March is National Nutrition Month!
This month we will focus on healthy foods and a balanced diet. A way that we can make sure we are including variety in our diets is by eating the rainbow! Creating a colorful plate of fruits and vegetables increases our intake of vitamins and minerals for our immune system, strong muscles and bones, great dental and eye health!
Parent’s Guides for including these important foods in meals:
Important source of fiber, vitamins, minerals
Omega-3s needed for your heart and brain
Needed for bones, teeth, muscles, and blood to clot
For healing, fighting Infections, healthy skin
For good vision, healthy skin, normal growth, and preventing infection
Strong blood to carry oxygen to the whole body, fighting colds and flu, keeping energy levels up, growing well
Eating fruits with water rather than fruit juice decreases sugar, better hydrates, and increases fiber in your diet!
