Black people have wonderful foods. Our cuisine originated in Africa but has been influenced by many other Black diasporic cultures. Food and nutrition are very important components of

Black culture. We should always think about improving our nutrition and March is a great time to do it. Nutrition affects every aspect of our health—physical, mental, and emotional.

National Nutrition Month in the USA is a nutrition education and information campaign created annually in March by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The campaign focuses

attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits.

Black Americans face many difficulties about nutrition and healthy eating. Food insecurity, financial difficulties, and Eurocentric ideas of nutrition affect and limit our nutritional

choices. Enjoy healthy nutritious foods with family and friends. Pray together. Take a walk together. Thank the ancestors together.

Let’s take control of our nutrition and health—the Black way!
