Nutritionists and dieticians around the world are breaking myths associated with food items. What was earlier believed to be unhealthy and indulgence have come to be recognized as healthy and essential to the human body. The deeper research and trends over years have brought to limelight certain facts that we should learn and spread.

We would like to bring to your notice certain food types and the resultant health imperatives,

Nuts

• Myth– They make me put on the excess kilos

Potatoes
