Fuel for the Future

During National Nutrition Month®, and every month, good nutrition is Fuel for the Future.

Meet nutrition goals by forgoing fad diets and focusing on a variety of foods from all food groups in various forms, including frozen and canned goods. As always, make space for your favorite cultural foods and traditions.

Save money while keeping yourself and your family fueled. Start with a meal plan and make smart choices by utilizing foods at home first, as well as using a grocery list and shopping sales at the store. Resources such as SNAP, WIC and local food banks are available for eligible households to help make access to food and healthy eating an easier to reach goal.

Fuel yourself and family by developing cooking skills and incorporating new foods from around the world. Get creative with your leftovers to avoid tossing them. When possible, eat with family and friends to create memories and enjoy nourishing meals together.

Fuel your future and the future of the planet by eating with the environment in mind. Incorporate more plant-based foods and try purchasing foods with minimal packaging. When possible, buy seasonal foods and shop locally, or try growing food at home.

Remember to make every bite count.
