Get Ready, Get Set, It’s Time To Celebrate “National Nutrition Month!”

This Year’s theme “Get Your Plate In Shape”

“Get your plate in shape” is a great way for helping people be mindful of what foods they should be eating on their plate.

Tips to make it easy to get your plate in shape

  • Make half of your plate fruits and vegetables: eat from a variety of vegetables, especially dark-green, red and orange varieties.
  • Make at least half of your grains whole: choose brown rice, barley, oats and switch to 100% whole grain breads and cereals.
  • Switch to fat-free or low-fat milk: fat-free and low-fat have the same amount of calcium and other nutrients as whole milk, but less fat and fewer calories.
  • Vary your protein choices: Eat proteins foods which include seafood, nuts, beans, soy foods (tofu, edamame) as well as lean meat, poultry and eggs.
  • Cut back on sodium and empty calories from high fat and sugary foods.
