Debunking Nutrition Myths for a Healthier Life

With so much information available about healthy eating, it is hard to figure out what is true and what is not, especially when it comes to nutrition and eating habits. Below are three of the widely disseminated nutrition myths that are simply not true. 

Debunking Nutrition Myths for a Healthier Life

1. Eating every three hours will speed the metabolism. While frequently claimed, there is no scientific evidence or research to back this assertion. 

2. Drink eight glasses of water daily. Many adhere to this rule with unnecessary strictness. Drink plenty of water, but you may not need 64 fluid ounces each day. Some of this fluid will come from food, as well. Just be mindful and make sure you’re not dehydrated. 

3. Eggs raise cholesterol. Whenever someone hears they need to lower their cholesterol, they seem to cut out eggs first. This is not necessary. Eggs should be eaten in moderation, but they will not spike cholesterol. Plus, they provide the body with many important nutrients.
