National Nutrition Month® may have you thinking about how you can become better informed about healthy eating and lifestyle changes. The search for reliable, evidence-based nutrition resources can be intimidating when there are literally thousands of publications out there related to food, nutrition, and fitness. The GSDA has put together a recommended reading list, which we hope will help you in quest for good health. These books cover a wide range of topics including the benefits of eating local and organic, how to become a well-informed grocery shopper, how to choose healthier foods when eating out, and many other nutrition-related topics. Most of these books are available at your local library or bookstore or can be found online. This is nowhere near a comprehensive list, and we encourage you to ask a Registered Dietitian for their recommendations. We all have our favorites!
