Don’t Believe these Health Myths
Carbs are bad. The truth: Carbs are actually a necessary energy source. Carbohydrates break down into sugar, or glucose, that your body uses as energy. It’s true that not all carbs are the same, but focus less on whether you eat high or low amounts and focus more on the types of carbs you are eating.
Fat is bad. The truth: Fat has essential nutrients and energy. It is important for making hormones, for immune function, and for absorbing nutrients. You need fat in order to absorb vitamins D, A, E, and K.
Dairy is Unhealthy. The truth: Dairy products are an excellent source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, including calcium. Lots of milk products have added vitamin D that can help build strong bones, especially when it’s combined with natural calcium content
Gluten Free is Healthier. Gluten-free diets are not healthier if you don’t have gluten intolerance or celiac disease. . . . Gluten is a protein in wheat and other grains. If you are eating a gluten-free diet but don’t have gluten intolerance, you might be missing out on vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients in grains that are good for your health.
