Hey guys, in this video, I want to talk about something called RDAs, which are the

0:26.6

nutrient requirements that we need. So a lot of people have heard about them, they don't

0:31.0

know about them, what that means. But I wanted to bring up your awareness on the fact that

0:36.0

an RDA is really a minimum requirement, a bare minimum requirement, to prevent a deficiency

0:43.5

disease. So you have scurvy, which is a vitamin C deficiency, it's like classic vitamin C

0:49.5

deficiency, it's called, you have Barry Berry, which is a B1 deficiency, Pallegra, which

the nutrients and the top foods that you would have to focus on to get those nutrients.

1:42.8

1:46.4

have nutrient-dense foods, and then you have other foods that are not that nutrient-dense.

1:57.1

But they're still good to consume. So let's just talk about the nutrient-dense foods.
