Eat Well - Pillar 2 of the New 5-a-day

"You are what you eat" - possibly true, but impossibly unhelpful.

What are we even eating?  From whole foods to highly-processed foods, and everything in between, the list of ingredients seems to become more complex with each passing year.  Macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients - and what is a nutrient anyway..? Pre-, pro-, and post-biotics, the list feels endless, so how can we tell what we are even putting in our bodies.

And then the debate starts about what we SHOULD be putting in our bodies - from low-fat to whole-fat; are you keto or vegan? Fasting or grazing?  This debate creates more confusion that it resolves, so we won't spend our time at The New 5-a-Day recommending one approach or another; we won't condemn one approach or another either - unless the science is clear that this is baaaad for you.

We will take a look at the classic debates, and the latest fads and share what the science says so that you can take informed decisions about what you eat and how you eat it.
