National Nutrition Month® is an annual campaign created 50 years ago in 1973 by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. During March, everyone is invited to learn about making informed food choices and developing healthy eating and physical activity habits.

This year’s theme is “Fuel for the Future.” Eating with sustainability in mind is a tasty way to nourish ourselves during every phase of life and protect the environment. A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist can help you create sustainable healthy habits and celebrate your unique needs.

Check out this page for weekly updates, tips, and recipes to help you stay focused on eating healthier and staying active. Detroit Area Agency on Aging will host a National Nutrition Month Extravaganza on Tuesday, March 28, 12:00 -1:00 pm, so be sure to join us!
