Strawberry season is upon us!

It is also a simple bowl of strawberries that makes my taste buds extremely happy!

Know What you Eat

If you have any dietary restrictions or are preparing food for someone who does, make sure to read the food labels of the products you are using. Food labels list product ingredients and specifically tell you whether a product contains allergens. This is important if someone with a food allergy might eat your food. If you would like to know more about what information you can find on food labels and food packaging and how to interpret it, check out the article [How to Read Food Labels] on Truthful Science.

Healthy Food Choices

We receive Information about food directly and indirectly. Food advertisements, portion sizes, and what we read on social media are a few examples of indirect information we receive. All this messaging can be confusing when, for instance, advertisements claim products are associate with health benefits when in truth, they are not. Portion sizes in restaurants often are much larger than they need to be, resulting in over-eating. The abundance in signals makes it challenging to make well-informed and healthy food choices.

The information given in this recipe will hopefully help you make more informed food choices. If you want to read more about healthy food choices in general, check out our article [Healthy Food Choices] and read through your country’s food guide. Most governments provide general information about recommended food intake. These recommendations are often called food guides or nutrition guides. They provide the population with recommendations based on scientific research that applies to most people. An example of a helpful guide can be found [here].

If you are worried about your health, or if you are looking to make changes to your diet, please consult a registered dietician. Information that is being offered on the internet is usually broad and, in some cases, even untrue.
