March is National Nutrition Month® and to celebrate, the LMAS District Health Department, and the Michigan Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program joins with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics to remind us that each bite counts.  This year's theme inspires us to start with small changes in our eating habits – one forkful at a time. Whether you are planning meals to prepare at home or making selections when eating out, Put Your Best Fork Forward to help find your healthy eating style.

Ways to Make Each Bite Count:

•    Create an eating style that includes a variety for your favorite, healthful foods.
•    Practice cooking more at home and experiment with healthier ingredients.
•    How much we eat is as important as what we eat.  Eat and drink the right amount for you, as           MyPlate encourages us to do.
•    Find activities that you enjoy and be physically active most days of the week.
