Many people hold misconceptions about diet, for example:
| 1. |
False: |
The solids left after making a soup have no nutritional value. We can simply drink the soup to obtain the nutrients. |
|
True: |
The dietary fibre, protein and other nutrients in the ingredients still remain in the solids. Therefore, it is recommended to eat them along with the soup. |

False: |
Skipping breakfast helps lose weight and maintain an ideal body weight. |
|
True: |
In addition to providing the essential daily nutrients, breakfast also helps us concentrate and boost our work performance. Having three meals a day – breakfast, lunch and dinner – at regular times and in fixed amounts, along with an appropriate amount of physical activity, actually aids in maintaining an ideal body weight. |
