7 myths about weight loss, workouts and healthy eating Bashny.Net

Why low fat foods is a sure way to excess weight and exercise not helping to lose weight. To get in shape. Not to lose shape. Such goals are simply put, but hard to achieve.

At least one reason for this is that scientific understanding of "form" and the diet vary greatly over time. People who read about fitness in the '70s, I got completely different information than those who read about it in the 90s. In turn, in the' 90s, scientists had less information about the problem than it is today.



But the old ideas are tenacious, and sometimes new is erroneous, and all received some formal evidence, printed as fact.

Here are some common health myths and exposing them.

1. From fatty fat





Intuitively, this statement seems obvious: fatty food is deposited as fat. But our bodies ustrendy not. Of course, some people eat too much fat — but this is true for any nutrient. Nevertheless fats, is especially useful, which are contained in olive oil, avocado and nuts, are an integral part of our diet. Abandoning them, you are only depriving yourself of important nutrients to support your own body: you become harder to get and increases the chance that you will start to overeat.

2. Low fat food is healthier





There's a whole industry of low-fat products, particularly dairy. It is assumed that if the package is stamped "0%", it is a healthy food. However, there are a huge number of very unhealthy food, which does not contain fat — for example, soda, candy or beer. And unfortunately, many low fat foods add a substance that is actually much more dangerous: sugar. Especially in this sense all bad with yogurt. In fact, those who eat low-fat dairy products, even increasing the likelihood to earn excess weight.

3. Muscle ache — so grow up





This is a popular idea in the fitness world, where even founded several well-known training programs. In fact, if you continue to exercise when your body is already beginning to serve such signals, you seriously risk to make injury. Of course, this does not mean that you need to work half-heartedly. Slight pain after a workout really says about the natural process of strengthening muscle (and, incidentally, this has nothing to do with lactic acid). But although the potential benefits of intensive exercise are huge, moderate, painless physical activity allows to achieve impressing results.

4. You need to drink eight glasses of water a day



Yes, to keep you hydrated is really important. And sometimes when you can't sleep or feel exasperated and tired, it really is that your body does not have enough fluid. So for people who always forget to drink, it may make sense to set a daily norm. But, as is well shown by Randall Monroe in the above comic, for the magic number "eight" there is no scientific basis. The best thing to do is to pay attention to your body and weather conditions. Drink as much water as you need to satisfy, and, most likely, everything will be fine.

5. Exercise is needed for weight loss





Physical exercise is very, very important. They help to stay in shape, strengthen muscles, and increase life expectancy. But there is one problem with which they deal is not particularly good: weight loss. Due to alone exercise simply cannot burn enough calories to noticeably lose weight, although their other functions is extremely important. In fact, there is only one way to lose weight: reduce your calorie intake. A doctor or dietitian can help you plan a diet to achieve the desired result.

6. Can you be too old for training





There is a popular belief that if you don't shape up in his youth, to achieve this will never be possible. It turns out that this is nonsense. The best studies on this issue have shown that those who started in later years — and even after 70 feel better and live longer than their friends who continue to lead a sedentary lifestyle.

7. A glass of red wine every day prolongs life



Several studies have shown that certain substances in red wine have little positive effect on the cardiovascular system, if you enter in very small amounts. But even scientists who discovered this effect, noted that drinking need to be as careful as possible. In addition, there is good evidence that this idea is incorrect in a root.
