Myths and reality: healthy lifestyle
Healthy Lifestyle Week is held on April 1 to 7. It is dedicated to World Health Day, which is celebrated annually on April 7.
Healthy lifestyle is a current topic, which is usually the object of different myths and misbeliefs.
1st myth: Lack of sleep can be compensated by daytime sleep.
Reality: Daytime sleep can help you recover a little after a sleepless night, but it will not replace a full night sleep, which is necessary for health and well-being.
2nd myth: The less fat there is in a product, the healthier it is.
Reality: Fats actually play an important role in the work of our body. They should not be completely avoided, because the body needs some fats such as vegetable and animal (fish, nuts, dairy products, etc.).
3rd myth: Physical activity cannot help prevent diseases.
Reality: Physical activity plays a key role in the prevention of many diseases, as it helps to regulate blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of obesity and other pathologies. It also has a positive effect on sleep quality, mood and mental state, reducing anxiety and depression.
