Many people concerned about their health and guided by the desire for a healthy diet deprive themselves of so many useful products just because they think that they are harmful.

In this article we will present ten MYTHS about healthy eating that you should know so you can improve the quality of your life and more importantly, your own health.

8 Myths about healthy eating that you should know:

1. Eating after 18 PM is harmful to your health.

This is one of the oldest myths that exist. And yes, maybe it made sense back in ancient times when our ancestors used to wake up early in the morning and go to bed early in the evening, but with today’s pace of life, it’s very normal for our dinner to be after 6 PM.
What is important for eating late in the evening is that your last meal should be at least 3 hours before you go to bed, and it should be something easy to digest.

2. Fat is harmful

Fats are generally considered as the number one enemy to health and good physique, but that’s not actually quite true.
Fats are necessary for digestion because they help in the metabolization of vitamins A and E, and if your body doesn’t have the required amount of fats, the creation of hormones is stopped.
The lack of fat accelerates aging of the skin and also damages the liver. Therefore, the best idea is to intake fats but to limit the intake of foods containing hidden and unhealthy fats such as sausages, mayonnaise, pastries or cakes.

Snacks are a necessary part of a diet. If you really care about your health, you should know that your body needs energy subsidies periodically.
However, such an amendment should be balanced: when you feel you’re out of energy, grab a handful of nuts or a fruit for example. You will be amazed how much it will boost your energy.

4. Carbohydrates should be avoided

There are simple and complex carbohydrates. The first, you should really avoid them. They can be found in sugar, chocolate, honey, jellies, sweet fruits and drinks, white bread and potatoes.
But if you want to eat healthy, you should eat more of the complex carbohydrates such as berries, raspberries, blackberries, vegetables, etc.

5. Fruits and vegetables are useless after being stored in the refrigerator

Modern technologies for storing food in the refrigerator allows the preservation of almost all the nutrients that a product contains itself.

6. Wheat bread is healthier than white bread

The thing that wheat bread is brownish doesn’t mean that it contains a huge amount of fibers. The “healthy” brown color may be due to the addition of additives in flour.
The energy contained in wheat bread is almost identical to the white bread. If you really want a healthy bread, you should buy bread from whole grains.

7. A juice is healthier than the fruit itself

Juices are the next in line of products which do not contain fiber, and the amount of vitamins and minerals is significantly reduced compared to the amount in the fruit itself. So next time you have an opportunity to pick, you should pick fresh fruits.

8. Sushi is very healthy!

If you eat sushi only occasionally, then of course it won’t affect your weight. However, you should keep in mind that white rice does not fall exactly among the healthiest foods.
