Resolution 23-24-20 National Nutrition Month.pdf
Summary: National Nutrition Month is an educational campaign focusing on the significance of physical fitness as well as eating nourishing meals. Originally National Nutrition Week campaign was first launched in 1973, with the theme “Invest in Yourself – Buy Nutrition.”

The American Dietetic Association (ADA) was an early advocate in getting the message to the public organizing educational events held in schools and health care centers. By the beginning of 1980, the House of Delegates expanded National Nutrition Week to National Nutrition Month due to an intense increase in popularity. The ADA is now known as the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and, with more than 70,000 members, is the world’s largest organization of registered dietitian nutritionists and dietetic technicians.

This year’s theme is "Beyond the Table", focusing on exercising regularly and making the best food choices.
