March is Nutrition Month! Local Dietitians Offering Support
March is nutrition month and this year’s focus is on eating well from 9 to 5. “Several challenges can arise during a busy workday making it challenging to eat well,” says Shannon Edmonstone, Public Health Nutritionist. Common challenges include food-filled meetings, workplace celebrations, mid-day slumps and struggling to get dinner ready at the end of a long workday.
