Describe two common dietary misconceptions in our society today. Write a 200 word essay (with at least 2 references) refuting the misconceptions and using information that you have learned in this class.
Common Dietary Misconceptions
Sufficient nutrition is a critical component of the wellbeing of individuals in different parts of the world. It encompasses a careful balance of nutrients where each nutrient plays a fundamental role in the dietary composition (Hesketh et al., 2005). Despite the importance of such a balance, there exist a series of misinformation surrounding mainstream nutrition and hence hinder the attainment of adequate dietary. Besides, diet has become an essential issue to many individuals who strive to achieve healthy eating habits. This essay looks into the two most common dietary misconceptions as well as the truth behind such misconceptions.
The first misconception is about late night eating where most individuals are forced to believe that it makes people fat. In a society where many people struggle with issues of obesity and being overweight, they tend to believe every source of information hoping it will solve their problems (Hesketh et al., 2005). The misconception does not stand since it is based on the argument that the energy from late-night dinner gets stored as fat when one sleeps. This isn't the case because an individual's body does not care when he or she consumes calories but rather the amount of calories consumed and how much is burned. If a person consumes more calories than what he or she burns, such an individual will gain weight, and therefore, it is not an issue of late-night eating.
The second misconception relates to the belief that eggs are bad for health. While it is a fact that eggs contain high amounts of cholesterol, they are not necessarily bad for an individual's health when eaten in moderation (Gray & Griffin, 2009). Notably, eggs are an adequate source of protein as well as vitamin A, D and E. The research by a nutritionist, Gray Juliet as well as Bruce Griffin from the University of Surrey recommends re-evaluating the limit on the level of healthy egg consumption (Gray & Griffin, 2009).
In conclusion, effective nutrition is a significant component in staying healthy for individuals throughout the world.
