El objetivo del Mes Nacional de la Nutrici\u00f3n es alentar a los estadounidenses a mejorar su salud personal a trav\u00e9s de la dieta y el poder de los alimentos.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>El mes se divide en cuatro semanas. Cada semana enfatiza un tema determinado basado en la alimentaci\u00f3n saludable:<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Semana uno: \u00a1Coma una variedad de alimentos nutritivos todos los d\u00edas!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Come el arco\u00edris! No, no nos referimos a Skittles. Comer el arco\u00edris solo significa probar muchas frutas y verduras de diferentes colores. \u00a1Puntos de bonificaci\u00f3n si prueba alimentos que nunca antes hab\u00eda comido o que no come con frecuencia! Tambi\u00e9n puede aprender a leer las etiquetas nutricionales, tomar mucha agua, controlar sus porciones y comer lentamente para saborear el sabor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Semana dos: planifique sus comidas cada semana.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Este es bastante sencillo. Antes del comienzo de la semana, intente planificar tantas comidas como pueda. Utilice estas comidas planificadas para hacer su lista de compras. Si es posible, busque opciones de comidas en su escuela o trabajo para la pr\u00f3xima semana. Trate de hacer que sus comidas fuera de casa sean saludables o prepare comidas en casa para llevarlas con usted si no hay opciones saludables disponibles. Consejo: busque los men\u00fas de los restaurantes con anticipaci\u00f3n y decida lo que va a pedir antes de llegar.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Semana tres: \u00a1Aprenda habilidades para crear comidas sabrosas!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Prueba a cocinar! Muchos de nosotros podemos sentirnos un poco inc\u00f3modos en la cocina. Cocinar es como cualquier otra cosa: \u00a1tienes que practicar para mejorar! Nadie nace chef profesional. Aproveche esta semana para divertirse cocinando comidas saludables. Busque algunas recetas saludables de platos que le gusten o busque recetas de platos nuevos para probar. Los alimentos nuevos pueden ser m\u00e1s interesantes cuando los ha preparado usted mismo. Otro consejo: usa las recetas que encuentres para hacer tu lista de compras semanal. Recuerde guardar los alimentos no consumidos como sobras para reducir el desperdicio de alimentos.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Semana cuatro: consulte a un nutricionista dietista registrado (RDN).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>P\u00eddale a su m\u00e9dico una remisi\u00f3n para ver a un RDN. Los dietistas registrados son profesionales de la salud que se especializan en ayudar a los pacientes a elegir los mejores alimentos. Los dietistas pueden ayudarlo a que su dieta sea m\u00e1s saludable, sin dejar de incluir algunas de sus comidas favoritas. Los dietistas tambi\u00e9n pueden ayudar a tratar diversas afecciones de salud como la obesidad, la diabetes y muchas otras.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Shawnee Health Care ofrece algunos programas que pueden serle \u00fatiles, tanto durante el Mes Nacional de la Nutrici\u00f3n como durante todo el a\u00f1o:<\/h3>\n<p>\u2022 Shawnee tiene dos dietistas de tiempo completo, Gail Peterman y Marie Funk.
