Ready-made Cereals are the healthiest way to start the day With many breakfast cereals marketed as health foods - perfect for weight loss and growing kids alike - many of us view them in this way. However, sugar levels in packaged cereals are often extremely high , even in the most "healthy" sounding brands. A recent study found that most leading brands of cereals they tested had more levels of fat, sugar and salt per serving. It is true that many of these cereals are fortified with vitamins and minerals, however, these nutrients are better taken in their natural form

Myth: It's Essential to Drink Eight Glasses of Water a Day Eight glasses a day? It is just modern theory (why 8, why not 7 or 9). Our bodies do need plenty of water - and athletes might need more than most - but there's nothing magical about eight glasses Don't forget that water is found in foods as well as beverages. Additionally flooding our body with water meaning Diluting the Water soluble vitamins inside the body & hence reducing their action in the body Water has no natural minerals and vitamins . Whereas fruits and vegetables have 90% water loaded with minerals and vitamins So, when you are consuming whole fruits and vegetables, your requirement for water with minerals and vitamins is getting fulfilled. Additionally, these days the foods that we have these days absorbs more water. Hence, the concept of 8 glasses of water came into being

Myth: The More Protein You Eat the Better Our body needs protein to repair damaged tissues and build hormones, enzymes, and other things. Too much protein can raise the risk for osteoporosis and kidney stones . . That's because high-protein diets cause calcium to slip through the kidneys, into the urinary tract. In people with poor kidney function - often the result of urinary infections, diabetes, or high blood pressure - high-protein diets also tend to accelerate the loss of kidney function Kidneys filter and remove the waste product and toxins from our body like Urea and Creatinine. These are waste products produced during Protein Metabolism. If amount of protein is high, these waste products produced will be high in quantity, causing pressure on Kidney to Filter and eventually cause loss in kidney functioning More amount of protein taken, more hydrochloric acid will be released as protein metabolism takes place with the help of enzyme pepsin and hydrochloric acid.

Myth: A Glass of Wine Every Day Promotes Good Health Alcohol is a double-edged sword. Women who drink daily - even one drink per day - have a higher risk of breast cancer, compared with women who avoid alcohol entirely The apparent reason is that alcohol disrupts folic acid, a B-vitamin known to have anticancer effects.

Myth: To Get Enough Iron, You Need Plenty of Red Meat It's true that some people, like menstruating women, don't get enough iron. Green vegetables and beans provide nonheme iron , a form that is more absorbable when your body is low in iron and less absorbable when you already have enough Iron in meat is heme iron which barges into your body whether you need it or not. Hence, it can trigger the production of free radicals - that can contribute to diseases and speed the aging process. In Addition, Iron Overload Can Increase The Risk For Heart Disease As Well

Myth on Phytate: Phytates are Bad Correct info : Phytates can have some really positive health benefits. They do have some anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects and may help with reducing blood glucose levels and kidney stones Phytates can bind to some minerals like iron, calcium and zinc, and possibly inhibit absorption, but at the same time, if you're eating vitamin C-rich foods, this can help absorption of some vitamins and minerals Acidic foods can also help break down phytates in foods, as well, so it's not necessary to avoid phytates. Right combination of foods and right way to eat food is important
