Debunking Common Nutrition Myths
Nutrition myths are a dime a dozen and exist everywhere: social media, mainstream media, or simply conversation. Some of these myths might come off as reasonable; however, in reality, they are the opposite. This section aims to debunk some of the most discussed myths along with reliable evidence.
Carbs Are Bad for You
It is universally understood that people should minimize the amount of carbohydrates in their diets. Unfortunately, this myth has been greatly exaggerated. The issue is not simply “bad” carbs, but a set of two groups. While candy and soda are simple carbs which will make your blood sugar level soar, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables provide complex carbs which not only give power but also essential nutrients. It is not a must to eliminate carbs completely, it is rather recommended to change the standard applied to them.
Fat Makes You Fat
Fats have not always had the best reputation; however, holistic research showed that healthy fats like those in avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil aid in brain health, hormone production, and overall wellness. What causes weight gain is not fat, but excess calories and poor diets.
You Should Eat Sixth Small Meals A Day
Eating smaller, frequent, meals throughout the day may help some people, but it is certainly not a silver bullet in underweight and overweight cases. The most important thing is that people consume nutritious unprocessed foods, and how many meals they choose to divide the calories into is up to them.
At TimesHealthMag Nutrition, we separate fiction from fact to make the path towards better health easier for everyone.
Expert Advice on Balanced Eating
Balanced eating does not need to be complicated, as is the case for many trendy diets. Here is a simple so-called blueprint that an expert recommends, which can be used to create meals that are nutritious for a whole day’s work.
1. Begin With Whole Foods
Unlike whole foods, processed ones contain a lot of additives and nutrition. So concentrate on building your meals around whole or almost whole foods like raw vegetables, wholegrain cereals, water-based fowl, and oils with unsaturated fats.
2. Utilize the Plate Method
Split your plate into three balanced sections:
- One half is filled with vegetables and fruits for their vitamins and fiber.
- One quarter contains a serving of lean protein, such as chicken, tofu, or beans.
- The other quarter contains whole grains like brown rice or quinoa.
3. Remember to Hydrate
Sugar-infused beverages can undermine your efforts. Water, herbal teas, or infused water can help you stay hydrated a lot better as they add no unnecessary calories.
4. Always Eat Breakfast
Much like dinner, a well Crafted breakfast sets the tone for your day. Go for protein, fiber, and healthy fats, like oatmeal with nuts and berries, or a veggie and cheese filled omelet.
5. Do Be Mindful of Servings
Should you serve yourself too much of healthy foods, it is very much possible to overeat. Skeptial about staving off hunger for too long? Do avoid mindless munching through portion control.
Balanced eating is not so much a feat of perfection as it is about making conscious efforts on a daily basis.
The Role of Supplements
Should someone require supplements for their health? Most people would say that the bedrock of nutrition is a diet, but in certain unjustifiable circumstances perhaps one would consider deciding to fill gaps with supplements.
Where Supplements Are Needful
Supplements can be crucial to your health if, for instance:
• You have a restrictive diet (i.e. Vegan/ Vegetarian) and therefore require nutrients like vitamin B12 or iron.
• Live in locations that receive little to no sunlight, making it more vital to obtain vitamin D.
• Are in the process of pregnancy or lactation as these phases have a higher nutrient demand.
• Have had deficiency diagnoses verified with blood work.
Choose Wisely
Supplements can differ greatly from eachother. Check for well-known brands that have carry third party verification for purity and effectiveness. Also keep in mind, supplements are not meant to replace healthy meals, but rather add to them when necessary.
At TimesHealthMag Nutrition, we promote informed choices, and we always suggest speaking to a medical professional before starting a new supplement.
