March is Nutrition Month. The month is celebrated throughout Canada to draw attention to the importance of making informed food choices and developing healthy eating habits.
Healthy eating looks different for everyone. This year, the Nutrition Month campaign links dietitians with residents to explore how culture, food traditions, personal circumstances and nutritional needs all contribute to what healthy looks like for each person.
Food is nourishment, but it’s so much more. Food unites us at the kitchen table and is the center of celebrations. Food can improve health, prevent disease and keep us well for longer.
