This March’s Nutrition Month theme is “Unlock the Potential of Food.” Food is so much more than nutrients: it brings us together, fuels us for activity, and is a world of discovery – for children and adults alike. This month we have an exciting feature:
- A Facebook live chat March 14 with NH dietitians!
Eating Together Contest
During Nutrition Month throughout March, we want to see how you “eat together!” Organize a date to eat together, show us, and be entered to win an Instant Pot! This could mean grabbing a coffee and scone with a colleague, organizing a lunch date with a friend, having a potluck with family – whatever this means to you! Set a date, eat together, and show us to win!
Eating together has so many benefits. It brings us together and allows us to celebrate each other, our relationships, and the food we’re sharing. It also helps create social connectedness which is good for our overall health!
To enter:
- Take a photo of you eating together with someone.
- Include a caption of what eating together means to you.
- Share to:
- NH Facebook contest event.
- NH Instagram (tag us or send us a message!).
- Email healthpromotions@northernhealth.ca.
- Mail Health Promotions #810 – 299 Victoria Street, Prince George, BC V2L 5B8.
