You may be eating “healthy” foods like broccoli, garlic, eggs, tomatoes, flaxseeds, almonds, and beans—but if you eat them the wrong way (cooking incorrectly, eating at the wrong stage, skipping key parts), you can unintentionally reduce nutrient absorption and lose some of the health benefits.

In this video, we cover 11 foods people commonly eat incorrectly and the best simple fixes so you can:
✅ Keep more vitamins and antioxidants
✅ Improve digestion and absorption
✅ Get better support for immunity, heart health, and metabolism

Note: These are general nutrition tips for educational purposes. Adjust based on your body and health needs.

11 FOODS YOU’RE EATING INCORRECTLY (AND HOW TO EAT THEM RIGHT)
1) Broccoli — Don’t boil it

Why this happens: Boiling is easy, but boiling too long can cause nutrients to leach into the water.
✅ Eat it right: Steam it (or lightly stir-fry) to help retain nutrients and overall benefits.
📌 Quick tip: 3–5 minutes of steaming often keeps it bright, crisp, and tasty.

2) Bananas — Don’t eat them too early (too green)

Common mistake: eating bananas when they’re very unripe/green.
✅ Eat it right: choose riper bananas, which are generally easier to digest and may contain more helpful antioxidants.
📌 Quick tip: yellow bananas with a few brown spots are a great choice.

3) Spinach — Don’t mix it with dairy

Common mistake: spinach + milk smoothies.
✅ Eat it right: limit pairing spinach with dairy because calcium may reduce iron absorption from spinach.
📌 Better alternatives: blend spinach with water or plant milk, or eat it in savory meals.

4) Eggs — Eat the yolk

Common mistake: only eating egg whites.
✅ Eat it right: the yolk contains most of the egg’s vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats.
📌 Quick tip: choose cooking methods like boiling or low-oil cooking to keep it healthier.

5) Garlic — Don’t cook immediately

Common mistake: chopping garlic and cooking it right away.
✅ Eat it right: crush/chop garlic and let it sit for 10 minutes before cooking to help activate allicin (a powerful compound).
📌 Quick tip: prep garlic first, then chop other ingredients—by the time you cook, it’s ready.

6) Tomatoes — Don’t eat them only raw

Common mistake: eating tomatoes only in salads.
✅ Eat it right: cooked tomatoes can release more lycopene, a strong antioxidant linked to heart and overall health.
📌 Quick tip: include both raw (salads) and cooked (sauces/soups) tomatoes.

7) Flaxseeds — Don’t eat them whole

Common mistake: sprinkling whole flaxseeds and swallowing them whole.
✅ Eat it right: grind them to help your body absorb more omega-3s and fiber.
📌 Quick tip: grind small batches so they stay fresh.

8) Carrots — Don’t peel them

Common mistake: peeling carrots by default.
✅ Eat it right: many antioxidants are concentrated near the skin, so wash well and eat with the skin on (if the source is safe).
📌 Quick tip: scrub with a vegetable brush under running water.

9) Almonds — Don’t eat them raw right away

Common mistake: eating almonds straight from the bag.
✅ Eat it right: soak overnight to support easier digestion and improve nutrient availability.
📌 Quick tip: soak 6–8 hours, rinse, then eat or add to oats.

10) Lemons — Don’t throw away the peel

Common mistake: using only the juice and discarding the peel.
✅ Eat it right: lemon peel contains beneficial compounds and vitamins—use zest when the lemon is clean and safe.
📌 Quick tip: zest only the thin yellow layer (avoid the white pith, which can be bitter).

11) Beans — Don’t skip soaking

Common mistake: cooking beans without soaking to save time.
✅ Eat it right: soak before cooking to help reduce anti-nutrients and support easier digestion and absorption.
📌 Quick tip: soak 8–12 hours depending on the type, then replace water before cooking.
