A nutritionist debunks common food myths, offering insights for a healthier diet:
Eggs: Once wrongly accused of raising cholesterol, eggs provide high-quality protein and choline, essential for brain health.
Food Labels: Warning labels on foods are calculated per 100 grams and don't necessarily reflect the overall quality of the product.
Plant Proteins: Combining plant proteins with cereals provides all essential amino acids, making them a viable option for a balanced diet.
Iron Absorption: Vitamin C aids in iron absorption, emphasizing the importance of combining foods rich in both nutrients.
Vitamin B12: Essential for vegans, as it's only found in animal products.
Fats: Mono-unsaturated fats, found in avocados, olive oil, and seeds, have anti-inflammatory effects and promote cardiovascular health.
