Shoprite of Norwalk held a community event that focused on healthy eating and nutrition awareness Wednesday to celebrate National Nutrition Month.

Customers participated in interactive activities, learned about nutrition resources and ate healthy food samples.

They were also able to meet with the store's dietitians.

"Start small, even if it's something as simple as incorporating more fruits and vegetables every day or getting breakfast every day. Getting your hydration, eating a varied diet full of whole grains, lean protein, just make one small change and that can build up to a bigger habit," says Siddhi Sheth, MS, RDN, CDN.

Sheth says common nutrition myths she and her colleagues often debunk for customers include people thinking certain foods are always off limit and not believing in moderation.
