Now a days people are becoming health freak. They try to
follow whatever they read or hear about healthy food. But we need to be careful
about where that information came from because everything is commercialized now.
Different companies hire researchers to give their opinion on their side. Because
of this, there are so many different views and studies are available to read
online. It became very hard to figure out to which extend we should trust them
and follow them.
For example, according to the previous research, we should
use less butter because it has fat, which leads to the high cholesterol, but
the other study says it’s good for us. Same for the yellow part of eggs too,
now they agree that it’s good for our health. The other example we can use is
nuts. They used to say almonds & walnuts are good for us and we should eat
less cashew because it has more fat but now study shows we should include more
cashews in our diet. Same for oil too. Before they said mixture of different
oils (more olive oil) is good but now they became the fan of coconut oil.
The purpose of my explanation is that don’t just blindly
follow whatever you read, but first make sure where it came from, specially now
when citizen journalism is on the pick, everyone is journalist and can post
anything on the net. So it became more necessary that we should check the authenticity
of the article before following it.
P.S. If you would ask
me, I am a big fan of moderation. We should eat everything which nature
provides us but in a moderate amount. Moderation is the key to good health.
Very interesting! I read a lot of health news, but I always makes sure it comes from scientific sources. If I don't believe the writer, I check the original scientific publication. Being part of a university (student or teacher) allows us free access to these publications! Just use scholar.google.com while ON CAMPUS.
