Rethinking Nutrition: The Limits of Supplements

Experts emphasize the importance of a balanced diet over reliance on vitamin pills. Prof. Hans Hauner advocates for regional and seasonal foods, which tend to be better tolerated and more nutritious.

He advises controlling portion sizes and suggests packing leftovers from canteens, as this practice has become common. Misleading light products should be avoided in favor of whole foods rich in fiber, such as soups and stews.

A diet lower in meat, salt, and sugar can help prevent lifestyle diseases like cancer and diabetes. Such dietary choices not only promote overall health but also support cardiovascular wellness and lower blood pressure.
