National Nutrition Month

March is National Nutrition Month across Canada. The month long campaign aims to increase public awareness about the importance of healthy eating by identifying dietitians as the most credible source of food and nutrition information. To kick-start Nutrition Month, Sodexo interviewed three of its dietitians to talk about how the pandemic has shifted people’s habits around healthy eating, common misconceptions about food, and some of their favourite healthy dinner recipes.

There is no perfect or right way of eating, what’s important is to find what’s good or healthy for YOU as an individual.

The pandemic can definitely be hard on a person’s mental and physical health. It’s easy to develop unhealthy habits in times like these.
Florence Nemani, Clinical Dietitian

Healthy eating needs some skills and can be a challenge, but you should not feel you're alone in this journey.
