Get ready to connect with food. March is National Nutrition Month. This year's theme is "food connects us," a reminder that food is about so much more than just nutrients and calories.
Local dietitian Gisela Bouvier joined Gulf Coast News to help us dive deeper into how food really does connect us.
Food is a connecting factor for many of us. Food connects us to our cultures, our families and our friends. Sharing a meal is an opportunity to learn about its preparation, who made it and where the ingredients were sourced. Health, memories, traditions, seasons and access can all impact our relationship with food. While these factors influence the foods we eat, the foods we eat also affect our health.
