The media is always full of advice about nutrition. However, this has led to many nutrition myths that people today often just take for granted and that modern science shows not to be true. Here are some of the major nutrition myths that need debunking.
High-Fat Foods Are Always Unhealthy
For years we have been told that if you want to eat a healthy diet, stay away from high-fat foods. However, modern science is telling us that this is not the case. There are actually many health benefits associated with a high-fat diet, while heart disease and other health risks are associated with low-fat diets. Of course, this doesn’t mean you should be eating fast food all the time. But nutritious meals that are high in fat are very healthy.
Breakfast is the Most Important Meal of the Day
We’ve heard it many times: breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However, dieticians are now saying that this is not always the case. While a morning breakfast can benefit some, others would benefit from intermittent fasting.
Potatoes Are Unhealthy
Diet programs often advise against eating white potatoes because they are high in calories. However, they’re also packed with quality nutrition such as fiber, potassium, and Vitamin C.
