Top 20 Health And Fitness Myths

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!
