March is when spring officially begins and we turn our clocks forward for daylight saving time. It also can be a dramatic month with sometimes wild and shifting weather. As the seasons change from winter to spring, it may be the perfect time to shift your own energy. In honor of Nutrition Month, we will be talking even more than usual about what we eat!
“Balance” is the latest word on heart-healthy eating, according to the American Heart Association Scientific Statement which encourages people to adopt broad eating habits instead of focusing on single foods — and it’s not one size fits all.
Healthy eating starts with healthy food choices. You don’t need to be a chef to create nutritious, heart-healthy meals your family will love. Sparkle Health can help you learn more about your own nutrition and what to look for at the grocery store, restaurants, workplace, and any eating occasion.
