Everything is different: top myths about healthy eating

“Healthy eating” is a very vague concept, into which you can fit any essence you like if you wish. Therefore, there have always been many misconceptions about how a person should eat. Let's look at the most popular of them:

Can't cook in oil

For a long period of time, it was indeed a common belief that food should only be boiled or steamed. Cooking methods involving the addition of oil were considered harmful.

In fact, fat serves as a concentrated source of energy and plays a key role in the absorption of nutrients, so a healthy diet without oil is impossible. The use of vegetable oils will bring exceptional benefits to your body, and occasional (!) consumption of animal fats is not prohibited.

Salting food is harmful

Salt is another element that is extremely necessary for the human body. This seasoning not only brightens the taste of dishes, but also promotes the normal functioning of the nervous system, and also maintains optimal water levels in the body. Adding salt to food is not prohibited. But it is important to know the limit and follow it, especially if you have heart and vascular diseases or high blood pressure.

Do not add fruit to cooked dishes

There is an opinion that fresh fruits have too much sugar. This means that when we eat a dish with fresh fruit, we unwittingly increase our blood sugar levels. Eating a number of fruits (with a pronounced sweet taste) is really undesirable for people suffering from diabetes. But it does not harm those who do not have this disease.

Fresh vegetables and fruits are healthier than canned ones

It's not like that at all. Frozen or canned (technically processed) fruits are just as nutritious as their fresh counterparts and generally taste better than fresh, out-of-season vegetables because they are picked and canned when they reach their peak flavor.

Eat deliciously and be healthy.
