Among our daily choices, few things affect our health, well-being, and emotions more than food. Whether it’s the pleasure of eating a piece of chocolate cake or the anxiety of figuring out if salt is good or bad for you, food plays a vital role in how we feel. With so much nutrition advice available, it can be overwhelming to sort out what’s accurate, how to apply it, and what will truly benefit us.
