Our National Nutrition Month® Journey

March 31, 2025 / Get Well

Throughout March, the spotlight of the “Food Connects Us”  Nutrition Campaign has been more than just a celebration of nutrition—but an exploration of how food intertwines with our wellbeing and so many of our experiences. This month, the Office of Employee Wellness and Wellbeing (OEWW) has guided you through a series of insightful conversations. Consider revisiting the following articles.

  1. National Nutrition Month: Food and Culture. Food is a reflection of our heritage, identity, and community.
  2. National Nutrition Month®: Practical Strategies for Meaningful Family Mealtimes. Prioritizing meaningful family mealtimes fosters stronger connections, promotes cultural appreciation, and supports a healthier lifestyle through informed nutritional choices.
  3. [Re]connect with your food for National Nutrition Month. Reconnecting with your food through cooking, meal planning, and exploring its origins empowers you to make healthier choices, save money, and deepen your appreciation for nutrition and sustainability.
  4. Tip for Nutrition Month: Fuel your walk for energy and joint health! Fueling your body with anti-inflammatory foods, lean proteins, and proper hydration supports joint health and provides the energy needed to stay active and maintain a consistent walking routine.
  5. CommonHealth Wellnote. In celebration of National Nutrition Month, CommonHealth highlights the benefits of fiber for overall health and encourages small dietary changes to prepare for Spring 2025 NOVA Walk Week. 

 As we move forward, let’s carry the lessons of National Nutrition Month throughout the year. Small, sustainable changes in our eating habits can positively impact our long-term health and well-being. Use trusted resources like Eatright.org and MyPlate.gov for guidance; consult a professional for personalized nutrition advice; and share your favorite health-building recipes.
