16. Sleep has nothing to do with weight management
Wrong again!
Sleep plays an important role in weight management for several
reasons. A study of Women cited in the American Journal of Epidemiology showed
that those who got less than seven hours of sleep per night gained weight. And
other studies have shown that even minimal sleep deprivation increases the
production of the hormone ghrelin in the body, which triggers feelings of hunger,
even when one is not. Think about it, how often have you eaten when you were
really tired?
15. Fruit cocktail is the
same as eating whole fruit
Big wrong on this one! Anything canned has preservatives and
additives. Fruit cocktails typically have a ton of added sugar that ups the
calorie count dramatically, besides the hazards of the refined sugar that is
included (aka heavy syrup).
Whole fruit always wins!
