National Peanut Lovers Day is celebrated on March 15 every year. This day is dedicated to fans of peanuts and the legume itself. Wait, a legume? Yes, the peanut is, as a matter of fact, a member of the legume family (like peas, beans, or lentils). Did you know that the average American consumes about six pounds of nuts per year? Peanuts are more than just nature’s sweet snacks, they are also healthy and packed with important nutrients — especially protein. Scientists say nut eaters may live longer than non-consumers. Peanuts may be enjoyed alone, and or in various nut-based treats.

NATIONAL CEREAL DAY

March 7th urges us to get our bowl spoon ready for National Cereal Day each year! Since the end of the 19th century, cereal has become America’s most popular breakfast food.



Now, not only is cereal eaten for breakfast, but it has become a popular bedtime snack. Some people even enjoy a bowl for an evening meal. Bakers turn to cereal in their cake, cookie, and bar recipes. The most popular one is Rice Crispy Bar Treats.

National HPV Awareness Day is observed annually on March 4.

It was established to help spread awareness about H.P.V. and educate people about vaccinations and other preventative measures. It allows people to better understand the dangers, signs, and symptoms of H.P.V. The virus is known to be the major cause of cervical cancer. This virus has been known to also cause some types of skin and mucosal cancers.

You scream, I scream, we all scream for…Frozen Yogurt? 😊

Yes! Frozen yogurt is the delicious, creamy treat we all love. Yogurt was first invented over 4,000 years ago in the Middle East and India and then slowly made its way across the world over the centuries. But it wasn’t until the 1970’s the brilliant idea of freezing yogurt (and offering a ‘healthier’ alternative) created the taste sensation we love today. Since then, though tastes have cycled from sweet to sour, frozen yogurt has secured a place in our dessert lexicon.

So, on February 6, pull the lever at your favorite frozen yogurt shop to celebrate National Frozen Yogurt Day.

Join the fight against heart disease on National Wear Red Day. Let's spread awareness and inspire change! ❤️

NATIONAL GREEN JUICE DAY

The holidays may be over, but the New Year celebration and commitments to our resolutions continue with National Green Juice Day on January 26th. Every year, the celebration encourages people to stick to their health and wellness resolutions by drinking green juice.

With less sunlight in the winter months, it's easier to miss out on vitamin D. Here are some ways you can avoid vitamin D deficiency this winter:

1. Eat foods like fatty fish, egg yolks, cheese, and mushrooms.

2. Use a UV lamp sparingly to increase vitamin D production.

3. Add a supplement to your regimen.

4. Review your meds with us to check for drugs that affect nutrient absorption.

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

Ninety-five years after his birth on Jan. 15, 1929, and nearly 61 years after his historic "I Have a Dream" speech, Martin Luther King, Jr.'s stirring words and writings remain as relevant and inspiring today as they were when he lived.

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."

INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE DAY

Every year December 12th marks International Universal Health Coverage Day as a way to urge countries to accelerate progress toward Universal Health Coverage (UHC). The day also seeks to promote the idea that access to affordable quality health care is a human right.

Universal health coverage is a system that provides quality medical care to all of its citizens. The federal government offers health care to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. Out of 33 developed countries, only the United States is without universal health coverage. In 2010, President Obama passed the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This, however, is not considered universal health care.

Finally, it’s Friday! May your day be filled with all the things that make you happy. Have a fantastic weekend!

First recognized in 1988, World AIDS Day falls on December 1 each year. World AIDS Day is dedicated to spreading awareness of the AIDS pandemic spread by the spread of HIV infection, and to mourning those who have died of the disease. An estimated 40 million people worldwide have died of AIDS since 1981, and an estimated 37 million are living with HIV, making it one of the most important global public health issues in recorded history. Despite recent improvements in treatment, the AIDS epidemic still claims an estimated two million lives each year, of which more than 250,000 are children.
