How to Celebrate National Nutrition Month
March is National Nutrition Month. This month is all about learning how to make nutritious choices and understanding the impact that your diet has on your health and wellbeing. This year’s theme is “Celebrate a World of Flavors.”
Over the next month, we invite everyone to explore and embrace global cuisines and cultures. Every culture deserves a place at the table, and every cuisine can fit into a healthy, wholesome diet.
Celebrating the culture of recipes and traditions across the globe is a delicious way to nourish ourselves while broadening our taste buds and palettes. Ready to partake? Here’s how you can make the most of National Nutrition Month.

Embrace Cooking at Home
If you’re like most people, you barely have enough time to cook meals every single day, let alone a meal plan. And while you aren’t alone in having a jam-packed schedule, National Nutrition Month is the perfect time to make meal planning manageable!
Though it takes a little prep work, time, and effort, there’s nothing quite like a home-cooked meal. Cooking at home gives you total control over what you’re putting into your body. Whether you’re looking to lose weight or want to lower your cholesterol levels, it helps to know exactly what you’re eating.
Cooking at home also makes portion control much easier. And to top it off, homemade meals are much more cost-effective! Save money while feeling better – talk about a true win-win.
Look and Feel Better than Ever
What you eat has a direct impact on how you feel and how you look. Fuel comes from the food that you eat, and what’s in the fuel has a huge impact on your energy levels, brain function, and your mood. Like a car, your brain and body work best when fueled by premium ingredients.
Eating a diet that mostly consists of high-quality foods, such as those with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, does the body good. These foods protect against inflammation caused by free radicals, which can cause cellular damage.
What you eat also impacts how you look. Eating wholesome foods affects the appearance of your skin, hair, and other parts of the body, and of course, your waistline!
Embrace Regular Exercise
Many people hear the word exercise and immediately groan. While not everyone enjoys spending hours at the gym each week, the fact is that exercising shouldn’t feel like a chore.
Physical activity should be something you enjoy. Taking a walk after dinner, hiking, or dancing to some of your favorite songs all count as exercise. Getting your heart pumping can be fun, and the more fun you have the more likely you are to stick with it.
There’s no better time than now to take charge of your diet and lifestyle. During National Nutrition Month, we encourage everyone to meet with a nutritionist from Harmony Healthcare Long Island. Let’s work together to get your health on track!
