Decoding Nutrition Labels

Nutrition labels provide essential information about the food we consume. Here’s how to read them effectively:

• Serving size: Pay attention to the serving size to understand the nutritional content.
• Calories: Check the calorie count to manage your energy intake.
• Nutrients: Look for key nutrients like fiber, protein, and sugars.
• Ingredients list: The ingredients are listed in order of quantity, so the first few ingredients are the most significant.

Understanding nutrition labels can empower you to make healthier food choices.
