The Weekly Update #4
February 27th, 2024
Nurse's Note
March is National Nutrition Month
Making smart food and nutrition choices is a necessary part of everyday life. Everything you eat and drink matters. These choices can help you be healthy now and in the future.
Making Healthy Choices:
Fruits: Choose whole fruit options that include fresh, frozen, dried, and canned more often than substituting with 100% fruit juice.
Vegetables: Vary your vegetables and choose dark green, red, orange, legumes (beans and peas), and starchy vegetables.
Grains: Choose whole grains more often than refined or enriched.
Proteins: Vary your types of proteins between animal sources (seafood, meat, poultry, and eggs) and plant proteins (peas, seeds, and soy products).
Dairy: Choose low-fat or fat-free milk, cheese, yogurt, and calcium-fortified soymilk.
Portion size: Smaller portions can help you stay within your calorie needs. Always be aware of what you eat during meals and snacks.
Finding time for family meals can be a challenge. Research has shown that children who eat with their families do better in school, can focus more, and earn better grades. Eating as a family promotes great family relationships. Experts recommend having family mealtimes at least 4 times a week.
