Some Myths Need To Be Busted

August 27, 2008

Some facts just don’t cut, so let’s just bust them!

Myth: This diet is perfect! It worked for me; it will work for you, as well.
Not true, diets are like clothes. They work differently on different people. There is no one size fits all diet. What works for someone, may not work for you.

Myth: You must follow the food pyramid and get your portions right.
Again, like diets, the food pyramid too may not work for everyone. The ideal number of grain servings may just cause you to bloat and fell ill.

Myth: Oral health has nothing to do with the rest of my body.
Inflammation of the gums or periodontal disease has been linked to coronary artery disease or arteriosclerosis. Flossing your teeth regularly may be the simplest way to prevent a heart attack.

Myth: If you are stressed out, you will probably lose weight.
Whoever said that need his head examined. Cortisol, the stress hormone, leads to carbohydrate cravings and over-eating. This results in weight gain and an increase in abdominal fat.

Myth: My blood type has nothing to do with my diet.
Of course, they do! Blood types do make a difference. Some types are more likely to be allergic or sensitive to certain foods. For example O+ people are more likely to be hypersensitive to dairy foods.

Myth: A balanced diet will provide you with all the nutrition your body needs.
Even with a balanced diet, it is almost impossible to achieve optimal health. A person can, however, be reasonably healthy without supplements.

Myth: My body metabolism
Myth: My body metabolism is just like yours.
Each person’s metabolism is different from another’s. You need to match the right kind of food with the right kind of metabolism.
