That's exactly what herbs are - and most of us vastly underestimate them. In many kitchens, parsley, basil or thyme end up on the plate as a pretty decoration at best.

There is a widespread misconception that persists: Protein is for men, for muscles, for weight training. The implicit assumption is that women can get by with very little. But this image is not only outdated - it is actively detrimental to health. Because protein is much more than just muscle food.
