_{March 18, 2025}
March is recognized as National Nutrition Month, highlighting the importance of both physical fitness and healthy eating. Making well-informed dietary choices contributes to overall well-being, providing energy, maintaining a healthy weight, and preventing various diseases, illnesses, and cancers. Proper nutrition plays a vital role at every stage of life, promoting longevity and growth.

• Choose nutrient-rich foods that provide essential vitamins and minerals with minimal extra calories, such as seafood, poultry, eggs, fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
• Avoid empty calories found in chips, candy, and soda.
• Select foods that are low in fat and cholesterol, and try to minimize saturated and trans fats.
• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.
• Engage in physical activity—going for walks or starting an exercise routine are great ways to stay active.
