National Nutrition Month

The American Dietetic Association has named March "National Nutrition Month". The focus for this month is emphasizing the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound habits when it comes to eating and exercise. Check out more about the campaign and the ADA at their website http://www.eatright.org/nnm/ .

Brockton PT does not offer nutritional services but we do promote overall wellness and your nutritional decisions are absolutely a part of your overall wellness. Here's our tip for you for the month of March.

Commit to learning about nutrition. There is a lot of misinformation out there along with risky diets and pills that are being followed and used in pursuit of good nutrition. We encourage you to do some research through legitimate sources. Learn how your body processes foods and what it needs to function at its best. Then you can craft your own personal diet accordingly. You may even want to setup an appointment with a registered dietitan to get some help. If you're not sure where to start why not visit the American Detetic Association website we linked above.
