National Nutrition Month By YMCA of Western Monmouth County

Eating properly is a key ingredient to a healthier lifestyle, and the Freehold YMCA encourages everyone in the community to learn more about eating well and to put that knowledge to good use. Eating right does not need to be complicated; it can be very simple, but everything you eat or drink will have an impact over time. Choosing the proper balance of food can make a difference now and going forward. Make small changes to get started. According to guidelines established by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, a meal can be divided into five food groups: Protein, grains, fruits, vegetables and dairy. They suggest the following: • Fruits and vegetables should be half of your daily diet. • Focus on whole fruits and vary the types of vegetables you eat. • Make half of the grains you eat whole grains. • Try to make your daily products low-fat or fat-free milk or yogurt. • Vary your proteins. • Drink and eat less sodium, saturated fats and added sugars.

To help the community learn more about healthier eating, the Freehold YMCA at 470 East Freehold Road, Freehold, will host Food Fact vs. Fiction with CentraState Registered Dietitian, Caryn Alter, MS Rd, FAND. All members of the community are welcome to attend the event on March 19 at 10am.
