Find out what the main myths are about healthy eating, such as consuming carbohydrates and milk
April 1st is known around the world as April Fools’ Day and, despite the joke, there are indeed many myths about healthy eating and certain types of foods, with miracle diets and misleading news about certain food groups.
To the CidadeVerde.com websitenutritionist Adriana Zanardo told the main myths about food, take a look:
1 – Are carbohydrates the enemies of our diet?
One of the biggest myths is that carbohydrates are bad for you in your diet. They are in fact essential energy nutrients for the body and, without them, numerous metabolic disorders can occur.
2 – Is milk bad for you?
Another food myth: milk is not bad for your health. What happens is that the product currently found in supermarkets contains a multitude of artificial preservative components and excessive consumption can be harmful.
3 – Is there any food that helps you lose weight?
No food alone can help you lose weight. The combination of foods and daily choices are what make people achieve the desired result.
4 – Is gluten bad for your health?
Despite being considered one of the bad things for health, gluten should only be excluded from the diet of people with gastrointestinal intolerances and diagnosed with celiac disease. For people who tolerate its consumption well, it should not be left aside.
5 – Are all fats bad?
Not all fats are bad for the body. Unsaturated fats (poly and mono) found in seeds such as flaxseeds, as well as in fruits and olive oil are essential for balance and regulation of the body.
