As we celebrate National Nutrition Month, it’s essential to recognize that nutrition extends beyond the food on our plates. Embracing sustainable practices not only benefits our planet but also plays a significant role in promoting overall health and well-being. One critical aspect of sustainable nutrition is reducing food waste from school, our work environment, and our homes. By minimizing food waste and adopting eco-conscious habits, we can contribute to a healthier planet and foster a more sustainable future for generations to come.

Prediabetes and Type II diabetes occur when the body cannot properly use insulin, causing glucose to build up in the bloodstream instead of being used for energy. The good news is that Type II diabetes is preventable through healthy lifestyle choices like monitoring blood sugar, maintaining a balanced diet, staying physically active, and participating in programs like the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program.
