There are so many health and nutrition tips online that it’s often very hard to find reliable sources of information on nutrition. Avoiding common nutrition myths is probably even harder, so here are three popular myths you should definitely forget.
All Smoothies and Juices are Healthy
Even though certain juices and smoothies are healthy and nutritious, most of those that you can buy at stores are packed with sugar and calories, so it may be best to avoid drinking them often.
You Shouldn’t Skip Breakfast
We’ve all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day thousands of times, but this is not entirely true. Studies have shown that whether we eat or skip breakfast is not necessarily linked to weight loss and other health issues, so it’s really a matter of personal preference.
Fats are Unhealthy
Many people follow low-fat diets believing that all fats are bad for our health and that avoiding them is good for our body and can promote weight loss. The truth is that our body needs fat for energy and there are so-called “healthy fats” that can actually improve heart health. You can find them in foods like salmon, most nuts, avocados, olives, and more.
