March is the Academy of Nutrition and Diatetics National Nutrition Month! To celebrate, I am announcing that all month long, we will be talking about nutrition for older adults. We will be covering at least one topic a week, starting tomorrow. I like to do these short posts announcing themed months just because if I try to cram them in with topic posts, then they get way too long. I’ve never been accused of being short-winded. Here is a short overview of what you might see from us in the coming month.

Sample Topics You’ll See This Month

  • Dealing with new allergies and dietary restrictions that may occur as you age.
  • Getting nutrition in while having a decreased appetite
  • Affordability and nutrition
  • Meal preperation help grom caregivers

I have some fun things planned for this month, and I hope that you all enjoy it! Stay tuned.
