New nutrition resources for your practice

Are you planning for upcoming educational sessions, clinics or programs? Are you looking for new nutrition education materials to share with clients or for your reference? The team of registered dietitians at the Beef Information Centre (BIC) offers you the following complimentary resources.

1. New! Nutrition Perspective: The Nutrient Rich Food Index

In this issue, Dr. Adam Drewnowski focuses on the Nutrient Rich Food (NRF) Index, a nutrient profiling system developed to guide consumers in making nutrient-dense food choices. The idea is that each food is assigned a unique score that reflects nutrient quality, in order to help consumers make healthier food choices. The Nutrient Rich Food Index stands apart as being a nutrient profiling system that is simple, transparent, validated against objective measures of healthy eating and linked to the Nutrition Facts table.
