Wed, March 13th 2024 at 2:27 PMDuring March’s National Nutrition Month, Intermountain dietitians are encouraging people to grow their own veggies -- even if there’s snow on the ground – to eat more sustainably, boost nutrition and save money.
“Growing your own food at home or in a community garden is a great way to promote sustainability and encourage healthier eating. For those who don’t know where to start, we recommend growing herbs or lettuce indoors – and if you have enough indoor sunlight, plant tomatoes, peppers or even strawberries,” said Carly Alba, registered dietitian nutritionist with Intermountain Health., a public awareness campaign of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
As spring approaches, Alba suggests planting your seeds and growing your own food. Gardening can improve overall nutrition, variety in diet, improved mental health and mood and exercise, and reduced stress levels.are cropping up at schools, churches and other sites to allow community members to participate in the growing process and share the harvest.
If you want to start right away, you can purchase seeds, soil and little containers at a local gardening shop to try growing herbs and veggies indoors. Just make sure there’s enough sunlight and to follow instructions on the packet. Still have questions? Registered dietitians and nutritionists are food experts who can help you explore ways to reach your health goals.
