A balanced and healthy diet is the basis for good health.

More and more people are trying to get rid of bad eating habits and follow the principles of healthy eating. At the same time, doctors note that “food” myths have already appeared that are harmful to the body.

German doctors spoke about them in more detail, writes Pravda.ru .

Low-fat products

You shouldn't give up fats in your diet. It can only do harm.

It should be taken into account that such elements are important for the body.

The fact is that they support immunity, protect cells and provide thermal insulation.

Salt

You can't overdo it, but you shouldn't completely eliminate it from your diet either. This can only be done with certain indicators, and only after consulting a doctor.

However, the sodium and chlorine contained in salt are important for metabolic processes.

The permissible daily intake of this product is up to 5 g.

Honey and sweeteners

Honey is considered a good alternative to sugar, but only if you add it in limited quantities. The product will also be beneficial if you remove other sweets from your diet.

As for sugar substitutes, there is no clear answer to the question of their effectiveness and harmlessness.

Water

Everyone knows that you need to drink about 2-2.5 liters of clean water every day.

But still, you need to remember that you need to focus on the needs of your own body.
