11 Fatal Mistakes That Even Gurus of Healthy Eating Make

When shifting to a healthy lifestyle, many people are unable to reach their goals. Maybe the reason is in their confidence that they have chosen the right strategy for eating. But if we look closer, we will find out that much of our knowledge about healthy products is actually false.

We at Clamotion support people’s struggle toward self-perfection and want to help them improve their knowledge in the area of healthy eating. Let’s finally bust the 11 most popular myths about healthy eating.

1. We choose organic products.

Organic products are believed to be healthier and safer than regular ones but there is no scientific evidence that proves this. When growing these products, farmers don’t use synthetic pesticides. Instead, they are replaced with natural pesticides and their side effects have been poorly studied.

Moreover, the “Eco” or “Natural” mark on the package doesn’t always mean healthier food. Sometimes it’s just a marketing ploy that is used for increasing sales. When buying these products it’s important to pay attention to their content, origin, and appearance.

2. We prefer products without gluten.

Recently, products containing gluten have been considered harmful. There are people who really need to stick to a gluten-free diet because they have been diagnosed with celiac disease. But only about 1% of people have this disease.

In all other cases, there is no scientific evidence proving that staying away from gluten improves our well-being. According to the latest research, rejection of gluten increases the risk of cardiovascular disease because whole grains are eliminated from our diet.

3. We buy low-fat products.

In pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, many people choose low-fat products. But very few of us realize that by reducing the level of fats, manufacturers compensate their product’s content with other components for improving taste. For example, with sugar, flavors, stabilizers, and trans fats, which are bad for our health.

Products with a normal fat content are necessary for a balanced and healthy diet. It’s only necessary to exclude fats for real medical reasons. In all other cases, lowering the percentage of fats in a product will be enough.

4. We drink fruit juices.
