In 1980 the theme was \u201cTo Hit Your Stride, Eat Smart\u201d.\u00a0 For 2022, we\u2019ll be encouraging you to\u2026<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Celebrate a World of

everyone is different with unique bodies, backgrounds, goals, and tastes.\u00a0 The theme encourages you to nourish yourself with the foods of your culture and embrace your diversity.\u00a0 To help you do this, the month is broken down into weekly key messages:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Week 1:\u00a0 Eat a Variety of Nutritious Food<\/li>\n<li>Week 2:\u00a0 See a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN)\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Week 3:\u00a0 Plan your meals and snacks<\/li>\n<li>Week 4:\u00a0 Create tasty foods at home<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each week will talk about different ideas and practices you can incorporate into your routine to make healthy habits. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>How to Get Involved<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p
