National Nutrition Month® March is National Nutrition Month®, a nutrition education and information campaign sponsored annually by the American Dietetic Association (ADA) and its foundation. In 2008 the American Dietetic Association is urging consumers to focus on nutrition facts using scientific research as sources. The emphasis is on developing a sensible, lifelong healthy eating and physical activity plan based on the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, MyPyramid. The slogan for this year, ¨Nutrition: It´s a Matter of Fact®¨, urges consumers to focus on nutrition facts using scientific research as sources to develop a sensible, lifelong healthy eating and physical activity plan. In essence, learn more about the nutrition science of your food and reasons for activity. Use the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, My Pyramid, as tools to develop a healthy eating plan. Food fads often exclude specific foods or promote supplements. There is no one fast track to a healthful lifestyle. The human body needs food to function properly so eat a variety of foods! Exercise doesn't happen by itself! Get going! Get moving!
