In this issue
In this month’s issue we take a look at children and their habits, whether being thin is the same as being fit, the do’s and don’ts of sunscreen, and cystitis. We also take a look at going solar, good nutrition, the importance of nutrient density in a balanced diet, and music as a therapy for Parkinson’s patients. We’re also introducing our new aromatherapy column in which we discuss aromatherapy essential oils.

A Balanced Diet - Calorie Counting Or Nutritional Density?
Nutrient density means how many nutrients you get from a food, given the number of calories it contains. Nutrient-dense foods give you the most nutrients for the fewest number of calories. No principle is more likely to support healthy eating than that of nutrient density, because it gives you concentrated amounts of valuable nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, fibre, essential fatty acids and phytonutrients, to name just a few.
