Don’t Eat This Way! Smart Food Habits for Better Health!

Did you know that how you eat certain foods can be just as important as what you eat? Even healthy foods can become problematic if consumed the wrong way!

Foods: Eating the Wrong Way!

1. Corn
Wrong Way: Eating processed corn products like high-fructose corn syrup, fried corn chips, or canned corn with additives.
Right Way: Eat fresh, whole corn.
Why: Processed corn loses nutrients and adds unhealthy sugars/fats. Fresh corn provides fiber and antioxidants.

2. Honey
Wrong Way: Adding to hot tea or boiling liquids.
Right Way: Add to warm (not boiling) tea or after tea has cooled slightly.
Why: High heat can destroy beneficial enzymes and nutrients in raw honey, diminishing its health properties.

3. Cucumber
Wrong Way: Eating large amounts at night.
Right Way: Enjoy during the day, especially in the morning or afternoon.
Why: Cucumbers are cooling and diuretic. Eating them at night might lead to frequent urination or discomfort for some.

4. Watermelon
Wrong Way: Eating large amounts at night.
Right Way: Consume during the day.
Why: High water and natural sugar content can lead to nighttime urination or elevated blood sugar before sleep.
