Celebrating National Nutrition Month
March is National Nutrition Month. We are celebrating our Senior Nutrition Program, a program that addresses problems of food insecurity and promotes socialization and the well-being of older adults in northeast Indiana through nutrition services.
The focus this year is on oral health. Oral health has a substantial impact on your overall health, and it is heavily influenced by your diet.
More than 80% of adults have at least one cavity by age 34. Oral problems also increase with age due to problems with saliva production, receding gums and more.
Despite the changes that come with age, you can fight poor oral health with a thorough oral health regimen. Let’s explore some of the steps you can take to improve your oral health.

Eat a Healthy Diet
