrates
Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day on Wednesday, March 9. As the nation's
food and nutrition experts, registered dietitian nutritionists are committed to
improving the health of their patients, clients and communities. Registered
Dietitian Nutritionist Day and National Nutrition Month promote the Academy
and RDNs to the public and the media as the most valuable and credible source
of timely, scientifically-based food and nutrition information.
