Health Tip: Five Exercise and Nutrition Myths
By LadyLively on November 28, 2019
Figuring out which nutrition and exercise information is trustworthy may be difficult, says the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
The agency debunks these common misconceptions:
- Bread, pasta and rice are not necessarily fattening. Try to eat whole grains to feel fuller.
- You do not have to avoid all fats if you’re trying to lose weight. Go for foods with healthy fats, such as avocados and nuts.
- Dairy products may not be unhealthy. Adults should have three servings a day of low-fat dairy products.
- Physical activity does not have to be for long periods. You can perform short spurts of activity during the week.
- Lifting weights will not always make you look “too bulky.” Only intense strength training will build large muscles.
