National Nutrition Month

March is National Nutrition Month. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is helping to increase awareness of the importance of nutrition and how nutrition experts, like Registered Dietitians, can help you achieve your goals.??

Here are a few quick tips to help you start your health journey.?

• Make half your plate fruits and non-starchy vegetables, save the other half of the plate for your proteins and carbs.??
• Watch those portion sizes.?
• Try eating off of a smaller plate or salad plate to help limit portions.?
• Increase your daily activity. Start with 5 minutes per day. For most of us, it is 5 minutes more than what we have been doing. Try a walk after dinner or dancing in your kitchen.?

Everyone has to start somewhere!???

If you would like to know more and help take control over your health and balance quality of life with healthy nutrition, please give HMS a call and schedule an appointment with Christine Cutbirth, a Registered Dietitian with Hidalgo Medical Services.
