March is a time to focus on prevention and healthy living as we recognize National Nutrition Month and Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.
Good nutrition is one of the most important steps we can take to support lifelong health. The foods we eat help fuel our bodies, strengthen our immune systems, and reduce the risk of chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease. Small, consistent changes can make a big difference over time. If you have questions about healthy eating or managing a health condition through nutrition, our care teams are here to support you.
March also highlights the importance of colorectal cancer screening. Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when detected early through routine screening. Screening is recommended for most adults beginning at age 45, or earlier depending on personal and family history. If you are unsure about when you should be screened, we encourage you to speak with your provider.
At Northern Valley Indian Health, prevention and early detection are key parts of whole-person care. We are honored to walk alongside you and your family in building healthy habits and staying up to date with recommended screenings.
