The National Nutrition Month is a nutrition education campaign sponsored annually by the American Dietetic Association and its Foundation. Healthy eating and routine exercise are needed all year round. But many of us need a friendly reminder to get ourselves back on track. Be kind to your body and reacquaint yourself with healthy eating habits and fitness. Replace your unhealthy habits with smart health choices for a healthier body. It's important to understand the different food groups when it comes to nutrition. The food groups consist of Grains, Vegetables, Fruits, Dairy, and Protein Foods.
