Nutrition Corner

Each week, we will begin highlighting different nutrients that are found in the foods you eat and we will provide tips on how to incorporate each one into your diet! Nutrients are substances found in foods that are necessary for proper growth and functioning of the body.

They provide energy and regulate body processes. Macronutrients include carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, while micronutrients include vitamins, minerals, and water. Check back next week for more information on the benefits of each of these and how you can use seasonal produce to eat balanced meals!
