“Gluten-free food is the best,” “vitamin C keeps the cold away,” or maybe “say no to carbs and fats completely”: these are only a couple of things that we have all either grown up listening to or have been hearing a lot recently. After all, eating healthy and staying fit is one of the ultimate aims we have for ourselves and our families, and we are ready to leave no stones unturned to attain that goal.
But, do we really need to say goodbye to all carbs and fats in order to ensure healthy eating? Especially when it comes to kids, it is okay to cut down carbs and fats from their diet? Is there really any need for them to munch on raw carrots over cooked ones to get adequate nutrients?
Truth to be told, we tend to believe a lot of things about our daily food that are nothing more than just myths keeping the vital nutrition away. With that in mind, we, at Yuvashakti Model School, positioned among the leading schools in North West Delhi, are going to bust in this article today some of such widely believed food myths.
Myth 1: Stay away from fats and carbs to maintain a healthy weight
We have noted that people have this weird kind of vendetta against all carbs and fat, whereas the fact is that our body needs both to function properly. So, instead of cutting out both fat and carbs completely from your child’s or say your family’s diet, include things like olive oil, nuts, avocados, whole grains, and the likes.
Myth 2: Vitamin C keeps you safe from catching a cold
Vitamin C will not ward off colds (and certainly not coronavirus!), but it might be helpful for the ones who participate in strenuous physical exercise. Studies have shown that a vitamin C pill before rigorous exercise can suppress superoxide dismutase activity, which is a stress marker in the body. Hence, while you should take your daily dose of Vitamin C, don’t consider it as a sure shot way to fight cold.
