March is National Nutrition Month. Build a Health Lifestyle. Incorporating fitness into your lifestyle helps build lifelong health plus reduces stress and improves mood. Eating is one of life's greatest pleasures. The 2000 Dietary Guidelines for Americans offers great ideas and sensible ways to help Americans with these choices.
Most people relate fitness to physical activity.
To some, it means a trim or muscular body or the ability to finish a 10K run. Others think of fitness as being free of disease and other health problems. The true definition of fitness is much broader and more personal, according to the American Dietetic Association. All three are interconnected, and nutrition and physical activity are fundamental to each one. During National Nutrition Month, the ADA recommends Americans aim for fitness.
