SALT LAKE CITY — Every week in January one of Harmons four registered dietitians will be responding to your health and nutrition questions. We understand that there are a lot of mixed messages out there when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle, so we want to provide you with sound advice that will help you meet your health goals in 2014. We are excited to tackle your questions about fad diets, "superfood" trends, dietary restrictions and more. Email us at askadietitian@harmonsgrocery.com.
The New Year is here and that means it's time to make those resolutions. For many people, the top resolutions focus on losing weight, exercising and eating healthy. Sometimes those healthy resolutions only last a week or two, but Harmons dietitians are here to make it easy for you to eat well and meet your health goals.
Some of the many services Harmons dietitians provide include:
- Free monthly store tours on a variety of topics or private store tours to meet your needs
- Wellness workshops on topics such as Superfoods, Mediterranean Diet, Eating for Immunity, and Heart Health
- Cooking classes with our chefs at cooking school locations
- Chef and Dietitian store tours
- Community and sport group presentations
- Scout troop tours and workshops
- Workplace health fairs
- Individual nutrition counseling with detailed meal plans
We are also excited to announce the launch of our Dietitians Choice program!
Have you noticed the new green Dietitians Choice shelf tags throughout Harmons Grocery stores?
We wanted to make shopping for healthy food choices easy, so we scoured the aisles for the most nutritious products. We looked at each food category separately when determining nutrition criteria because bread, soup and yogurt, for example, will have different nutrition attributes. In general, foods that maximize whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and beans, minimize saturated fat, sodium, and sugar and do not include any high fructose corn syrup, trans fat, hydrogenated oils, MSG, or artificial sweeteners earn a Dietitians Choice tag.

We will be sampling some delicious Dietitians Choice products at our Harmons locations throughout the month of January. For more information and to see the dates and times that we will be available at your local Harmons, check out our calendar of events. We would love to have you stop by to sample some food and answer all of your questions about this great new program.
You can also join us in our online Dietitian Challenge throughout the month of January. We'll have a new healthy challenge every week designed to make it easy for you to make healthy food choices and stick to your resolutions all year long.
Here's to healthy New Year! We look forward to answering your questions and helping you learn the tools to eat a healthy, balanced diet in 2014.
