The book incorporates using these nutrient-rich foods in combinations that maximize the nutritional benefits of each food. This nutrient-rich program translates into obtaining the highest level of nutrients and phytochemicals in the least amount of calories, which helps to reduce risk of chronic disease and obesity.
