Eat a variety of food for best nutrition, advises expert
A nutrition expert has advised people against eating the same thing over and over again, as the body will not be able to absorb enough nutrients.
Dr Adune Ratanavichitrasin, the deputy dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, said in a Facebook post on Tuesday (September 1) that eating the same food every day is not beneficial to the human body.
He said people should consume a variety of foods because not only is it less boring, but also because human beings need a variety of nutrients.
The doctor also said that consuming the same items, especially vegetables, will increase the risk of toxicity, especially from pesticide, and explained that the human body requires low amounts of salt, minerals and vitamins.
