March
National Nutrition Month
Some experts say that our modern lifestyle — stressful, sedentary, and calorie-rich — is unnatural. It's contrary to millions of years of evolution, they say,
when people had to work hard for their daily bread and store reserves for lean times. Now that developed countries have conquered most infectious diseases, our

Nutrition Month, so check out our stories on healthy eating for ideas on getting more fresh, healthy food on your plate.
