Nutritionist Makhija mentions how many often avoid healthy foods such as tofu, lentils, milk, whole grains, meat, and so on. All these food groups provide us with a variety of nutrients and benefits and must not be avoided completely. In fact, one must incorporate a healthy amount of all these foods and consume a well-balanced diet.

Lack of even of one these food groups can hinder our consumption of necessary nutrients. While it is not encouraged to completely give up a food group, Nutritionist Makhija suggests it's better to form a diet that works well for you and keeps you full as well as healthy. Don't boycott healthy foods just because they are discouraged in certain diets or to certain people.
