It’s national nutrition month and the theme this year is “Go Further With Food.”

University of Illinois extension nutrition and wellness educator Laura Barr says about three-fourths of the population are not eating enough fruits and vegetables.

There’s also a focus this month on food waste. Barr says planning is key such as checking the pantry before you head to the grocery store and deciding what you will be eating fresh and what can be frozen.

She says you should also make sure you include low-fat dairy or other sources of calcium in your diet.
