March is National Nutrition Month!

March is National Nutrition Month!

Contrary to popular belief, healthful eating doesn’t have to be overwhelming!  March is National Nutrition Month®. This year, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics encourages everyone to “Eat Right, Bite by Bite.”

Small goals can have a cumulative, healthful effect. Every little bit of nutrition is a step in the right direction!  Some simple ways to get started include planning nutritious, tasty meals in advance and learning how to prepare them at home.  Find more tips here!

The National Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics also has great outreach resources to bring National Nutrition Month to your employees (social media resources, tip sheets, games, and activities, etc.).  Feel free to use these as part of your own wellness program to encourage engagement with their primary care physician!

Don’t Forget! Conifer Health Solutions and its Personal Health Nurses (PHNs) are available to help your enrolled employees and their covered dependents to set simple and manageable goals. To get started, they are welcome to call Patricia Mullen at 1-800-459-2110 X 2247 or 410-919-4428.

Be well!
