National Nutrition Month

March is National Nutrition Month in the United States

Nutrition is getting enough essential nutrients - those without which a body cannot function properly and which cannot be manufactured in sufficient quantities, if at all, by the body itself.

In this context it is more to do with eating healthily. The modern diet is full of processed foods that are often eaten because they taste nice, but aren't actually much good for you. Fast food is perhaps the most notorious example of this. The tastiness is often the result of adding various supplements that can cause problems such as obesity if too much of them is consumed, such as sugar.

Fruits and vegetables are often considered to be an essential part of a nutritious and healthy diet.
