OWC Health Awareness Series – March Nutrition Health Awareness

Dear overseas staff,

Please see below the message from OWC:

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

March is Nutrition Health Awareness Month, and we encourage our client’s members to learn more about making informed food choices and developing healthful eating habits. People can engage in a variety of activities to improve their nutrition and overall health. Here are some suggestions:

  1. Eat a Variety of Foods: Ensure your diet includes a mix of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats to get a wide range of nutrients.
  2. Plan Your Meals: Planning meals ahead of time can help you make healthier choices, save time, and reduce food waste.
  3. Cook More at Home: Cooking at home allows you to control the ingredients and portions, often leading to healthier meals than eating out.
  4. Practice Mindful Eating: Pay attention to your eating habits. Eat slowly, savor your food, and listen to your body’s hunger and fullness cues.
  5. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Sometimes thirst is confused with hunger.
  6. Limit Processed Foods and Added Sugars: Reducing the intake of highly processed foods and sugary drinks can significantly impact your health positively.
  7. Seek Professional Advice: If you have specific health conditions or dietary needs, consider consulting a registered dietitian for personalized guidance.
  8. Share Your Knowledge: Use this month as an opportunity to encourage friends and family to make healthier food choices and develop better eating habits.

These activities not only promote better health during Nutrition Health Awareness Month but can also lead to long-term benefits when incorporated into daily life.
