March is Nutrition Month, and this year’s theme, Nourish to Flourish, is all about the connection between food and overall wellbeing.
The South East Health Unit’s dietitians are highlighting how food can nourish not only our bodies but also our minds, emotions, and mental health.
While healthy eating helps prevent disease and supports physical performance, it’s also essential for emotional resilience and social connections. Throughout March, the South East Health Unit will celebrate how food impacts mental health and social wellbeing.
Dietitians are offering resources that focus on balanced eating, regular physical activity, and mental health. Their Healthy Bodies Healthy Minds approach encourages residents to shift the focus from weight to overall health.
The community is invited to join in by following social media updates, listening to media interviews, and visiting the website for credible, up-to-date nutrition information.
