Myths about healthy eating: tips that everyone should know

Many common stereotypes about a healthy lifestyle are often misleading. UAportal has refuted various misconceptions about healthy eating habits.

Juices

Instead of having a fresh fruit juice for breakfast, it is better to eat whole fruits and vegetables. This ensures that you get all the fiber from the food and prevents excessive sugar consumption.

Whole fruits and vegetables provide the body with essential nutrients and keep you feeling full for a long period of time. Therefore, eating whole foods rich in fiber is a healthy way to start the day.

Protein

The myth that "the more protein, the better" should be dispelled by including a variety of protein sources in your diet, such as vegetable proteins, as well as lean meats and fish. Diversity in dietary intake provides a wide range of essential nutrients and reduces the risk of consuming excess saturated fat.

Low-fat foods

Some low-calorie foods may contain higher amounts of sugar or artificial additives to compensate for the lack of fat. It's better to focus on eating whole, unprocessed foods and including healthy fats such as avocados and nuts in your diet. This will provide the body with the necessary nutrients and support a naturally balanced and nutritious diet.
