Questions & Answers about อาหาร　ไทย　อร่อย　อีกทั้ง　ยัง　มี　ประโยชน์

I usually use และ (and) to connect clauses. What nuance does อีกทั้ง add here?
อีกทั้ง translates to "moreover," "furthermore," or "in addition." It is more formal and emphatic than simply using และ (and). You will often see it in written Thai, articles, or formal speech to strongly highlight an additional, positive point.
Why is ยัง used after อีกทั้ง? Doesn't it normally mean "still"?
While ยัง often means "still" or "not yet," here it pairs up with อีกทั้ง to form the common pattern อีกทั้งยัง. In this context, ยัง acts like "also" to reinforce that the subject possesses this second quality right alongside the first one.
Why use มีประโยชน์ (literally "has benefit") instead of a direct translation for "healthy"?
In Thai, when talking about food being "healthy," "nutritious," or "good for you," it is most natural to say it "has benefit" (มีประโยชน์). A literal translation like สุขภาพดี (good health) is generally used to describe a person's physical state, not the food they eat.
