Round Up: Top Nutrition Resources to Fuel Your Future

This March, we’re celebrating National Nutrition Month and the Registered Dietitians who help us make healthier choices every day. When it comes to nutrition, there are a lot of fad diets and myths that can create unhealthy views of food, so we partner with Registered Dietitians to create helpful health content that you can trust. Check out some of our favorite resources and recipes from these nutrition experts and Natural Delights fanatics.

Fuel for the Future

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, which creates resources to support National Nutrition Month, is calling this year’s theme Fuel for the Future. Here are a few ways we can all celebrate healthier habits that fuel our future:

Eat with the Environment in Mind

• Enjoy more plant-based meals and snacks.
• Purchase foods with minimal or recycled packaging.
• Learn about sustainability practices from your favorite brands.
• Start a container or backyard garden to grow food at home.

See a Registered Dietitian

• Ask your doctor for a referral to a registered dietitian or reach out to one directly.
• Find a RD who specializes in your unique needs.
• Receive personalized nutrition information to meet your health goals.

Make Tasty Food at Home

• Learn cooking and meal preparation skills.
• Try new flavors and foods from around the world.
• Find creative ways to use leftovers rather than tossing them.
• Create happy memories by eating with friends and family when possible.
