National Nutrition Month

March is National Nutrition Month and the Union County Health Department joins the American Dietetic Association in promoting the dietary guidelines as a means to build a healthy lifestyle. The dietary guidelines begin with the basics of ABC for you and your family’s health.

Aim for fitness. A healthy weight is the key to a long, healthy life.

Build a healthy base. Let the food guide pyramid guide you so that you get the vitamins, minerals, energy and other healthful substances from foods your body needs each day.

Choose sensibly. Choose a diet that is low in saturated fat and cholesterol and moderate in total fat.

For more information on Building a Healthy Lifestyle, contact the American Dietetic Association on the web at www.eatright.org. The Union County Health Department has a licensed dietician available for nutrition counseling or information at (937) 642-0801.
