Are you savoring the flavor? Local dietitians give advice for healthy lifestyle behaviors. It's National Nutrition Month and the academy of nutrition and dietetics encourages everyone to be healthy. This year's theme is called "Savor the Flavor of Eating Right" and it's purpose is to help people understand about being mindful of what they are eating, but also being aware of their surroundings. Americans are always on the go and think more about convenience and don't always think about what they are putting in their bodies. One registered dietitian says planning your week out ahead of time can help prevent you from eating out, always have some protein, fresh fruits, and vegetables at hand. It's quick, easy and you can prepare it fast. When grabbing fast food, you can get a grilled or baked option rather than fried or breaded and to lessen calories you can get your sauces on the side. Here are some tips from dietitians at St. Ritas to help with your nutrition. Find the meal plan that fits best for you, be aware of how, when, and where you eat, don't restrict certain food groups and remember, exercise is just as important too!
