Visit NuVal.com to see how the foods you currently eat rate on the scale and see what other choices you might make. Marketing of food products is loosely regulated and labels can be quite misleading, so a guide like NuVal can be a good start.
While services like NuVal are helpful in weeding out truly unhealthy foods, every person has unique nutritional needs. There is no perfect way of eating that works for everybody. Finding the right foods for you is an intuitive and analytical process that takes time and attention, and may constantly change due to changes in the seasons, your lifestyle, and your health. One person’s food may be another’s poison, so careful attention to effects of foods on your energy, your mood, and your health is the best way to ensure a truly healthy diet.
