Superfoods: Nutrient Density

How nutrient dense are the foods you eat on a regular basis? Meaning, how many vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants are you getting from the common foods you eat? Today we tend to look more at the calories of foods than we do their nutrition content. Nutritious food leaves you feeling more full and gives you more energy, supports your immune system, and other bodily functions.
