We know that processed foods are bad for us, although they may be tasty. Many processed foods, like potato chips, have a high content of both saturated fat and carbohydrates.

Eggs do not have, in general, a good reputation on account of its richness in cholesterol. But we should not so fast denigrate this food that Mother Nature has endowed with many other nutritional qualities. It is true that a high level of cholesterol in blood increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.

TIP OF THE DAY from our Nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: People often compare their weight and shape with those around them, concerned about their weight being too high or too low, but a healthy weight is not the same for each individual.
