Myth vs. Muscle: What Your Body Really Wants

Think you know everything there is to know about health?
Rethink your assumptions! Although many of us still think that milk is the best source of calcium, did you know that spinach, ragi, and sesame seeds can actually be just as good?
What about the "eight glasses of water a day" rule? There is no one-size-fits-all solution; it depends on your body, level of activity, and the climate.
Concerned about cholesterol being raised by egg yolks? No! The majority of it is produced by your liver, and yolks are actually high in nutrients.
Have you heard that bananas cause fat? False alarm—no single fruit is to blame for weight gain; bananas are a great source of potassium and energy.
Additionally, ten-minute walks, stair climbs, or dance breaks can be just as beneficial as an hour at the gym every day.
The truth is, real health is about balance, not blindly following trends. So the next time someone drops a “fact”, ask yourself: Is it true—or just a health myth waiting to be busted?
