March is National Nutrition Month

March 08th, 2017

March is National Nutrition Month. This month long celebration of healthy eating and education started as National Nutrition Week in 1973. Interest and excitement grew and National Nutrition Month® was inaugurated in 1980. 

In order to help equip and engage families, schools and communities, EatRight.org has put together a suite of resources that cover a number of topics. From, “20 Ways to Enjoy More Fruits & Vegetables,” to “Eating Right on a Budget,” and “Healthy Eating On The Run,” the National Nutrition Month Website has helpful, practical information for everyone. 

Other topics that have helpful information sheets include:
Smart Snacking Tips For Kids
