Top 9 Obesity Myths
6. “Childhood gym classes can prevent obesity in kids”
Adults sweat, jump and workout in the gym. Kids also do the same. Outdoor activities and sports are always better for kids instead of gym classes. So, if you want your kid to stay away from obesity then send him to play outdoor games with his friends every single day for at least one hour rather than sending him to gym classes.
7. “One act of sex burns nearly 300 calories”
One act of sex helps you to lose about one-twentieth of 300 calories only. You can lose these calories while simply resting on the couch as well.
8. “Having only fruits and vegetables encourages you to eat less”
A lot of people think that consuming fruits and vegetables will make them eat less. The fact is, consuming fruit or vegetable juice and having fresh fruits and vegetables doesn’t quench your hunger. In fact, people who eat only fruits and vegetables tend to eat more than they did before.
9. “You should not forget to eat breakfast because skinny or healthy people eat breakfast every single day”
A lot of people think that breakfast can leave a magical impact on their weight loss but this is not true. Try to use simple logic and you will come to know why you should not skip breakfast. The person who skips breakfast feels too hungry by lunch time, and then he/she is willing to grab an unhealthy meal to quench the hunger. A hungry person might have a heavy lunch. This will decrease the metabolism rate and will make him/her feel lethargic.
Hence in order to have a balanced diet across the entire day, skipping a meal is not advisable.
