CHRISTUS Health is championing the importance of healthy eating habits as part of National Nutrition Month and partnering with Harvest Regional Food Bank to address food insecurity.
“The goal is to invite people to learn about nutrition and start thinking about it,” said Lauren Clark, CHRISTUS Trinity Clinic clinical dietitian. “This way, you are able to make informed food choices for yourself and your family.” Clark recommends focusing on the inclusion on proteins and vegetables in your diet and writing your meals down, which gives you an overview of what you are putting in your body while holding yourself accountable.
National Nutrition Month was started 51 years ago by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics with a goal of promoting healthier habits, including sustainability, food safety, physical activity and education about making informed food choices.
