Nutrients and food choices

As we move through the day we get to make all kinds of choices. In particular we get to make choices about the diet we consume.

There is a very interesting decision process that we can embrace, as a test, to see what happens to the quality of our diet. This test is based on the 'Nutrient to Calorie' ratio of food.

The decision becomes quite simple - 'does this food that I am about to consume have a lot of nutrients compared to its calories?'

For example a tomato would have a high level of nutrients relative to its calories, where as a spoonful of sugar would have a low level of nutrients relative to its calories.

If we can keep this decision in our consciousness during the daytime, then choosing which foods to eat can become a whole lot easier!
