National Nutrition Month

March is National Nutrition Month, a campaign sponsored by the American Dietetic Association to promote healthy living.  This year’s theme, “ Eat Right with Color,” focuses on adding a variety of colors to your plate.  A rainbow of foods creates a palette of nutrients for a healthful diet.

MUSC and Sodexo are committed to promoting National Nutrition Month through numerous events and sponsored activities.  Each day will start with a nutrition fact shared through MUSC broadcast messages and the menu line.  Be sure to check out the Wellness Wednesday booth each week to learn more about portion control, reducing sodium intake, and other nutrition topics. 

A nutrition-theme activity packet will be provided to the MUSC  pediatric patients, so they can color their foods and learn that eating a variety of food colors is fun.

Start “Eating Right with Color” today!  To learn more about nutrition wellness and other activities, visit Nutrition Month events.
