Renowned Author Of ‘EATING IN COLOR’ Teams Up with Sprouts Farmers Market to Promote Healthy Eating on TipsOnTv
This year’s theme for National Nutrition Month is that food connects us. What is on plates is so much more than how it tastes. It is an opportunity to learn about how it is made, who made it and the origin of its ingredients. In addition, food connects us to cultures, families and friends. Shopping for food wisely can improve health and lengthen our lives.
Nutritionist Frances Largeman-Roth, RDN, the nationally known Author of EATING IN COLOR and five other books, including her most recent book Everyday Snack Tray is teaming with Sprouts Farmers Market to present healthy new recipes and answer many questions about how food connects people to good health. It is the perfect kickoff for National Nutrition Month. Largeman-Roth explains how to create a daily routine filled with high-quality and nutritionally-sound snacks and meals.
AN EASY THING EVERYONE CAN DO
One of the easiest things to do is add more fresh, whole foods to our meals. Think vibrant fruits, nutrient-packed veggies, and quality proteins. This spring, discover unique, healthy items and peak season produce at Sprouts Farmers Market. Shopping in-season is a great way to get the freshest options, like asparagus and citrus fruits in the spring. Another simple trick is meal prep! Cooking at home helps control ingredients and make healthier choices.
CONSIDER ORGANIC WHEN SHOPPING AND COOKING
Going organic is an easy way to ensure food is free from synthetic pesticides and GMOs, plus it often has a higher nutritional value. Organic farming is also better for the planet, helping to preserve soil and water resources. At Sprouts Farmers Market, it is easier than ever to make the switch, just start by swapping a few staples, like organic eggs, coffee, or fresh produce. And do not forget, organic ingredients shine in recipes during any season.
