OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesday, March 18, 2009 · 22 Nutrient profiling: does your diet measure up? (NC)--You're hungry you eat. For many, it's that simple, but in a society where most of us are over-fed but under nourished, it's not exactly the healthiest approach to getting everything your body needs to stay in top form. Today's health professionals are touting a new approach to eating well. It's called nutrient profiling. "Everyone has been told 'this is good for you' or 'don't eat that', but we have found that people need an easier system for staying on track," says registered dietitian Helene Charlebois. "Nutrient profiling is about learning how to identify which foods are nutrient-rich, in other words, foods that are full of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients." Charlebois says we often eat 'empty calories' high in processed flour and sugar, and because they are not nutrient-dense, we wind up eating more calories to try and feel satisfied. "Fill your grocery cart with foods that are colourful because this means they are packed with nutrients if OPEN UNTIL 3:00 AM 7 DAYS A WEEK it is from the farm eat it, if not, proceed with caution," says Charlebois. "And always look for labels that indicate a food is whole grain, low-fat, unsaturated or lean." Charlebois says that today's food manufacturers are also making it easier for consumers. "One of the nutrients that your body doesn't produce but that is crucial for your brain, heart and can aid in arthritis and osteoporosis is Omega 3 fatty acids," she says. "Silani has a new line of Omega 3 cheeses and you can also now find this essential nutrient in bread, eggs and more."
