Nutrition – What Really Matters

Nutrition concerns us all. Throughout our lives, we eat multiple times a day. One might think that we are all experts in nutrition, yet it remains difficult to find a consistent thread in healthy eating. Many experts recommend completely different measures; new diets and wisdoms constantly emerge, some of which contradict each other. This creates great uncertainty. The only consensus is that we can maintain our health through our diet or navigate through illnesses. This guide provides reliable answers and navigates through the jungle of dietary recommendations by focusing solely on the essential basics, enabling individuals to find their own healthy eating style according to personal preferences, taste, and social environment. In this book, you will learn, among other things, why "sour" makes you sick and fat does not automatically make you overweight, why the food pyramid from our school days is no longer valid, and why cholesterol is also a "stress molecule" that does not always need to be combated immediately with cholesterol-lowering medications.
