RD Tip! |
National Nutrition Month is in March!
Notes from ADA: Highlight your expertise and help spread the word about the importance of developing sound eating and physical activity habits.
Eat Right, the 2009 theme, supports and promotes ADA's new Organizational Identity and encourages consumers to make informed food choices. Understanding that nutritional needs vary for every individual, ADA has developed specific messages and products tailored to children, adults and older adults.
