Discover 'The Power of Nutrition' for National Nutrition Month

FORT MYERS, Fla. —

March is National Nutrition Month, and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Gisela Bouvier joined Good Morning Gulf Coast to share insights on the "Power of Nutrition."

That ideology highlights the multifaceted role of nutrition in our lives. Bouvier explained that nutrition is not only fuel, but it also creates memories, traditions, and experiences, becoming an integral part of our culture and identity.

Bouvier emphasized that while nutrition looks different for everyone, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and dairy is essential to support health.

She advised limiting added sugars, saturated fats and excessive sodium.

Bouvier also explained the importance of meal environments to your food choice and enjoyment.
