5-Counts of Nutrition Monitoring

What is nutrition monitoring?

First, we count calories: adding-up the energy values of proteins, carbohydrates and fats - collectively referred to as macronutrients. Second, we count non-energy micronutrients, such as fibre, vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Then we count negatives: like flavourings, additives, e-numbers, modified-foods, and salt. Finally we add in the positive foods and the functional foods, the ones especially good for us.  

This simple arithmetic is the basis of nutrition monitoring, adding up to a 7-count resource essential for those seeking optimum health and well-being. The resource is navigated by the menu bar below
