The concept of human health is often mistaken

During World War II, in order to deceive the Germans, the British troops spread rumors that they shot good planes because they ate a lot of carrots and brightened their eyes.

There are many health concepts that we think are true, but they are not necessarily. Here are the common health misunderstandings.

100% fruit juice is a good choice

Fruit juice also contains sugar. The sugar of a canned juice is equivalent to a carbonated soft drink.

Healthy snacks

Snacking can be a healthy habit because it helps people avoid overeating at one meal. However, if taken too often, this habit is harmful to health, causing you to neglect three main meals. Besides, the majority of junk food is prepared food containing sugar and preservatives, leading to cancer risk.

Fasting is harmful to health

Intermittent fasting can help prevent diseases like diabetes and obesity by promoting the body to produce brain-enhancing proteins that function as antidepressants. Scientists say fasting can prolong our lifespan and help cells in the body longer. Every day, you should rest your bowels for at least 12 hours.

Yogurt is always good

Most canned yogurt contains a certain amount of sugar. If you crave yogurt, choose those without sugar and sprinkle some dried fruits.

Egg yolk contains lots of cholesterol, so eat only white

There is no evidence that cholesterol in eggs leads to high cholesterol. A Finnish study found that eating an egg every day did not affect the risk of stroke, even in people with poor cholesterol metabolism.

Eat as few carbs as possible

Carbohydrates are not bad. Carbohydrates from quinoe seeds, bananas, apples, beans even help reduce blood pressure and slim down the waistline. You should only avoid refined carbohydrates in white biscuits or bread.

Eating carrots will brighten the eyes

Carrots are good for eye health but don't help you see better. This is actually a rumor from World War II. In order to deceive the Germans, the British had spread rumors that their soldiers shot good planes because they ate a lot of carrots to brighten their eyes.

To keep your eyes bright even when we get older, researchers recommend eating plants rich in vitamins C, E, zinc, and omega-3 like fish, broccoli, nuts and berries.
