Test your knowledge of nutrition and fitness to see if you know that facts, of if you've bought into some of the myths that are out there. Is each statement fact, or fantasy?
1. When it comes to fat in the diet, the lower the amount the better.
2. Fat is fat, and should be avoided when possible.
3. If you can't exercise for at least 30 minutes, you shouldn't even bother.
4. If women lift weights, they will get bulky and masculine-looking.
5. If someone lifts weights and then stops, the muscle he or she has added will turn to fat.
Answers:
1. Fantasy. We need fat in our diets to support our bodies' normal functioning. Although many Americans get too much fat in their diets, we still should be getting 20 to 30 percent of our calories from fat. Fat gives food texture and helps promote a feeling of fullness. Decreasing the fat content in your diet too drastically may lead to increased hunger, which may lead to overeating later.
2. Fantasy. Not all fats are created equal. While the saturated fats in meats and some dairy products should be limited to no more that 10 percent of our calories, the unsaturated fats from most plant sources and some seafood sources contain heart-healthy fatty acids. Olive oil, nuts and salmon are examples of foods that contain these healthier fats. Aim for the majority of your fat calories to come from these types of foods.
3. Fantasy. You can gain some health benefits from just 10 minutes of activity. When it comes to exercise, even a little bit is good. A 10 minute walk will help relieve tension and stress, and can help increase your overall level of fitness. Add a couple of 10 minute walks to your day when possible and the results will add up. To gain more benefits, exercising for 20 to 45 minutes is best, but those little 10 minute sessions can make a difference!
4. Fantasy. Most women lack the ability to get really big and bulky from 2 to 3 days a week of weight training (without some chemical help, that is). What they can gain is strength and stamina, and they can add shape and definition to their muscles. Also, the added muscle raises metabolism, which will help burn off excess calories throughout the day.
5. Fantasy. Muscle is muscle, fat is fat. They are two different types of tissue so one can't turn into the other. What will happen is that the unused muscle will shrink, making the body feel and look less firm. If more calories than needed are consumed, excess fat will set in wherever the body decides to put it, whether there were big muscles there before, or not.
How did you do? If you got all 5 correct, you're probably on the ball, but don't forget it's important to keep ahead of the misinformation that gets passed around. If you missed more than 2, you might really benefit from some fitness and nutrition education. Either way, Wellness Consulting may be for you!
