March is National Nutrition Month

Senior Care in Los Angeles CA

This year’s Nutrition Month theme is to “Savor the Flavor of Eating Right” and LIVEWELL Private Care invites you to join in on tasteful fun during the month of March. National Nutrition Month® is an initiative of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics to encourage “community members not only [eat well] when they are sick, but to help guide them in caring for their health preventatively,” explained Vice President of Community Relations Barb Rossini, in a press release announcing the campaign. This is another opportunity to  “Awaken Your Taste Buds” to raw healthful flavors that benefit your body and you mind.

Data indicates that sensible changes made to your diet coupled with increased activity helps prevent a range of health issues (according to Dr. Pamela Bradford, who specializes in internal medicine). “Studies have shown that practical dietary changes have a significant impact on the prevention of diabetes, coronary artery disease, stroke and some cancers.” Registered Dietitian Barb Van Meerbeke says, “It isn’t just an accident; people feel better when they eat nutritious foods. When we eat nutrient-dense, whole foods like fruits and vegetables, lean protein, whole grains, low-fat dairy and healthy fats, our bodies feel better and function better because these are the foods intended to fuel them,” she explained. “That’s a great benefit in addition to lowered risk for disease.”For more information, visit: www.NationalNutritionMonth.org.
