Did you know that lack of sleep can actually shorten your lifespan? March is National Nutrition Month, and today we’re highlighting the important link between diet and sleep—not just for adults, but for families and children too! For children, adequate sleep is essential for growth, brain development, and emotional well-being. Poor sleep can lead to difficulty concentrating, mood swings, and unhealthy eating habits. By encouraging balanced meals and healthy sleep routines, families can create lifelong habits that support better rest, improved health, and overall well-being. Let’s take care of ourselves and our loved ones by prioritizing both good nutrition and quality sleep!
