March is National Nutrition Month. At the center this month we will be learning about good nutrition to help set the kids on the path for a healthy future. When thinking about preparing nutritious meals, we recommend a balanced approach that focuses on building healthy eating habits.

Here are some challenges you can try which promote a healthy lifestyle!

• Sit together at the table for at least 1 meal each day
• Try meal planning for 1 week
• Use the MyPlate (www.myplate.gov) model as a guide for meals
• Try a new food or recipe from around the world
• Get your kids involved in meal prep and cooking
• Eat at least 1 fruit or vegetable with each meal
• Move your body doing an enjoyable activity each day
