National Let's All Eat Right Day 2024

Eating healthy is important. However, there are days when we want to live a little and have McDonalds from time to time. Today is a day to maintain your healthy diet because it’s National Let’s All Eat Right Day.

This day is also the birthday of the famous nutritionist, Adelle Davis. She was a game changer in the nutrition movement in the 1900s. We eat right to take better care of our health and to honor Davis’ work on the legacy she left.

With bestselling books like “Let’s Eat Right to Keep Fit” (1954) and “Let’s Cook it Right” (1947), Davis’ research and publications had a huge impact on the everyday American consumer; even with her fair share of controversy. Her focus was on championing whole foods over processed foods with additives and advocating for the importance of taking nutritional supplements to help prevent disease and potentially other social ills, according to National Today.

Here are a few ways to observe this day:

• Go to your local supermarkets and pick out fresh fruit and vegetables.
• Create your own healthy recipe and share it on social media with a hashtag #NationalLetsAllEat RightDay.
• Make a new change in your diet (ex. eating an apple with a sandwich at lunch).

Today we take better care of ourselves with food that is both healthy and delicious. Happy National Let’s All Eat Right Day!
