Today what we're gonna do is we're gonna conquer five nutrition myths that are commonly heard and we're gonna explain why they're blatantly wrong and incorrect Let's get into number one Number one is that saturated fat is the enemy it's bad for you and you need to avoid it at all costs in your diet This is simply not true guys It's just like the fact that if you have a bunch of protein It's not gonna make you super jack necessarily just as if you have a ton of fat. You're not gonna get fat So that's where a lot of people can see this fallacy saturated fat often gets blamed as well for being a Propheian of heart disease. This is simply not the case and fact some studies actually suggested it might help with heart health The research is kind of uneven, but it is for sure known that it is not horrible for you Of course you want to have an in moderation, but it'd be very hard to reach high levels of danger saturated fat Saturated fat is actually a key determinant for testosterone Production and if you're too low on the spectrum you could actually hurt your testosterone Which we know is the key the king to building muscle and maintaining Functions for men and even women with their baseline low testosterone rate. It is the king and a ball of corn Another common myth I hear is that whole grain bread is so much better for you when I order white bread I kind of get a look from other people like I'm committing a sin, but this isn't true So let me start off by saying that whole grain bread will contain more micron nutrients a little bit more fiber And it also is lower on the glycemic index, but white bread isn't too far off Keep in mind guys if you're going to your gluten sources for your micro nutrients and your fiber intake you guys are Doing it wrong. You should really be focusing on vegetables and fruits to getting those microbes and fiber content Do what fits your lifestyle best but to put whole grain on a scale like this and white bread down here It is a myth and we have just busted that so I hope you guys learned something number three This is what I hear quite often and this is that natural foods and natural sources of vitamins and fiber content are better than Supplemented once this is simply a fallacy because it's too broad of a statement and there are Dietary amino acids dietary minerals and there are non-essential amino acids and nutrients that actually don't occur in the diet So a lot of these do need to be supplemented and a lot of them do have differing bioavail abilities Which in turn will affect how your body is able to use and synthesize them some of the nutrients and vitamins minerals Etc that you get in foods just aren't on the high enough High enough levels that you would need to maintain a healthy body function for instance Especially in people who are very Deplete in certain vitamins so those with magnesium depletion issues They need to actually have more and it's very hard for them to do that purely through diet So it's a very broad over generalized Statement that it's like this is it's not the case there are a lot of nuances to it And it's something you need to look into but chemicals are not always bad chemical supplements are good for you as well Take your maltees Another common myth that is being plastered everywhere is that there's a correlation between high salt and your diet and high blood pressure That salt is the direct cause for this elevation high blood pressure and negative heart health This is simply not the case and is being disproven and said the correlation to high blood pressures largely associated with BMI Which is body mass index and that is your overall how much body fat you're holding usually people with high body fats of other nutritional issues High salt however is something you do want to be careful of because it can lead to other Negative physical repercussions saying so maintaining a higher-ish Salt diet is largely okay people like nutritional expert PhD Lane Norton says he actually himself has about 5,000 milligrams a day Just want to keep your water and make sure you're filtering it out But if you're having too much water you're gonna drain your potassium that's a debate for another day But that's just the rule of thumb that it is not directly correlated to this high blood pressure Number five last but not least is the myth that you have to eat clean to get shredded This is just an absolute fallacy when it comes to weight loss Number one on the scale is total chloric intake number two is macronutrient intake Once you guys put a lot of focus into that you guys are even in a deficit you can make progress You don't need to be eating chicken broccoli none of that stuff all the time I still like to enjoy it, but it is not necessary.
