Nutrient Rich Foods
The Aggregate Nutrient Density Index, or ANDI, was developed by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. The index (ANDI) assigns a score to a number of foods based on how much nutrients per calorie they deliver to your body. The score is consists of a scale ranging from 0 to 1000, with higher numbers being more nutrient packed. Foods with a score of 100 or better are considered nutrient rich, however foods with lower numbers may also provide nutrition
According to Dr. Fuhrman's website, "Adequate consumption of micro-nutrients – vitamins, minerals, and many other phyto-chemicals – without overeating on calories, is the key to achieving excellent health. Micro-nutrients fuel proper functioning of the immune system and enable the detoxification and cellular repair mechanisms that protect us from chronic diseases". Dr. Fuhrman’s best recipe for the prevention and reversal of disease, and for permanent weight loss is simple. Eat foods with most nutrients in the fewest calories possible.
