March is National Nutrition Month and to celebrate all you have to do is eat right and treat your body like the temple it is! To show off your commitment to a balanced diet, you can proudly wear a rubber bracelet with a quote about healthy nutrition on it.
Angela Lemond, registered dietitian at the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics says:
“Eating heart-healthy foods can help lower high blood pressure, which reduces the risk of both heart attack and stroke. Even if you do not have high blood pressure, eating a heart-healthy diet reduces your chances of heart disease in the future.”
Someone who wears rubber bracelets to show off his or her commitment to nutritional excellence should:
- Balance a healthy diet with physical activity
- Eat nutrient-rich foods like fruits, veggies and whole-grains
- Enjoy fat-free and low-fat dairy products
- Eat foods high in omega-3 like salmon and other seafood
- Consume foods low in salt, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol and added sugar

A (new) commitment to your health can not only lower your blood pressure, but also help you reduce or eliminate dependence on diabetes and cholesterol medication.
In honor of National Nutrition Month, everyone should plan out healthy meals and put together an exercise schedule. Whether you go for a short 30-minute jog, take a spin class or try out kickboxing, staying active is the perfect complement to a healthy diet.
Many people find they easily tire of the same old meals and fitness routines, so it’s important to add variety into your plans. Don’t eat salmon every single night and don’t do the same exercise every other day. Variety is the spice of life!
While National Nutrition Month will come to an end soon, eating healthy and staying active should be made a priority all year long. By wearing rubber bracelets with your favorite motivational saying on it, you will be reminded to stay committed to a healthy lifestyle!
