March is Nutrition Month — dedicated to the significance of nutrition and health. It seeks to educate individuals about the importance of making informed food choices, developing consistent eating habits, and undertaking regular physical activity.

The theme for the month — Nourish to Flourish — focuses on the profound connections between food and overall well-being, emphasizing the transformative role of nutrition in our lives.

Make the most of Nutrition Month by following the recommendations in Canada’s Food Guide, such as planning meals, cooking more often and involving your kids in the kitchen. Include physical activity along with your nutritious eating habits, helping you achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle. You can also subscribe to Canada’s Food Guide updates for health information and recipes to unlock the potential of food throughout the year.

Stay tuned! Later this month, we will highlight our team of Dietitians who support hundreds of patients and families each year.

The Thunder Bay District Health Unit also has information including resources on how we can build positive, supportive relationships with food – for ourselves and for others. Click here to learn more!
