NUTRITIONAL MISTAKES HEALTHY EATERS DO -BY MISHKWAATH

I am Mishkwaath a nutritionist at The Kenko Life.

Eating healthy is a great goal but even the most health-conscious individuals can make nutritional mistakes without realizing it. From overdoing healthy snacks to cutting out important nutrients, these missteps can impact energy, digestion, and overall wellness. Here are some common mistakes healthy eaters often make and how to fix them.

1. Overeating Healthy Foods: Nuts, avocados, and whole grains are nutritious, but high in calories. Too much of a good thing can still lead to weight gain. Fix: Watch portion sizes and aim for balance.

2. Too Many Smoothies or Juices: These can be high in sugar and low in fiber. Fix: Use whole fruits, add protein or fiber, and limit juice.

3. Cutting Out Entire Food Groups: Avoiding carbs or dairy without a medical reason can lead to nutrient deficiencies. Fix: Include a variety of foods unless medically necessary.

4. Not Enough Protein: Skipping protein, especially at breakfast, can lead to fatigue and cravings. Fix: Add eggs, yogurt, legumes, or lean meats to your meals.

5. Fearing Fats: Healthy fats support brain and hormone health.Fix: Include sources like olive oil, nuts, seeds, and fish.

6. Relying on Buzzwords: “Organic” or “gluten-free” doesn’t always mean healthy. Fix: Read labels and check for added sugars and processed ingredients.

To Conclude: Even when you're eating well, small mistakes can throw off your nutrition. Focus on variety, balance, and listening to your body — not trends. With a few simple tweaks, your healthy habits can become even more effective.
