Queen of ArugulaAs an RD, I am of course, very excited that March is National Nutrition Month. It also doesn’t hurt that there is great irony at work here; I was BORN in March, so perhaps my career was designed by destiny.
National Nutrition WEEK became a month-long observance in 1980 - long before I earned my registered dietitian title. I think that observing the power and importance of good nutrition for an entire month is not a bad idea at all. In fact, nutrition has become such an important and hot topic that every month, practically every DAY, brings new conversation and scientific findings.
The 2010 theme is “Nutrition From The Ground Up”. Of course that makes me think about fruits and vegetables that will soon be planted in the ground (it being practically spring and all) and the return of farmer’s markets (this being Chicago we are forced to take a haitus).
It also makes me think about nutrition as a foundation for health. Now if that doesn’t sound like a true dietitian I don’t know what does. All joking aside, feeding your body healthy, nutritious food is one of the best ways to take care of yourself. If you don’t do it - who else will?
So why not use the month of March to take stock of your nutritional habits; identify one or two that could use some healthy attention to make them better and “spring” into action to do just that.
Happy Nutrition Month!
You contributed a lot of great tips for this subject.
I am keeping yuor web blog for near future resources
I wish I had time to read everything that you write. You’re an amazing, intelligent, person. (I love the new picture) You do inspire me to be the best that I can be, and there are so many ways to eat healthy that you have shared with me. Must go and exercise and think about what will go into my body today to make it (the best it can be!)

You write very detailed,Pay tribute to you.Couldn’t be written any better. Reading this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this article to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!
A really informative article. To me working towards weight loss should be a way of life rather than being a routine. I also don’t believe in the calorie concious way of life, the real focus should be optimising the metabolic rate rather than focusing only the calorie intake. I recently started a site regarding weight loss, I wish to quote a few lines from this article (I will give this source link, and credit to this site). Again..
Thanks in Advance
