We are talking about white lies, the ones that mom, dad or grandma used to tell us whenever it came to food. Inadvertently they introduced us to some untrue "theories" that we have applied point by point!
Vegetable oils are healthy
How many times have you heard of fish oil doing wonders? It's not true. Previous studies have shown that unsaturated fats reduce the risk of heart disease, but it is important to understand that there are several types of unsaturated (good) fats, mainly omega-3 and omega-6. If you want to lower your risk of heart disease, consume omega-3s, but avoid seeds and vegetable oils. This does not apply to coconut or olive oil, which have low levels of omega-6 and are extremely healthy.
It does not do you any good to eat too many eggs
Preferably just one! Many people (including us) are afraid to eat eggs because you can be poisoned and secondly, they have high cholesterol levels and this can increase the risks of heart disease. Despite the high level of cholesterol, eggs do not increase the level of bad cholesterol in the blood. In fact eggs increase the level of good cholesterol, which reduces the risk of heart disease. Eggs are an excellent food, they are rich in protein, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and unique antioxidants, properties that few foods have. You can eat three eggs a day and you will be in for a miracle. There is no evidence that more than three eggs can harm you, but this has not yet been proven.
Meat does not do you any good
The real danger comes from processed meat lying on supermarket shelves and refrigerators, which can increase the chances of death, but red meat poses no risk. According to experts, it is very normal to eat red meat once a week, not processed, as it is rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and full of healthy proteins and fats that will do our health a favor.
All calories are the same
Njerëzit mendojnë se për të rënë në peshë, duhet thjesht të hanë një sasi të caktuar kalorish, pak rëndësi ka çfarë ushqimesh. Por kjo nuk është e vërtetë. Ajo që hani është më e rëndësishme se numri i kalorive që konsumoni. Duke ngrënë proteina do keni më pak oreks krahasuar me nëse hani yndyrna dhe karbohidrate. Përqëndrohuni tek ushqime si patatet, bifteku, vezët, bizelet dhe frutat, dhe shmangni ëmbëlsirat dhe tortat, sigurisht.
Nëse hani yndyrna, do shëndosheni
Në 1970-n u tha se yndyrnat të shëndoshin dhe raftet në supermarkete u mbushën me produkte me pak ose pa yndyrë. Megjithatë kjo nuk do të thotë se duhet të filloni të hani ushqime me yndyrë. Çfarë është më e mira për ju?
Peshq me yndyrë – Mos lejoni nivelin e lartë të kalorive t’ju mashtrojë. Salmoni është u pasur me acide yndyrore omega-3.
