Make small changes over time and you can develop long-lasting eating and exercise habits during National Nutrition Month, which is March — and you could lose some weight and be healthier before summer. “We live in a society that wants everything now,” said Marcia Pessolano, a registered dietitian nutritionist at the Connecticut Department of Public Health. “The truth is, nutrition is no different than anything else.
