Dietary Diversity
Since April is Celebrate Diversity Month let’s talk about Dietary Diversity! Dietary diversity is another name for a well-balanced diet. This means we need to include all five food groups into our meals across breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Our good health requires a balance of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients from each of the food groups. Some people may need to follow specific diets, but diversity is required within all of them. MyPlate shows us how to take steps towards this balance.
