Use turkey sausage to lower your fat intake when making this spicy white bean soup.

March signifies the beginning of spring, March Madness and of course, National Nutrition Month.

If you havent already made healthy changes to your lifestyle, it is never too late to begin. Setting one or two goals at a time is a good place to start. At Evolution we find that small healthy changes to your diet can set you up for long-term success in future.

Here are some healthy suggestions you can make to celebrate National Nutrition Month:

Make an appointment with a dietitian. Its always good to have a professional to collaborate with when trying to make changes.

Use whole-grain products instead of refined grains for filling fiber and beneficial nutrients.

Try filling half of your dinner plate with vegetables including red peppers, broccoli, spinach, carrots and tomatoes. These vegetables contain antioxidants which can improve immune function.

Trim the fat from your meals by making lean protein choices such as skinless chicken breasts, fish, shellfish, turkey sausage and pork tenderloin.

Anyone can participate in National Nutrition Month; start by setting a goal and making informed food choices.
