March is “National Nutrition Month®”

By : Andrea Figueroa

March marks the kick off o the National Nutrition Month ®. This year the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics chose “Enjoy the Taste of Eating Right” as their theme.

According to research it shows that consumers will purchase one food over the other depending on their taste. As we all know sometimes the tastiest and quickest meals may not necessarily be the best for us. When making quick decisions we tend to not focus on nutritional value.

This year’s message is hoping to raise awareness that you can in fact combine taste and nutrition in order to create healthy and tasteful meals.

Your journey towards losing weight can be a healthy and tasteful one when you try new recipes. It’s important to always focus on the nutrition content of our meals.

Every summer at Camp Pennbrook we teach you how to make your favorite recipes the right way. This month we will be bringing you new recipes and ideas in order for you to “Enjoy the Taste of Eating Right”.
