The nutritional value of brown sugar is not as good as that of white sugar

There are always some habitual ideas stubbornly existing in our memory, but we may never realize that those nutrition rumors that have been familiar with the heart for a long time may be totally wrong. Now, it's time to reveal the nutritional secrets behind them.

Here are the five daily nutrition tips:

Myth 1: vitamins provide strength and endurance

Truth: vitamins don't contain energy, so they can't be burned. In addition, our bodies excrete 70% of our unwanted vitamins by urinating. The most fundamental use of vitamins is to help people who are diagnosed by doctors as having insufficient vitamin content in their bodies.

Myth 2: a low-carbon diet can help you lose weight faster

Truth: you may not realize that our bodies use carbon as a source of energy. So if we follow the 'low carbon' or even 'carbon free' diet, we force our bodies to use the stored energy. When our body begins to use this stored energy, it produces some water that will be discharged from the body. In the early days of following the 'low carbon' diet, there was a significant weight loss. However, this weight loss is not permanent and can lead to some health problems. Reducing your carbon content may be good for your health, but it's best to consult your doctor about how much carbon and energy you need to consume in order to lose weight and stay healthy.

Myth 3: brown sugar is better for the body than white sugar

Truth: I'd rather tell you that white sugar is healthier than brown sugar. In fact, they are almost the same. Brown sugar in most grocery stores is just white sugar with a little honey, so it turns red. Although brown sugar contains less minerals than white sugar, it is negligible because there is little difference between them.

Rumor 4: health food stores only sell healthy food

Truth: there is no legal meaning behind the word 'all natural', so 'all natural' stores contain as much preservatives, additives and cholesterol as regular stores. So no matter where you shop, you should take a good look at the ingredients and labels.

Myth 5: all fat is bad for your body

Truth: this sentence is the most ridiculous. Our bodies need fat to survive. Without fat, our bodies can't absorb nutrients. However, some unhealthy foods, such as fat with saturated fat, do add to health problems, while others, such as olive oil, contain unsaturated fat, which can promote heart health. We need to understand the differences between these foods and eat them in moderation.
