Nutrition plays a huge role in how you feel, and understanding key nutrition facts will help you get a better idea of what to put in your body because when you know what kinds of food make you feel the best, you'll want to eat healthy. Not to mention the fact that a healthier body and more-alert mind will improve the other areas of your life too.

Whether you never really learned about nutrition or you want to brush up on all things healthy, we've got you covered with this guide to understanding nutrition as it relates to you. Keep reading for the nutrition facts you missed in health class, plus everything you need to know about gut health, probiotics, and why you keep feeling hungry, even after you've eaten.


What Is Nutrition?

Nutrition is your body's process of using the food you consume to maintain your health. When your food has the nutrients that your body needs, you're able to have energy and repair tissues. Healthy food improves every area of your body (your teeth, hair, skin, heart) but it can also help you think more clearly and improve your attention span. And when you feel better and think better, you'll be able to live better too.

Is Nutrition Different For Each Body Type?

The short answer is yes, nutrition is different for everyone based on their body types. Different bodies will require different levels of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients based on health conditions, exercise, or dietary restrictions. It can also change over time! If you're thinking about making a change to your nutrition, make sure to speak with a doctor or nutritionist so that you're still getting the nutrients that your body needs.

What Are The Best Foods To Pair Together?

Pair foods from different groups to maximize the nutrition you consume in one meal. When making a plate of food, try and add a fruit, vegetable, grain, protein, and dairy product so that you're consuming different vitamins and minerals.

Another good rule of thumb is to make your plate as colorful as possible instead of always eating foods that are the same colors. Since different shades represent the different nutrients and vitamins in the food, a colorful meal means you're getting a variety of health benefits.

Do We Actually Need Carbs?

Yes, we do need carbs! But that means more than just bread and pasta. Fruits, veggies, and dairy products all have carbs, and the fact that there are so many sources is good because when your body breaks down carbohydrates, they turn into the energy that your body uses up.

What Does Counting Macros Mean?

Counting macros means that you're tracking the macronutrients you consume (protein, carbs, and fat). When you keep track of them, you focus on getting the right balance to meet your fitness goals. Again, if you're thinking about changing up your eating habits, consult a pro!

What Are The 5 Basic Nutrients?

Basic nutrients include proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water, all of which are important for different reasons. Proteins help with your body tissues' growth and maintenance, while carbs provide your body with energy and your brain with fuel. Fats help your body absorb vitamins, which help with growth and development, minerals can help with your body's muscle contraction, and water is important for just about everything that your body does.

How Can I Start Eating Healthy?

Eating healthy is definitely a big part of maintaining a healthy nutrition, and that starts with your meal planning and your snacks. One of our favorite tricks is to use the 4-3-2 Rule while we grocery shop so that we know our fridge has fruits and veggies throughout the week. And instead of waiting to cut up your veg when you're hungry, cut and prep them at the beginning of your work week so that you have snacks at-the-ready to eat whenever you want.

Our other favorite hack is grocery shopping on a full stomach — it helps us stick to our list and focus on what we actually want to get instead of grabbing everything we see on the shelves.

Why Am I Always Hungry?

Image via Katerina Holmes/Pexels

If you're always eating snacks that aren't filling (a handful of potato chips on their own won't cut it!) or you aren't eating the right kinds of meals, there's a chance you're always hungry. Not only can a balanced, consistent diet help the way that your body functions, but it can also help you feel less hungry throughout the day because you're giving your body what it actually needs.

It's also important to learn to listen to your body's cues so that you know what your body is craving. Eating smaller meals and snacks throughout the day can prevent that cycle of eating a huge meal that fills your stomach, and then feeling famished a few hours later. Check out our piece on Intuitive Eating to learn more.

What Is Gut Health?

Your gut includes your stomach and your intestines, and its job is to break down food for its nutrients and vitamins. Gut health can also strengthen your immune system and reduce any inflammation in your body.

How To Improve Gut Health?

Image via Jane Trang Doan/Pexels

Beyond eating a balanced and nutritious diet with plenty of fruits and veggies, probiotic foods like yogurt and sauerkraut can help your gut produce the good bacteria it needs to stay balanced. More sleep and less stress can also improve your gut health.

What Are Probiotics?

Image via Alicia Harper/Pexels

Probiotics are bacteria that help your gut stay healthy by balancing bacteria and improving both digestion and nutrient absorption. They can also help reduce the risk of diabetes and obesity, and reduce the symptoms of conditions like IBS.

What Is A Food Sensitivity Test?

Image via cottonbro studio/Pexels

A food sensitivity test is a tool that identifies reactions that your body has to certain foods to diagnose whether you have an intolerance or sensitivity to them. It usually uses a blood sample to measure your response to proteins.

Do Probiotics Help Acne?

Image via Brit + Co

Probiotics can be beneficial for people who have acne since it can reduce inflammation, which is something that can make your acne worse.

Do Probiotics Stop Diarrhea?

They might not be able to entirely stop diarrhea totally, but probiotics can help calm it by restoring balance to the bacteria that's found in your gut.

Do Probiotics Help With Infections?

Image via Andrea Piacquadio/Pexels

Probiotics can help with certain infections by fighting off the bad bacteria in an infection with good bacteria.

Do Probiotics Cause Bloating?

Image via cottonbro studio/Pexels

Since it reduces inflammation, probiotics can actually help bloating instead of irritate it.

Max's Newest Rom-Com Is Basically 'When Harry Met Sally'

The holidays are about spending time with your loved ones and eating a ton of good food. And apparently it's also time for breakups. In Max's new movie, Kiernan Shipka and Nico Hiraga play two best friends trying to navigate friendship, relationships, and adulthood during their first year at college. When they make a pact to break up with their significant others, they wind up having one of the most chaotic nights of their lives on Drunksgiving (when people party the Wednesday before Thanksgiving). We don't get many Thanksgiving-themed movies, and I'll take every one we can get!

Here's everything you need to know about Sweethearts, including our interviews with Kiernan Shipka, Nico Hiraga, Caleb Hearon, and Jordan Weiss!

Our Interviews With 'Sweethearts' Stars Kiernan Shipka, Nico Hiraga, & Caleb Hearon And Writer Jordan Weiss

Sweethearts might be the ultimate cozy holiday season watch, but its cast and crew can't stop gushing about cozy classics like When Harry Met Sally and Harry Potter. ("Oh, my childhood," Kiernan Shipka says with a nostalgic edge to her voice. "All the meals, the dining hall." This, too, is what I envy the most about the Hogwarts lifestyle).

Writer-director Jordan Wiess declares herself a When Harry Met Sally superfan and says the movie "always makes me feel [good]. The sweaters and the style, and it always reminds me of the fall...ObviouslyThe Holiday is one of my favorite Nancy Meyers movies that always have to watch in December. And then a re-watch of Gilmore Girls is mandatory for the fall."

What do all of these titles have in common? Memorable relationships and oh-so-cozy backdrops. And in Sweethearts (on Max November 28), two best friends decide to break up with their high school sweethearts over Thanksgiving break, and wind up running into all their old friends during their mission. So, naturally, I have to ask for their best advice for returning home for the holidays!

"I've told people that I've had childhood crushes on that I didn't tell at the time, 'By the way, I had a huge crush on you,'" Kiernan says. "It's so fun to say the thing you've never maybe said to someone that you've always wanted to. I mean, that's fun to me. I would say maybe do that if you can find an old crush that you never expressed your feelings to. Even if it's just for the fun of it."

"I like going back and doing a lot of the old things I grew up doing with the old friends that left the Bay or stayed in the Bay," Nico Hiraga adds. "That's special when you go back and just treat it like no time went by at all, you know, do the same old traditions."

But for Caleb Hearon, it's out with the old and in with the new. "Going and seeing a bunch of people you haven't seen in a while I think, try on something new," he says. "Bring up a new music you're listening to, wear a bold shirt. Just try on something new when you're coming home from college. I remember going back to my small town from college and I was trying out new clothes. I was trying out new phrases. I was testing things out, seeing what people liked and didn't like. They don't know who you are now!"

Clearly, heightened emotions around going back to your hometown is a universal experience, and for Jordan and co-writer Dan Brier, it was important that the storyline fit right in with those classics we all know so well.

"Dan and I had a lot of conversations where we're like, 'Ok, what if you gave Superbad or Booksmart the male-female friendship When Harry Met Sally treatment — but in the shape of one of those raucous buddy comedy night-where-everything-goes-wrong type of movies."

They also pulled from John Hughes titles like Ferris Bueller's Day Off, "where an adventure is unfolding in a really limited span of time. And the characters are having a pretty complete emotional arc happen through this one crazy day or one crazy night."

Sweethearts is full of crazy moments, from house parties to college roommate horror stories, and the chemistry in those scenes is just a reflection of how close the cast and crew got on set, which Jordan equates to being at summer camp. Caleb remembers "laughing so hard that we had to muffle it so you don't ruin sound."

"I really hope people have truly half as much fun watching this movie as we had making it because we had the goofiest happiest set," Jordan adds. "Shout out to Nico who was definitely our onset DJ who had a wireless speaker with him on his cast chair at all times. So the second we would call cut, he was grabbing the speaker, blasting the tunes. I have so many funny videos of Kieran and Nico just dancing it out in the middle of the night because we were shooting mostly all throughout the nights and you gotta find creative ways to keep the energy up at four in the morning."

"One of my favorite parts in the movie is when Ava DeMary (Claire) sings the national anthem and it's only in there for about 15 seconds," she continues. "We need to release the full four-minute performance because it got so unhinged, and also just all of Caleb's faces that he was making at her when she was singing. I have to find out if we are going to cut a blooper reel."

Considering how close the cast got, and Kiernan's track record for starting cast group chats (she's gone viral multiple times for revealing she texts her friends and costars good morning), I'm not surprised to learn she started a Sweethearts cast chat. I am surprised, however, to learn she started at least four!

"It's that thing where we have so many people," she says. "There's like one hero, bigger group chat that I think is like eight people. And I think it's called Via Carrot because it was a play on Via Carota [and] someone was like, 'Oh, I'm gonna get there via carrot.'"

"But then it's that thing of like it's me, Caleb, Me, [Nico], Jordan, and Dan," she continues. "But we all have one group chat where like one person is there or we have a smaller one. So we maybe have five others, and there's just the three of us called Friends Are Life...There's a lot going on. I'm gonna accidentally text the wrong one."

CBS/ABC/Apple TV+

A Charlie Brown Christmas — On Apple TV+

If you don't have time for a full feature film, opt for this animated special instead.

This cartoon is so cute, and it's the perfect length for when you need a quick mealtime watch!

Columbia Pictures

Little Women — On Paramount+

Columbia Pictures

The Holiday — on Prime Video

This classic Christmas movie (which stars Jude Law, Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, and Jack Black) has everything you could dream of: a house swap to a dreamy location and a run-in with handsome strangers. Say no more.

Warner Bros.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation — On Max

Clark Griswold is determined to give his family the best Christmas vacation ever. Unfortunately, it's totally on brand for the entire holiday to become a giant disaster.

RKO Pictures

It's a Wonderful Life — On Roku

The first classic Christmas movie on our list is one that my dad tried to get me to watch for years. I finally watched it and I cried almost the entire time. It's A Wonderful Life follows George Bailey, who's taken to an alternate reality where he never existed and realizes just how much he as to live for. This movie will definitely make you appreciate the people you love.

Legacy Releasing

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer — Rent On Amazon Prime

Stop motion holiday movies were my entire childhood, and this one is a super cute addition to any family gathering. It expands on the iconic reindeer's story and features romance, danger, friendship, and even themes of identity and belonging. Go Rudolph!

Universal Pictures

Love Actually — on Prime Video

Any rom-com fan will want to tune into this classic, which tells the story of multiple lovestruck (or heartbroken) characters and will make you feel totally seen.

Columbia Pictures/Sony Pictures

Christmas With The Kranks — On Prime Video

Luther and Nora have decided to all but cancel Christmas with their daughter in Peru. But when she comes home at the last minute, they must figure out how to have a spontaneous celebration.

Warner Bros.

The Polar Express — on Max

If you ask me, it's not a proper holiday without watching this iconic animated movie. Tom Hanks voices both the train conductor leading children to the North Pole and the little boy who isn't sure he even believes in Santa.

20th Century Studios

Home Alone — On Disney+

If you prefer a hilarious Christmas movie, then Home Alone is exactly what you need. 8-year-old Kevin McCallister is left behind when his family goes on their holiday vacation. As fun as it sounds, he starts to get tired of being ~home alone~ pretty quickly — especially when two burglars decide to target the house.

Disney

Eloise At Christmastime — on Prime Video

Speaking of spunky children, take a trip around the Plaza Hotel with Eloise, who basically rules the roost. With Gavin Creel as the lovable Bill and Christine Baranski as Prunella, this is one classic Christmas movie you'll want to watch even when you're not a kid anymore.

Disney

A Muppet Christmas Carol — On Disney+

By this point, A Muppet Christmas Carol is a classic Christmas movie that you'll remember for years to come. Every iteration puts a new spin on the tale, but this version is definitely Gen Z's favorite. The movie follows Ebenezer Scrooge, a stingy bachelor whose life is changed when the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future visit him on Christmas Eve.

New Line Cinema/Warner Bros.

Elf — On Hulu

Even though this movie takes place in a post-Y2K world, it is absolutely a classic Christmas movie at this point! Buddy has spent his whole life thinking he's an elf, but when he learns he's a human — and that his dad is living in New York City — he goes on an adventure to find the family he never met. If anything will spark a lifelong love of narwhals, it'll be this movie. This is also a fun movie to watch after Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer because it's supposed to be the same world!

MGM Studios

A Christmas Story — on Max

If you watched Elf and thought that Ming Ming the elf looked familiar, it's because he's played by Peter Billingsley from A Christmas Story! In this holiday classic, Ralphie does what every kid does the closer we get to Christmas: begs his parents for his dream gift, a Red Ryder BB gun.

Touchstone Pictures

The Nightmare Before Christmas — on Disney+

Pumpkin king Jack Skellington is in for a surprise when he finds Christmastown...and decides to kidnap Santa and take on the mantle of the jolly old elf. Tim Burton's musical delight is perfect for anyone who considers themself just a little bit more of a Halloween person (we get it!)

20th Century Studios

Miracle on 34th Street — On Disney+

There are two versions of this classic Christmas movie you can add to your watchlist: the 1947 black and white film, or the 1994 version starring Matilda's Mara Wilson. The story follows an independent single mother, a man on a quest to prove he's Santa Claus, and a little girl looking for something to believe in. I cannot recommend it enough, for real.

Paramount Pictures

White Christmas — On Prime Video

This movie is my family's non-negotiable yearly watch, and TBH, everyone needs to see it! White Christmas is a musical that follows Bob and Phil who team up with sister act Betty and Judy to save an old friend's failing Vermont inn. For even more of a recommendation, my family genuinely and spontaneously breaks into any song from this movie as soon as the holiday season stars.

MGM/Warner Bros/CBS

How the Grinch Stole Christmas! — On Peacock

This classic Christmas movie (which I prefer to the Jim Carrey version, but you do you, boo) follows the titular Grinch, who decides to ruin Christmas by stealing presents, decor, and food from the Whos in Whoville. This heartwarming story really serves as a reminder that Christmas — and life — is more than material objects.

How The Grinch Stole Christmas — Rent On Amazon Prime

In this spin on the aforementioned cartoon, Jim Carrey plays the Grinch, who hates Christmas and can't stand the Whos of Whoville. This is a full feature film so they've added some extra plotlines the original doesn't have, but TBH, it just makes it more memorable.

CBS

Frosty The Snowman — on Hulu

Another classic Christmas movie that kids of all ages will love! When Frosty comes to life and befriends some local children, they have to team up to prevent him from melting.

Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

The Santa Clause — On Disney+

Tim Allen stars as Scott Calvin, who must step into the red, cookie-loving shoes of Santa Claus when he accidentally causes the previous Santa to fall off his roof. After decades of Santa stories, I always loved how original this one is!!

ABC/Disney

The Year Without a Santa Claus — Rent on Apple TV+

"I'm Mister White Christmas, I'm Mister Snow!" Whether you've been singing this song since the special aired in 1974, or you've seen all the TikToks, it's a better time than ever to rewatch the story of the elves trying to convince Santa to carry out his annual trek.
