Be sure of enough nutrients?

Question
Dear Kimberly,
How can i be sure the foods i eat is enough of nutrients?

Answer
Chow,
First of all you should be following a guide such as the Food Guide Pyramid to ensure you are eating the appropriate servings from each and every food group each day!!  Secondly, you should inquire to your doctor about an over-the-counter multi-vitamin/mineral supplement just to ensure you are getting what you need every day.  Supplements should NOT take the place of food but they act as an insurance policy along with a healthy and well balanced diet to ensure you are getting all you need.
