Celebrate Registered Dietitian Day with ShopRite
Keasbey, NJ (PRWEB) February 25, 2014 -- In 2006, ShopRite took the initiative to implement a unique health and wellness program to help its customers eat well and live a healthy lifestyle. ShopRite’s Retail Dietitian program has grown since then to include more than eighty in-store Registered Dietitians who provide their services to ShopRite customers completely free of charge. This year, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics will recognize the efforts of America’s Registered Dietitian professionals on Wednesday, March 12th. ShopRite’s retail dietitian team will celebrate this special day with special events, in-store demonstrations and free giveaways throughout the month of March.
Natalie Menza, ShopRite’s Corporate Dietitian said, “With more than eighty retail Registered Dietitians, ShopRite is always looking at new ways to better serve customers and to help them live healthier lifestyles. Registered Dietitian Day is a great way to spread ShopRite’s wellness message and share tips and tricks for healthy living.”

Customers can take advantage of these services, which include, but are not limited to, personal nutrition, special diets for specific medical conditions, healthy alternatives in your favorite recipes, smarter shopping for healthier living and implementing more nutritious foods into everyday meals. Best of all, these services are completely free of charge!
