Nutrition: Nutrient-Rich Dairy Foods

A growing concern that most Americans are overweight and many are undernourished has refocused attention on nutrient-rich foods (NRF). A diet built on nutrient-dense or nutrient-rich foods can provide a solid foundation for better health over a lifetime. To help restore balance to the diet, Dairy Management Inc.™ (DMI) promotes a nutrient-rich foods approach, by encouraging dairy foods and beverages that provide substantial nutrients per calorie. Learn more about how dairy contributes to a healthy lifestyle. For more information: National Dairy Council®: Nutrient-rich Foods Coalition
