March is National Nutrition Month and the Central New York Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics works hard throughout the year to bring awareness about nutrition to the Syracuse community. Registered Dietitian Emily Januseski is National Nutrition Month’s Co Chair for the organization. To find out more about National Nutrition Month, their events, or you have questions or needs in the local community, see their website at CNYAND.org.

Speaking of good nutrition, Purple Banana Acai Shop is now open on Crouse Ave. in Syracuse, offering fresh and healthy choices at the area’s first acai focused business. Owner Luke Nicolette says he picked the name of the shop because he thought it would create some good buzz. Visit the Purple Banana on the SU Hill next to Varsity Pizza!
