Has anybody ever said to you, “If you eat your carrots, you’ll have better eyesight”? Well, it’s not really true. Carrots contain Vitamin A and this is important for healthy eyes. But lots of different fruit and vegetables contain Vitamin A. As long as you have a balanced diet, you’ll get all the vitamins you need.
Another common belief is that you’ll get more energy if you eat sugar. Actually, a banana is a better option for sustained energy when you need it. Sugar will give you a short boost. However, as soon as it goes out of your bloodstream, you’ll feel tired again.
Some people think that missing breakfast can help you lose weight. In fact, if you don’t have a good breakfast, you’ll probably feel hungry by mid-morning and eat fattening snacks. You won’t lose weight successfully unless you eat three healthy meals a day.
Do you know the expression “If you eat fish, you willbe more intelligent”? Well, fish is certainly good for you and it contains Omega-3, which is important for the brain. But fish won’t make you more intelligent unless you also study a lot.
Some people say you’ll live longer if you eat chocolate. In fact, dark chocolate can be good for you. However, you won’t live longer unless you have a healthy lifestyle and long living genes.
My granny used to say, “As long as youeat garlic, you won’t get a cold!” She was wrong. When youcook with garlic, you’ll certainly add flavour. However, garlic won’t prevent colds because colds are caused by viruses.
