In the quest for a healthy lifestyle there have been
solutions that people have tried to provide in order to achieve a healthy style
of living. Just as there have been solutions so have many myths come up about
what is healthy and what is not. These myths have been circulation the world
over with scientists and doctors trying to prove whether they are true or not.
The risk of heart disease increases with the consumption of
egg yolks
Eggs have always had a reputation that they are to be blamed
for the high risk of someone getting a heart attack because the cholesterol in
the yolk is quite high. The nutritionists have tried to show that this is
untrue because there is only a small amount of cholesterol that goes into the
blood stream for some individuals.
Eating after 8 p.m. causes weight gain
It does not matter what time you eat your food as long as
the quantity is right and you have not over eaten. Eating after 8 pm will have
very little significance as to how your weight will increase. Your body will
still digest its food the way it has been doing it. Though the body slows down
in the way it functions only the quantity of food that you eat will have an
effect on your gaining weight.
Milk can be responsible for your gaining weight
Though there is a percentage of saturated fats in some milk
which can increase the cholesterol levels, it is an excellent source of calcium
that is good for your healthy bone structure and teeth. There is also D Vitamin
in milk that is important for a healthy life.
High fat contents can be found in Tofu
Tofu is a food that is rich in many nutrients. It is very
enjoyable and has a lot of protein nutrients in it. Since it is made from milk
that is processed from soybean tofu has healthy iron and the food is delicious.
Tofu can be eaten everyday by those who do not eat meat because there are some
tofu that contain fatty acids known as omega three.
Bananas should not be consumed daily for having too much
sugar
Bananas eaten almost on a daily basis will not have adverse
effects even though they have a high content of sugar and potassium. Having
higher sugar levels than all the other fruits, bananas have nutritional fiber
in them and there is no cholesterol in them. The positive is also that they
have no fat whatsoever.
Stomach upsets can be caused by citrus fruits
Citrus fruits are like tangerines that are readily available
in most markets. Others include lemons and grapefruits among others. These
fruits help in getting rid of any inflammation that might be found in the
system.
Healthy foods are made from Soya
Lately there has been a lot of say in the notion that Soy
foods are a healthy food and alternative for vegetarians. Regardless of this
soy food is not a healthy alternative as the soy beans are usually processed in
order to make the soy for people to use.
When you drink Vinegar you lose weight
Vinegar does not have any characteristics that make it right
for your quest to lose weight. It is just used as an ingredient in salads, not
for losing weight. There has never been any conclusive research done to show
that drinking vinegar will help you to lose weight.
You improve your recovery by eating after a workout
When doing a work out, you tend to lose a lot of glycogen in
the body since the whole exercise was to lose weight or build muscle. As you
work out you need to replenish the lost food in your system.

you read the label carefully so that you are taking the real whole grain. Whole
grain products are beneficial to the body as they provide it with a lot of
nutrients and help reduce the chances of getting certain lifestyle diseases.
