Georgia Pecans Fit! with FITNESS Magazine

This year, the Georgia Pecan Commission partnered with FITNESS Magazine to host the Mind, Body, Spirit Games in New York City’s Central Park. Emphasizing how Georgia pecans fit with fitness, the Commission helped participants get enthusiastic about incorporating antioxidant-rich foods, especially pecans, into their post-workout diets.

Participants and their families snacked on one-ounce samples of Georgia pecans and talked one-on-one with “guy-a-titian” Dave Grotto, RD, LDN. Visitors to the Commission booth also entered to win Dave’s latest book, 101 Optimal Life Foods – a step-by-step guide to good health through healing foods like Georgia pecans. Many attendees had questions for Dave on the health benefits of pecans, including which portion size is best (a one-ounce serving per day) and how to incorporate pecans into a high protein diet (portion control!).

By the end of the day, over 6,000 enthusiastic, health-conscious attendees and their families attended the Mind, Body, Spirit Games and learned that Georgia pecans, not only “fit” in a variety of nutritious recipes, but also “fit” a healthy lifestyle.
