It’s hard to believe that March is just around the corner, which means it is time to start planning for National Nutrition Month®! The theme for 2013 is “Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day,” which “encourages personalized healthy eating styles and recognizes that food preferences, lifestyle, cultural and ethnic traditions and health concerns all impact individual food choices.” As in years past, the Utah Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (UAND) will be offering several $200 grants to support National Nutrition Month® activities throughout the community. The grants will be awarded in the form of National Nutrition Month® supplies from the catalog. We encourage all UAND members to apply for one of these grants to help make your National Nutrition Month® activities a hit this year!
For examples of the great activities initiated by previous winners, check out their blog posts on UAND’s Nutrition Elevated blog:
