Every food is nutritious in its own right. Through the years the world of nutrition becomes broader and broader, especially when new research emerges. It can suddenly affect your diet. Most of the time dieticians and scientists confuse the people concerning what is healthy or not.

You need to know more about what you eat because having a healthy lifestyle comes with nutritious food. If you don't know its health benefits, then you might experience nutritional mistakes most of the time.

Here are some of the most useful information about food and nutrition:

1.      Saturated fat is not good for your health

This is like the black sheep of nutritious foods. These fats are the reason why many people suffer from heart diseases.

In fact, these oils are not bad for you, if taken in small amounts. Taking food containing a large amount of saturated fats could lead to omega-6/omega-3 imbalance. New research also shows that coconut oil and ghee are some of the healthiest oils around that can be used for cooking.

2.      Ketogenic diet is bad for your health

Dieticians won't recommend this kind of diet. For the past few years, the keto diet became a wide range topic and it is trending worldwide. This high-fat, low-carb diet has been around more than hundreds of years ago.

Ketosis influences the function of the brain and weight loss is just a bonus. It lets you focus on limiting all carbs and increasing intake of healthy fats as your nutrition. It can be beneficial for others but not for someone who has serious cardiovascular diseases. This will make you fully adjust to changes of food intakes affecting the chemicals inside the body

3.      Organic food does not make any difference

The price of an organic carrot doubles or triples the price of an ordinary one. It is given that when you choose to eat healthier food you need to spend more.

Organic food is just as good as mass-produced crops and poultry. These are all lies!

Organic food is totally healthier to eat. Just imagine those pesticides used in mass production, even though you washed or sliced them it's already there. If you have the means to do so, go buy organic foods that can give better nutrition for you.

4.      Eggs are bad for your health

Eggs are the most common food you can find anywhere. Many people thought that this food increased your cholesterol instantly.

There is no direct relationship between eggs and cholesterol unless you eat a lot of egg yolks. It is the yolk that makes it bad due to the saturated fat the yellow part contains. Overall, egg is good even with the yolk when consumed with moderation.

5.      Supplements can become replacements

To improve the health of humanity, many laboratories start producing food supplements that can balance the health nutrition of a person. People are so busy trying to improve their careers and don't have the time to prepare balanced meals.

Well, from the term supplements its purpose to extend or boost your body's nutrition capacity. Never rely on these boosters alone because it can't replace the nutrients contained in food.

Know yourself better and eat healthy foods. Don't just eat something because someone says it's healthy or because it can cure diseases. You must be responsible for your body. Take good care of it for 50 years and it will take care of you for the next five decades.
