The nutrition facts label can be a powerful tool in making informed food choices. When used properly, it can empower us to make healthy habits for life.

Did you know that Black mothers are nearly 4
times more likely than white mothers to die from
pregnancy-related causes? Nearly two-thirds of Black
women experienced chronic worry about racial
discrimination for themselves or a loved one. #BlackMaternalHealthWeek

It's Black Maternal Health Week. CAPK WIC is committed to the reduction of adverse maternal health outcomes experienced by Black women. The California WIC program serves as part of a system of support for Black mothers and their babies and their right to live and thrive.

A vegetarian eating style can meet nutrient needs, including protein, for infants to older adults, if it’s well-planned and includes a variety of foods. 🍏🍎🍐🍊🍋🍌🍉🍇🍓

Sources of naturally occurring sugars, such as fruit and milk, provide important nutrients, like vitamins and minerals. Sugars that are added to foods and beverages often contribute calories but lack nutrients that are needed for good health.

[Community Action Partnership of Kern WIC Program @capkwic]

A healthful eating style can be beneficial for everyone. Proper nutrition is needed throughout life – for growth and development at a young age and as we get older. It can also help with managing many chronic diseases or reducing their risk. #HealthyEating

The updated #NutritionFacts label found on
packaged foods and beverages offers a handy tool for
choosing healthy foods. 🍎

Use it today to check serving sizes, to find foods with
less fat and added sugars, and foods with more fiber,
vitamins, and minerals. ☑️ #WIC #labelreading
