  carbohydrates must you consume in a day? Should

Nutrition Myths that you should stop believing
today!1. Carbohydrates are bad for you

• Carbohydrates provide vital energy that is
  required to fuel your brain and central nervous
  system. It provides us with the strength to
  function and move. Carbs do not just supply
  energy but also help our body to utilize other
  nutrients. A slice of whole wheat bread contains
  all essential nutrients including fibre,
  selenium, folate and manganese. People who diet
  tend to remove all the carbohydrates from their
  diet, and as a result, they face low blood
  pressure, low energy levels, sweet cravings etc.
  One must not remove carbs entirely from their
  diet. If you have to remove anyway, cut down the
  bad quality carbohydrates. We recommend you to
  eat good quality carbohydrates consistently for
  stable blood and energy level. Without carbs, no
  meal is balanced, and as a consequence, ones
  health can suffer.

• 2. Dairy causes inflammation
• A lot of times, we have heard that we should not
  consume any dairy product because it leads to
  inflammation. Some people often say that dairy
  can cause skin related problems such as acne.
  This may not be entirely accurate. Research has
  found that fermented dairy products, such as
  yoghurt, kefir, possess anti-inflammatory
  properties. Dairy products can be a good source
  of potassium, calcium, vitamin D and protein. One
  needs enough calcium and vitamin D to keep their
  bones in a healthy state.

• 3. Sugar is Unhealthy
• Sugar these days is the reason for many
  health-related issues such as diabetes, obesity
  etc. It seems to occupy a place in peoples minds
  as a scary item. Some people believe sugar is
  toxic, but it is not true. Our bodies use the
  food eaten, break down into sugars and utilize it
  in the form of energy. Not all sugars are the
  same. One should not consume any added sugars and
  should not entirely remove added sugar from their
  diet. Our body pays the price for taking too
  much-added sugar in our meals later.

• 4. Detox is Healthy
• Many significant health and fitness bloggers say
  that detoxing is essential to remove the toxins
  from ones body. It is a bad idea because in
  reality, running a cleansing course can cause
  severe issues to the body. It eliminates toxins
  but also removes certain macronutrients and
  deprives the body of nutrients and energy it
  needs to run through its processes. We do not
  have to perform a detox routine. Our liver and
  kidneys are built-in detoxers that filter our
  blood and ensure that the body retains what it
  requires and gets rid of anything that it does
  not.

• 5. Burn more than you consume
• We are sure you must have heard quite a lot of
  times that you must burn more calories than what
  you consume. Focusing on doing so can be harmful
  to the body. This is a detrimental myth which can
  leave someone doing so, feeling unwell. Our body
  uses a substantial amount of energy daily to
  support its daily functioning. Things like
  breathing, blood circulation, maintaining the
  body temperature, organ functioning, it all
  requires calories that you have consumed.

• 6. Fresh food is always better
• Fresh fruits and vegetables that are in-season
  taste the best, but we should not forget the
  frozen, dried, or canned foods as well. They can
  be an excellent source for providing great
  nutrition choices as well. These foods are packed
  at the peak freshness, and these options are
  convenient too. If you are someone who has
  sporadic meal planning, then frozen and canned
  foods can help you in putting a nutritious meal
  on the plate.

• 7. Eat 5-6 meals a day to improve your Metabolism
• There are many ways to speed up your metabolism,
  and there are ways that slow it down, even though
  they shouldnt. The frequency of meals in a day
  does not affect your metabolism. Research
  suggests that faster metabolism or weight loss is
  not achieved by eating about 5-6 meals throughout
  the day. So, if you think eating less and more
  often will help you shed kilos, be prepared not
  to see any results.
