Celebrating Nutrition Month: Smart Tools for Healthy Habits

March is National Nutrition Month, an annual campaign that raises awareness around healthful eating and exercise. Established in 1973 by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, National Nutrition Month is especially important today, given rising obesity numbers in the United States.

Nutrition trends are dynamic, with new foods and diets falling in and out of favor at a dizzying pace. Gone are the days of the simple food pyramid. Optimal gut health, the ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting – it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the plethora of buzzwords that are out there today. People want direction and specificity when it comes to what should be in their shopping cart and on their plate.

Changing behavior, bite by bite

Smart nutrition is at the heart of Dario’s programs, which are designed to address cardiometabolic conditions, behavioral health, and musculoskeletal health. According to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the more than three-fold increase in the number of adults living with diabetes in the Americas in the past 30 years is due to growing rates of poor diets, obesity, and lack of physical activity, among other factors. Dario supports our members with programs and features that take the guesswork out of healthy nutrition choices.
