National Nutrition Month® is a nutrition education and information campaign created annually in March by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The campaign focuses attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits.
Starting today, make a promise to yourself to eat healthy! For National Nutrition Month, I'll give you a new tip everyday. Here are some simple guidelines:
1) Try the tips. You won't know what will work until you try them.
2) Do your best. We don't need perfect healthy eating habits, but we need to improve our eating habits.
3) If something doesn't work for you then stop and try a different tip. Typically you want to try something for two weeks before you rule it out.
Remember, we encourage people with diabetes, pre-diabetes, and those at risk for diabetes to eat healthy just as we encourage all Americans to get in the habit of choosing to eat healthy!
So... to start off National Nutrition Month, here's the simple first tip!
Tip # 1: Journal what you eat.
People are more likely to make healthy choices to eat better when they see on paper everything they eat throughout the day and week. It can be an eye-opener.
If you have any questions about the tip, please call Diabetes Partnership at (216) 591-0800 and ask to speak with me or any of our educators. We are here to help you! Also, you can go to the Nutrition Resources page for more information.
So sit back and enjoy the National Nutrition Month journey with us! Always remember-- try not to focus on perfecting your habits, but improve them!
