Eating right takes effort and planning. You can’t simply put whatever you want into your body and expect it to function properly. Take the time to eat the foods that are going to give you the most nutrient boost.
Interestingly, most people take in plenty of calories (usually far more than they need) yet they are lacking in many important nutrients that help the body function well.
Certain nutrients, especially fibre, potassium, vitamin A and vitamin D seem to be missing from the diets of many adults. The good news is that you can easily make some changes that will add these essential nutrients to your diet—and may even cut some calories along the way.
Getting enough calories is important, but how you get those calories may be more important. You have to eat the right foods to get the nutrients that your body needs to stay healthy and function well.
