PERSONALIZE YOUR PLATE WITH BEEF
|
|
|
March marks National Nutrition Month®, a nutrition education campaign led by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. This year's theme, Personalize Your Plate, recognizes that healthy eating looks different for everyone based on cultures, food traditions, family histories, tastes, health, and nutritional needs. Personalize Your Plate also reminds us to celebrate the rich and diverse cultures that are present in the communities we serve.
Nutrition has a profound impact on everyone’s health. The Michigan Beef Industry Commission encourages nutrition professionals to embrace diversity, explore different approaches, and tailor nutrition and health messages that recognize and honor an individual’s unique background and way of living. We encourage you to support healthy eating and promote Personalize Your Plate messages throughout the year.
However you celebrate National Nutrition Month® is up to you. Just remember - America's favorite protein, beef, is here to help you celebrate in a delicious and easy way.
As a commitment to providing wholesome and nutritious food to our families and clients, the beef checkoff provides health professionals with beef nutrition
education and resources. You might find these resources most helpful when communicating the science and taste behind adding lean beef to your plate this March and beyond:
