About this episode
This episode focuses on the importance of good nutrition and building balanced meals to support long-term health.
In this episode of Wellness Wake Up Call, we celebrate National Nutrition Month and this year’s theme, “Discover the Power of Nutrition.” This week’s focus, Power Your Day with Nutrition, encourages building balanced meals with all five food groups, eating a variety of colorful foods, and avoiding restrictive diets that promise quick fixes. Small, consistent habits can make a big difference in supporting long-term health. Content provided by Rachel Mannen, Food and Nutrition Educator with University of Illinois Extension.
