9 Pieces of Healthy Eating Advice Everyone Should Hear, According to Dietitians

Summary: Healthy eating can be super confusing, especially with all the crazy claims on social media. Dietitians recently cleared up some of the biggest food myths to help you make smart choices.

First, collagen supplements (specifically collagen peptides) actually do help your skin and joints as you age, but your body needs Vitamin C to process them. Second, don't be fooled by "natural flavors" on packaging. They are made in labs just like artificial flavors, and both are completely safe.

Also, while plant-based meats are great for cutting cholesterol, they can be highly processed and packed with salt, so whole foods like beans are better. Finally, if you need better sleep, magnesium glycinate is a great supplement to try. For workouts, grab some carbs and a little protein about 30 minutes before you sweat!
