 Understanding the nuances of processed foods and the differences between processed and ultra-processed foods is essential for making informed dietary choices.

Consuming highly processed foods can have disadvantages, such as impacting energy levels and nutrient intake, and it's crucial to prioritize whole foods and nutrient-dense options.

Online nutrition information can contribute to health anxieties and misinformation, and it's important to critically evaluate sources and seek evidence-based guidance from qualified professionals. 

Navigating nutrition information online can be challenging due to conflicting advice and unregulated sources.

Understanding head, heart, and stomach hunger can help in making mindful food choices.

Fasting may have different implications for women, and individual context should be considered.

The power of food for skin health lies in nourishment and what is added to the diet.

Approaching nutrition from a perspective of addition and abundance is more beneficial than focusing on subtraction and scarcity.
