British geneticist Tim Spector has overturned three popular rules about healthy eating.
This was reported by the Daily Mail, citing publika.az.
The expert said that breakfast is not mandatory and we can skip it anyway. According to him, going hungry for more than 12 hours has a good effect on our health. He added that low insulin levels will help you lose weight fast. The spectator also noted that the benefits of fish for human health are exaggerated. According to geneticists, the effect of omega-3 acids in fish on the brain has not yet been fully determined.
In addition, Spector rejected the popular belief that salt is a "white death." According to him, healthy people do not notice a change in their health when the amount of salt increases or decreases.
Felice Jaka, head of the International Society for Nutritional Psychiatric Research, said a balanced, healthy diet could reduce anxiety and depression. He stressed that foods high in fat and sugar can worsen the mood. Jaka called the Mediterranean diet the best type of nutrition for high spirits and said the diet is effective in preventing overeating.
