People with good figures are actually guilty of these two mistakes

For people whose body mass index is within the normal range, their body composition or other health indicators such as blood cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar, bone density, etc. may be abnormal.

Myth 1: If you are neither fat nor thin, you don’t need to exercise

The body is neither fat nor thin, no need for exercise

To judge whether a person is fat or thin, one needs to make an estimate based on the body mass index or the difference between his or her weight and the standard weight for his or her height.

For people whose body mass index is within the normal range, their body composition or other health indicators such as blood cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar, bone density, etc. may be abnormal.

Abnormal body composition means that the proportion of body fat is inappropriate. Some lesbians look quite slim, but when their body composition is measured, the proportion of body fat is still too high. There are two aspects to an excessively high body fat ratio: one is that the absolute amount of fat is high, and the other is that there is less muscle content, so the relative fat content is high. Slim lesbians mainly belong to the latter category. This situation is mainly caused by insufficient exercise and the gradual reduction of muscle fibers after middle age as people age.

For people with a normal body mass index, exercise can change body composition and muscle-fat structure ratio, and improve various body functions.

Myth 2: Fruit is a snack and can be eaten or not

Don’t think that fruit is only a weapon for girls who want to lose weight, and other people can eat it or not.

Fruits contain minerals that are essential to the human body but cannot be synthesized by itself. They have strong antioxidant effects, vitamins that prevent cell aging, and soluble fiber - pectin - that can significantly lower blood cholesterol levels. They are very beneficial to human health. However, the proportion of Chinese people, especially men, who regularly eat fruit is very low.

Eating fruits regularly may reduce the risk of cancer

In the 1980s, an analysis of data from a 10-year follow-up study of 1 million people in the United States found that among people who did not eat or rarely ate fruit, the lung cancer mortality rate was 1.75 times that of people who regularly ate fruit. What ingredients in fruits have such an effect? ​​Is it vitamins? Can taking commercially available vitamin preparations have the same effect? ​​Further analysis of the relationship between lung cancer deaths and the use of vitamin preparations found that regular use of vitamins does not have a similar protective effect.

In this regard, nutritional immunology experts explain that the vitamins in natural plants do not work alone, but work in combination with other vitamins and nutrients. Since chemically synthesized vitamins are separated from other vitamins and nutrients, the ratios of the ingredients in the compound are also different from those in nature, and they cannot produce the same effects as natural vitamins.

Therefore, in daily life, fruit should be an important part of the daily diet and is by no means dispensable. For the general population, vitamin preparations cannot and should not replace daily fruits and vegetables.
