What Better Way to Spring Into Healthy Eating During Nutrition Month

The arrival of spring means warmer weather, more outdoor activities and shedding layers of winter wear. With the average American gaining up to five pounds during cold winter months, it also means pushing to lose that extra padding by summer. With spring picnics, parties and weddings (and all that feasting that's included), the added pounds only tend to multiply for many. Its possible to enjoy life - and all the celebrations that come with it - while eating healthier and developing wellness habits.
