March is National Nutrition Month and this year’s theme “Food Connects Us” highlights how food serves as a powerful link between people. It ties us to our cultures, families, and friends, and sharing a meal opens doors to understanding its preparation, the hands that crafted it, and the origins of its ingredients. In turn, the food we consume plays a significant role in shaping our health.

“Working with the freshest ingredients available, no matter the season, are the most nutritious,” says Prowers Medical Center Nutritionist John Ruibal. “Choose fresh over frozen and frozen over canned and give new seasonal recipes a try!”
