With
obesity being the major health issue today, people all around the world are
looking for help with it. And there is no scarcity of advice, tips, and
recommendations from the experts on the internet. Naturally, we are exposed to
several myths related to food and our health. Let’s get around cracking down on
some food myths that have been around for a while.
All
over the web, there are many myths and misconceptions regarding our food
habits. What should we eat? How should we eat? When and how much should we eat?
Busting The Food Myths
Myth I: Who Says Alcohol Is Good For Health?
Let’s
start with some drinks. You may rationalize your drinking habits by saying that
a moderate amount of wine or vodka is good for the heart. How can you be so
sure? You are just falling for their marketing campaigns. Alcohol is as harmful
as tobacco.
Myth II: Avoid Fats To Lose Your Fats
If
you have been avoiding fat from your diet, you may be falling for another myth.
Good fat is beneficial when it comes to weight loss. Just make sure you go for
healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, and salmon. Fats cut down fats.
Myth III: Egg Yolk Are Rich In Cholesterol
No,
it’s not. If you are throwing away those yellow parts of the egg, you are
missing out a lot on nutrition. In fact, the yolks are rich in protein and
nutrition that keeps you satiated for longer hours so you don’t feel hungry.
Myth IV: No Meal After 7 In The Evening
The
popular belief is that you will gain weight if you have a meal after 7 pm because
your body won’t get time to burn the extra calories. It depends on what you eat
and how much you eat.
Myth V: Red Meat Is Unhealthy
Red
meat is way richer in protein than white meat. Even though red meat is linked
to heart problems, again, it depends on the quality and quantity of the meat
you are having.
Besides,
don’t avoid carbs from your meal. In fact, carbs like rice help you to have
good sleep and keeps your stress level in check.
The
main idea is to be aware of your lifestyle. If you aren’t exercising at all,
even the best healthy diet will have no luck on you. So get off that couch and
run some miles now you have busted some food myths.
