SUMMARY:
– Carrots do contain plenty of vitamin A, which is essential for eye health. But unfortunately, no matter how many carrots you eat, you’ll still have to keep wearing your glasses!
– Yes, oranges are a great source of vitamin C… just like any other citrus fruit! And contrary to popular belief, they don’t contain the highest amount.
– While it’s true that your body can’t break down and digest swallowed gum, it will still go through your digestive system and eventually be removed from your body through bowel movement.
– The minuscule amounts of L-tryptophan in turkey aren’t enough to knock you out. Besides, other meats contain no less tryptophan, so why do you feel so sleepy after eating them too? It’s most likely your body’s reaction to eating too much sugar during the huge festive dinner!
– It’s true that most packaged foods have a lot of fat, calories, and additives. But there are some packaged products that can contribute to a healthy and nutritionally balanced diet.
– Unsightly stains don’t affect the inside of the fruit or make it any less tasty. Unfortunately, most people take one look at them and chuck perfectly good food away!
– White potatoes differ from white rice or white bread. These vegetables are nutritious and contain a lot of fiber, vitamin C, and B vitamins.
– To digest food, your body uses only about 10% of the calories it’s consumed. But these low-calorie foods are still great for a healthy diet and weight loss!
– On the one hand, the process of cooking can indeed kill particular nutrients that raw vegetables contain. However, the same process can improve the absorption of other nutrients.
– Certain white vegetables like turnips and cauliflower are a great source of important nutrients.
– Packaged juices contain too much sugar and almost no pulp. As a result, when you drink it, you increase your insulin levels.
– Certain kinds of seafood are rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids. And these components are actually vital for the development of a baby!
– Lemon water won’t make any long-term changes or help you lose unwanted weight.
– You do need to support your body with some kind of fuel after a workout. But to grow muscle mass, it’s more important to take in protein daily.
