March is National Nutrition Month. 

Monica Nyman with the St. Louis District Dairy Council explains that during this month, we should be focused on making informed food choices, developing healthy eating habits, and participating in physical exercise. She adds that the theme for this year is "Discover the Power of Nutrition."

Weekly messages are a part of the month to remind us of those good habits. Nyman says the first was "Powering your day with nutrition." Still to come this month are "Find advice backed by science," "Stay nourished on any budget," and "Feel good with healthy habits."

Alongside National Nutrition Month is the release of new Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and we'll have more on those changes in the days ahead from the Hart Media Group.
