Food for Thought
In today's world of fast food, convenience foods, fad diets, diet drinks, and diet bars, simple nutrition seems a thing of the past. However, this month - National Nutrition Month - try to get back to the basics and celebrate nutrition.

The key principles of good nutrition are:

.. eating regular meals and snacks

.. including at least five servings of fruit or vegetables per day

.. including two servings of milk per day

.. eating high fiber foods

.. limiting fats and sweets

Try to follow these basics during March and see if you don't feel better, enjoy food more, and maybe even lose a little weight!
