Just because National Nutrition Month is coming to an end, doesn’t mean the theme Fuel for the Future needs too. There are so many different ways you can continue to fuel your future through nutrition and wellness. Here’s some inspiration to continue with the theme from New Jersey Registered dietitians.
The Feast of Saint Joseph, Solemnity of Saint Joseph or Saint Joseph’s Day is a Christian feast day celebrating the earthly father of Jesus Christ. It is celebrated by many Christians in March and by the Eastern Orthodox Church on the Sunday after Christmas.
Holi is one of the most celebrated festivals of India and is sometimes known as the “festival of love”. On this day people forget all resentment and bad feelings towards each other and unite.
On March 9, 2023, the Academy will pay homage to our dietary technicians. For the first time we will recognize the day as DTR Day! And so, in honor of this historic event, we are turning the spotlight on DTR, Karey Fenning, a Camden County native who now proudly serves across the river at the distinguished Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).
Dr. Stewart is NJAND’s February RDN of the Month! In honor of Black History month, we are turning the spotlight on Dr. Victoria Stewart, a daughter of the NJ soil with roots in the Caribbean. Dr. Stewart is the Program Director for the Plainfield WIC and is also a CDR certified item writer.
February is American Heart Month! Did you know that following a healthy dietary pattern that is low in saturated fat can help keep your heart healthy?
Did you know January 6th was national bean day? Let’s celebrate the humble bean and all its glory. All beans are included in the festivities!
Kwanzaa focuses on celebrating history, family, community, and culture. It’s a celebration held annually from December 26-January 1st.
As we settle into December, we get more excited about seasonal beverages, snow and spending the holiday season with our family and friends. This time of year is often associated with Christmas, but Hanukkah, a Jewish Holiday is also celebrated around this time.
When the holidays come around, darker days come around too. This time of year brings joy and cheer with celebrations and usually consists of spending time with loved ones. But if you live in an area when the sun progressively sets earlier and earlier, you might end up missing out on your daily dose of vitamin D!
