6 Common Nutrition Myths Busted!
🚫 Myth 1: Late-Night Eating Causes Weight Gain
✅ Truth: It’s what and how much you eat during the day that matters—not the time. A balanced snack at night won’t hurt if it fits within your daily calorie needs.
🚫 Myth 2: High-Protein Diets Harm Your Kidneys
✅ Truth: For most healthy people, high-protein diets are safe. Issues arise only if you already have pre-existing kidney problems. Always stay hydrated!
🚫 Myth 3: Gluten-Free is Healthier for Everyone
✅ Truth: Unless you have celiac disease or gluten intolerance, gluten is harmless. Whole grains containing gluten (like wheat) are rich in fiber and nutrients.
🚫 Myth 4: Fresh Produce is Always Better Than Frozen
✅ Truth: Frozen fruits and veggies are just as nutritious as fresh ones and often more affordable. They’re picked and frozen at peak ripeness, locking in nutrients.
🚫 Myth 5: You Must Cut Out Sugar Completely
✅ Truth: Occasional treats are fine in moderation. The real issue is excessive added sugar, not natural sugars in fruits or occasional desserts. Balance is key!
🚫 Myth 6: More Exercise = More Weight Loss
✅ Truth: Exercise is essential, but overdoing it can lead to burnout or injury. A combination of proper diet, moderate exercise, and rest gives the best results.
✨ Takeaway: Nutrition isn’t about extremes—it’s about balance, consistency, and making informed choices.
