There are a lot of myths in any aspects of our world. For a long time we believe them. It is a good thing to the truth and say good bye to the old myths. When we are not sure of one thing, we should not pass the information to the future generation.
Here are the old myths:
Myth: Asparagus is a diuretic.
Truth: Asparagus is not a diuretic. It just creates an odor during urination.
Myth: Potatoes and bread make you fat.
Truth: Both are healthy carbohydrates that average about 100 calories and are low in fat. It’s what you add to both that increases fat. (i.e. butter, sour cream, mayonnaise)
Myth: Eating after 6 p.m. makes you gain weight.
Truth: Eating at night tends to lead to consuming higher calories because you are home, near the T.V. (did you ever notice what most of the commercials feature?) near the refrigerator and relaxed. Or you are eating out at a party or in a restaurant where you tend to eat higher fat and calories and larger portions. Calories are the same at any hour of the day.
Myth: Drinking lots of water makes you retain fluid.
Truth: Water acts as a natural diuretic. It will help flush out your system of toxins.
