25 FOODS MOST PEOPLE ARE EATING WRONG
“You can spend hundreds on the best organic ingredients, thousands on supplements, powders & biohacks while throwing away the most nutritious part of your food every single day.
The irony?
Many of the biggest nutritional upgrades cost absolutely nothing.
Eating the kiwi skin.
Using the pineapple core.
Keeping the egg yolk.
Waiting 10 min after chopping garlic.
Cooling and reheating potatoes or rice.
Scraping the avocado close to the skin.
Tiny changes.
Massive difference over time.”
