About this episode

This episode tackles nutrition myths including blood type diets, plant proteins, and the benefits of colorful fruits and vegetables.

Can your blood type tell you what to eat? Are plant proteins really "incomplete"? And does eating more colourful fruit and veg actually make a difference? This week we're tackling some of the biggest nutrition myths doing the rounds online. From the return of the blood type diet to the truth about complete proteins, fibre sodas and ground flaxseed, we separate the evidence from the hype. We also explain why herbs deserve far more credit, whether smelly digestion is normal, and why simply adding more colour to your plate could benefit your health.  For your 30-day free trial of The Way: https://www.thewayapp.com/wellnessscoop Send your questions for our weekly Q&A to ⁠⁠hello@wellness-scoop.com⁠⁠ For more from Rhi and Ella:  Order your copy of Ella's new book: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quick Wins: Healthy Cooking for Busy Lives⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Order your copy of Rhi's new book: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Fibre Formula⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Sign up to ⁠Rhitrition+⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
