March is Nutrition Month

This March, Dietitians of Canada‘s Nutrition Month campaign is entitled Take the Fight Out of Food. For many of us, our ‘food fight’ may be with ourselves, our children, or other family member, it’s important to remember that food can be a source of joy and pleasure, and not a battleground.

Here are 5 of the common areas where we can end up in “food fights”, and each of these link to an information page with more tips and ideas.

Food Fads: How do I know which nutrition information to trust?
Digestive Woes: What’s causing all this gas?
Picky Eating: Why is family mealtime such mayhem?
Eating and Stress: Why do I always turn to food when I’m stressed?
Managing a Condition (e.g. diabetes): How can I manage my diabetes?
