Today is Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day. As Idaho’s food and nutrition experts, our Idaho RDNs are committed to improving the health of their patients and community.
According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics:
Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day commemorates the dedication of RDNs as advocates for advancing the nutritional status of Americans and people around the world. Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day was created by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics to increase the awareness of registered dietitian nutritionists as the indispensable providers of food and nutrition services and to recognize RDNs for their commitment to helping people enjoy healthy lives. Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day and National Nutrition Month® promote the Academy and RDNs to the public and the media as the most valuable and credible source of timely, scientifically-based food and nutrition information.
Below is a proclamation from The Office of Idaho’s Governor proclaiming March 14th to be Registered Dietitian Nutritionists Day in Idaho.
