February 25, 2020
This March is National Nutrition Month, which is a great time to revisit those healthy resolutions you made at the beginning of the year and also learn some different ways to easily incorporate healthy options into your day-to-day routine.
To celebrate this occasion, your Employee Health and Well-Being team invites you to participate in the My Nutrition Challenge, a four-week event that will allow you to have some fun, learn some simple recipes for tasty and nutritious meals, and maybe even win a prize.
Challenge details
My Nutrition Challenge takes place beginning Monday, March 2, through Friday, March 27.
Upon registration, participants will receive a tracking form that will help them stay on top of their progress, as well as weekly motivational tips to help keep them on course
Participants who complete the post-challenge survey will receive a cutting board.
At the end of the challenge, participants who submit a success story will also be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a Ninja blender.
Additional information about the challenge is available on our new Well-Being page on Connect.
