Beyond the Table - March 2024
During National Nutrition Month, learn how nutritionists and dietitians impact public health by helping us make informed food choices and develop healthy eating habits. In 2024, we focus on " beyond the table," focusing attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits.
