misunderstanding things relating to diet that you can have questions.
1. Black bread has more nutrients than white bread
You
cannot evaluate the quality of bread by its color.
In reality, you cannot evaluate by its
color. You need to read the list of nutrition components and look the table if
nutrition components. First of all, the listed component that you should pay
attention is 100% of wheat or grain with the whole seed. Sometimes, bread is
has black color because it contains caramel or colorings.
2. Egg can make cholesterol increase
In reality: Egg doesn’t have the dangerous
effect on the concentration of cholesterol in your blood. Cholesterol – fat
molecule in egg – doesn’t affect the amount of cholesterol in your blood.

3. All saturated fats are harmful.
In reality: Some saturated fats are useful
for health. Researchers showed that there are many kinds of saturated fats,
mainly lauric, myristic, palmitic and stearic acid. The interesting thing is
that they are handled and absorbed by body differently.
Stearic acid is one kind of saturated fat
that is found in cacao, products from milk, palm oil and coconut that operate
similarly to the mono unsaturated fat. In addition, they won’t make the harmful
cholesterol increase; they help increase the concentration of useful HDL
cholesterol.
4. Wine and beer are the enemies of heart system.
In reality: beer and wine are also useful
for health. Researchers showed that ethanol in wine and beer can increase the
level of HDL (one kind of good cholesterol) that can help body prevent the accumulation
of plaques in artery and reduces the element of the coagulation of blood that
can contribute to limit heart disease and stroke.
According to a professor in Havard
University, any kinds of drink containing alcohol that is consumed with a
suitable level (a small glass/day) can reduce the risk of heart disease.

and it can be found in oat, fruits and kinds of bean and the second type cannot
be dissolved in water that is found in grain with the whole seed, kinds of
seed).
You need to know that these kinds of fiber
have the different function. An expert has doubt that the kinds of food
provided with fiber won’t bring as many benefits as the foods that are rich of
natural fibers.
In reality, most processed foods lack a
series of vitamins, minerals and nutrients from animal.
