1. There is only one way to lose weight.

        It means ensuring that your energy intake is lower than your energy expenditure; simply put, it's about exercising more and controlling your diet.

2. Girls shouldn't try to lose weight haphazardly.

        Women need a certain amount of fat for normal metabolism. When the body fat percentage is below 20%, menstrual irregularities may occur, and if it is even lower, it may affect fertility.

3. Making vegetable juice is worse than making fruit juice.

        Drinking two cups is equivalent to consuming the sugar content of four to six fruits. It's better to blend a large amount of vegetables and a small amount of fruit together and drink the pulp as well. Although this results in a loss of vitamin C, it still has benefits because it doesn't contain salt.

4. There are basically three types of "healthy snacks".

        Fruits, nuts, and yogurt.

5. Yogurt should be consumed 1-2 hours after meals.

        Many people believe that yogurt aids digestion, so they drink it immediately after meals. However, if you eat a very large meal, drinking a cup of yogurt immediately afterward will only increase the burden on your intestines.

6. Drinking soup alone is not effective for nourishing the body.

        Even if you stew it for a long time, the soup is just a very thin solution of fat and water-soluble amino acids, while the main nutrients remain in the meat.

7. Do not give honey to children under 1 year old.

        However, this substance is easily contaminated by Clostridium botulinum. Adults have a healthy gut microbiota, so there's no need to worry.

8. If you can eat at home, then eat at home.

        People who eat dinner at home 5 to 7 times a week have a 15% lower chance of developing diabetes compared to the control group who eat dinner at home only twice a week.

9. A refrigerator is not a safe.

        Even when refrigerated, leafy green vegetables can only be kept for about 3 days, and other vegetables are best eaten within a week to avoid a decrease in nutritional value.

10. You don't necessarily need to use dish soap to wash dishes.

       If the food you're cooking isn't greasy, a dishcloth and hot water will suffice. Excessive contact with many chemicals in detergents can interfere with the body's normal metabolism.

11. Don't force yourself to stay hungry at night.

       Although it is recommended not to eat late-night snacks, if you feel noticeably hungry at night, you should still eat something, such as a cup of yogurt.

12. Don't eat at roadside stalls.

        There are many roadside food stalls and fast food vendors around large hospitals, and their hygiene conditions are often questionable. Doctors generally avoid these places. This has nothing to do with being a germaphobe.

13. Even if you woke up late, you should still eat something.

        You wake up at 11 am on the weekend, but you still need to eat something first. Your stomach has been waiting all night, so don't wait to eat it with lunch.

14. Grapefruit should not be eaten with antihypertensive medication.

        However, food can indeed affect the efficacy of medications. Grapefruit can increase the blood concentration of oral dihydropyridine preparations such as felodipine, nifedipine, nicardipine, and nimodipine to varying degrees, causing hypotension, but it has no effect on amlodipine. 15. Fasting is not necessary for diarrhea .

       This is especially true for children. Traditional treatments for diarrhea often involve fasting for a period of time. However, this is actually detrimental to the body's nutritional intake.

16. Do not apply any powder to the wound.

       Whether it's a cut or a burn, applying powder to the wound surface after injury can cause severe scar hyperplasia. The long-held belief that applying toothpaste or soy sauce to burns is even more unreliable.
