So, we\u2019ve broken down the biggest myths in the game to keep your foodie facts straight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brown Bread Isn\u2019t Healthier<\/strong><br \/>\nAccording to the Society for Minerals and Trace Elements, this newfangled Franken-wheat is less nutritious than the real stuff. If you really want to make a change and can\u2019t bear to give up the good stuff, go for wholegrain. It won\u2019t save your life, but it has a lower GI level and using the full grain adds a whole host of vitamins, nutrients, and phytochemicals that almost makes your toast healthy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eating Little And Often Won\u2019t Burn More Calories<\/strong><br \/>\nInstead, it\u2019s more likely that the content of traditional East Asian food is what aids weight management \u2013 lots of vegetables, unrefined carbs and natural ingredients.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There\u2019s More To Obesity Than Poor Nutrition And Fitness<\/strong><br \/>\nStudies by the Harvard School of Public Health suggest that overeating can trigger similar reactions in the brain to narcotics-based addictions \u2013 the sign of deeper emotional stress that a jog won\u2019t solve.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coffee Isn\u2019t All Bad<\/strong><br \/>\nA morning cup of joe from the hipster coffee joint near the office might dent your bank balance, but it\u2019s not all bad news.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All Calories Aren\u2019t Equal<\/strong><br \/>\nCounting calories may clinch a Weight Watchers certificate, but it\u2019s the type of calories you consume that actually counts. Different foods have different metabolic effects and therefore simply reducing calorie intake can be ineffective.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Low-Fat Foods Are Healthier<\/strong><br \/>\nThere\u2019s a reason why bad foods taste oh-so-good, and that\u2019s fat. When brands reduce or remove fat content, the marketing would have you believe that the calories are removed, too. The reality is much different.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Red Meat Raises The Risks Of Heart Disease<\/strong><br \/>\nThanks to numerous examples of compelling research on both sides, red meat, and heart disease is still very much a nutritional grey area.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fashionbeans.com\/2017\/7-nutrition-myths-debunked\/\">Fashionbeans<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a world of fake news, nutrition is a money-spinning marketing game awash with ambassador celebrities that spout just as&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[11],"class_list":["post-278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nutrition","tag-nutrition"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=278"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":280,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278\/revisions\/280"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
