I’ll admit it: I’ve fallen for food labels before. One time I was in a rush at the supermarket and grabbed a cereal proudly labelled “Multigrain.” In my head, that meant plenty of wholesome whole grains. Later on, when I actually checked the ingredients, I realised it wasn’t the case at all. Multigrain simply means […]

I like to have pizza once in a while, who doesn’t? And I usually go for frozen pizza. I know it’s not exactly a health food, but my take is this: as long as you don’t have it every day, it’s not going to do you any harm. I normally have mine with a big […]

When it comes to omega-3s, you’ve probably heard of EPA and DHA. They’re the ones listed on most fish oil supplements and often talked about for heart and brain health. But recently, I came across something I hadn’t heard much about before – DPA, sometimes called the “missing omega.” I was curious. What is DPA? […]

Popcorn has a bit of a split reputation. Some see it as a healthy snack, others think of it as junk food. So what happens when you add olive oil? Popcorn made with olive oil can be a healthy choice, especially if you use extra virgin olive oil and keep the salt and portion size […]

If you’re losing more hair than usual, your diet could be playing a big role. A poor diet, missing key nutrients like protein, iron, and healthy fats, can definitely lead to hair thinning and even hair loss. Hair relies on a steady supply of nutrients to grow well and stay strong, and when you don’t […]

I know they look kind of similar — creamy, white, and thick — but sour cream and mayo aren’t the same thing. And no, sour cream doesn’t have mayo in it. They just happen to show up in some of the same recipes, like dips, dressings, and sandwiches. Still, when you’re trying to make healthier […]

I must admit, I really love fig rolls — they’re sweet, addictive, and if they’re in the house, they disappear fast. But even though they’ve got fig in them, it’s pretty clear to me they’re not exactly a health food. Still, I know a lot of people aren’t sure where they stand — are they […]

I love a good avocado toast—simple, delicious, and healthy. But until recently, I had no idea it actually contains a surprising amount of protein! Now, it’s not as protein-packed as eggs or chicken, but it still adds to your daily intake. If you use whole wheat bread with half a medium avocado, you’re looking at […]

Beets (or beetroot, if you’re in the UK) and radishes might look somewhat similar at first glance—both are round, root vegetables, and both come in vibrant red varieties. But that’s where the similarities end. These two veggies are not the same. Beets have a naturally sweet, earthy taste and a smooth texture when cooked, while […]

Garlic bread is one of those occasional treats I can’t resist when dining out. It’s crispy, flavourful, and, let’s be honest, absolutely delicious. But how healthy is it? Sure, garlic is good for you, but what about the butter and bread? I decided to find out by looking into the ingredients and nutritional values from […]
