Researchers have found that the enzyme polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in certain fruits like bananas can reduce the absorption of heart-healthy flavanols, especially when combined with flavanol-rich ingredients like berries. The study suggests choosing ingredients with low PPO activity, such as pineapple or oranges, when making smoothies to optimize flavanol absorption.
Your right, it just depends on your goals. I always have myself a cheat day.
Dinner would be decently big. Like quinoa and a bunch of chicken breast.
That’s dry af. I think some people are just ok eating something that has literally no flavor. A lot of “healthy” recipes need: salt, pepper, garlic, onion, oregano, paprika, chili powder, oil, mustard, honey, etc.
Like literally sprinkle salt and pepper on the chicken, garlic and oregano if you’re feeling crazy. Stop eating plain chicken!
i think many people have this idea that healthy food somehow has to be boring and flavourless, and that if you make it in any way enjoyable it for some reason automatically becomes unhealthy.
Which is insane and a terrible idea to spread, at this point i think healthy food tastes better.
