• Consuming highly processed foods can have disadvantages, such as impacting energy levels and nutrient intake, and it's crucial to prioritize whole foods and nutrient-dense options.

• Online nutrition information can contribute to health anxieties and misinformation, and it's important to critically evaluate sources and seek evidence-based guidance from qualified professionals.

• Navigating nutrition information online can be challenging due to conflicting advice and unregulated sources.

• Understanding head, heart, and stomach hunger can help in making mindful food choices.

• Fasting may have different implications for women, and individual context should be considered.

• The power of food for skin health lies in nourishment and what is added to the diet.
