The Town of Delhi wants you to know that each March, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recognizes National Nutrition Month® to encourage healthy food choices and active lifestyles. 

Good nutrition supports heart health, strengthens immunity, improves energy levels, and helps prevent chronic disease. Small, consistent changes can make a big difference. 

This month, consider: 

• Adding more fruits and vegetables to your meals 

• Choosing whole grains over refined grains 

• Drinking more water throughout the day 

• Preparing meals at home when possible 

• Staying active with regular movement 

Supporting your health also supports a stronger community.  

Let’s work together to build a healthier Delhi!
