March! National Nutrition Month--Eat Right Bite by Bite

As I sit down to write, an interesting conversation from this month comes to mind.  I requested food log and the questsion back to me, was which foods should I record?" I was rather taken aback, of coursee the answer is everything including watere that passes your lips and you swallow. Magical thinking is strong in our food culture and the myth that some foods count and others don't continues to surprise me. Everything provides something and I like looking at the patterens in food intakes. There are days that the macro nutrieint porportions continued over a lifetime will lead to chronic diseases. If the average in a week is close to the American Heart Associations recommendations, good job!

This year the media has been focused on the Coronavirus and I have included a link to CDC  reference. Remember healthy people have strong immune systems because they eat right, sleep and keep active. We surcumb to infections when we are tired and run down, then we have to get back to baseline. Take personal actions to take extra care of yourself, not worrying about this is one way to keep strong as well. I have loaded my purse and pockets with Sani wipes and I am trying not to hug or touch people since I surcumbed to the flu this year. I am over it but I think my immune system needs some healing time too.
