Do you know all the health recommendations you often get during your life? Yeah, it seems that not all of them have reason to be taken seriously. Zenewsnetwork has published a list of myths that seemingly mislead even healthcare professionals. Let's go to them:

As well? Everyone has spent a lifetime listening to tips on how to protect the skin from the sun's rays and now this one! According to the article posted on the site, there is no evidence to prove that sun exposure can cause cancer; In fact, the opposite seems to be true, as sunlight stimulates our bodies to produce vitamin D, which in turn can protect the skin from this kind of disease and even prevent depression.

Speaking of vitamin, an American research found that some sunscreens that have vitamin A in their composition may actually accelerate the division of possible cancer cells. According to research, protectors may even prevent sunburn, but do not prevent ultraviolet rays from reaching our skin.

2 - Not everything that has soy is healthy

Good news for those who hate the product and were waiting for an excuse to sabotage the consumption of this type of food for good. The fact is that soy can do good to health, but when it comes to unfermented soy, the way is to avoid it. This type of compound can cause brain damage, cancer, kidney stones and other health problems, according to studies.

Fermented soy, which is okay, is present in some small consumer products such as soy sauce and miso. The unfermented ones are present in juices, yogurts and the like. According to Pat Feldman's website, consumption of products made from unfermented soybeans have industrialized proteins and may increase the level of carcinogens.

It seems that many sugar substitutes tend to have the opposite effect on those seeking to lose weight. In addition, artificial sugar can increase insulin content, which can cause weight gain. Time to run to the hills. At least it's a sure way to burn those damn calories.

Contrary to popular belief, boiling milk is not good. It even makes the drink "cleaner", but this process is also blamed for removing the components that are good for our body from milk. An article published on The Tree Hugger advocates the use of unboiled milk and explains that it can have many benefits, especially for people with allergies and asthma.

5 - A Fat Free Diet Is Not So Healthy

Calm. It does not mean that you will add bacon to all your meals. The point here is that our body needs fat as well as many other components of our diet. What counts, like everything else in life, is knowing the right measure. Not too much, not too much. And there, there will be no reason to panic. The tip for those who want to lose weight is to cut their sugar intake first - he is a big villain!
