Abstract
- This article discusses eight wellness myths that have persisted over time. The first myth is that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but research on intermittent fasting suggests that skipping breakfast can have health benefits. The second myth is that fresh produce is always better than frozen, but frozen fruits and vegetables can be just as nutritious and have a longer shelf life. The third myth is that a glass of wine a day is good for the heart, but studies have shown that even small amounts of alcohol can increase the risk of certain health issues. The fourth myth is that we need eight cups of water every day, but our fluid needs can vary and any alcohol-free fluid counts towards hydration. The fifth myth is that salt is bad for us, but we actually need it for proper bodily functions and some individuals may need to add more salt to their diet. The sixth myth is that creatine is only for bodybuilders, but it can also benefit older individuals, women, and endurance athletes. The seventh myth is that we should stop drinking coffee, but moderate coffee consumption has been linked to various health benefits. The eighth myth is that high-cholesterol foods are bad for the heart, but dietary cholesterol has a limited impact on blood cholesterol levels for most people. [Extracted from the article]
