As you may know, not fueling up with the right nutrients can affect how well your body
performs and your overall fitness benefits.
Even though healthy eating is important,
there are myths that hinder your performance if you listen to them.
Below, you'll find some myth busters on healthy eating.
1. Working out on an
empty stomach.
If you hear a rumbling noise in your stomach, the rumbling
is trying to tell you something. Without
listening to them, you are forcing your body to run without any fuel. Before you exercise or do any physical activity,
always eat a light snack such as an apple.
2. Relying on energy
bars and drinks.
Although they are fine every once in a while, they don't
deliver the antioxidants you need to prevent cancer. Fruits and vegetables are your best bets, as
they are loaded in vitamins, minerals, fluid, and fiber.
3. Skipping
breakfast.
Skipping breakfast is never a good idea, as breakfast starts the day. Your body needs fuel as soon as possible, and
without it, you'll be hungry throughout
the day.
4. Low carb diets.
Your body needs carbohydrates for your muscles and the
storing of energy.
5. Eating what you
want.
Eating healthy and exercising doesn't give you an all access
pass to eat anything you want. Everyone
needs the same nutrients whether they exercise or not, as
well as fruits and vegetables.
6. Not enough
calories
Although losing weight involves calories, losing it too
quickly is never safe. What you should
do,is aim for 1 - 2 pounds a week.
Always make sure that you are
getting enough calories to keep your body operating smoothly. If you start dropping weight too fast, eat a
bit more food.
7. Skip soda and
alcohol.
Water, milk, and juice is the best to drink for active
people. You should drink often, and not require
on thirst to be an indicator. By the
time you get thirsty, your body is already running a bit too low.
Changing how you eat is always a great step towards healthy eating and it will affect how
your body performs. The healthier you
eat, you better you'll feel. No matter
how old you may be, healthy eating is something you should strive for. Once you give it a chance, you'll see in no
time at all just how much it can change your life - for the better.
