Top 5 Food Myths Social Media is Forcing You to Believe
Wondering whether to have milk after consuming fish or fish oil tablets? Or just avoiding those egg yolks because you want to lose weight? Food myths are something we cannot ignore while discussing the eating habits and health. Food is the most essential part of human's life when it comes to being productive and utilizing energy. What we consume says a lot about our body, our psychology, and our health conditions.
Spending most of the time on platforms like Instagram, Facebook or Whatsapp than a news website, millennials along with other generations seek information from social media, even about the food we consume. Watching info-graphics online without knowing the whole scientific aspects or without surety of the logic given behind a certain statement leads to food myths. Food Myths are a result of something that they hear or assume with limited information. Well, from a nutrition point of view, there is a crucial need of debunking certain food myths.
Conclusion:
Social media as a source of information is not a "healthy" choice in terms of physical as well as mental health. Avoiding certain foods or having certain ones in the name of consuming "healthy" food and believing in the new age food myths, is leading millennials towards an "unhealthy lifestyle" that too without knowing. It is essential to address these myths and eat what is the right amount of food at the right time.
