2. Reducing screen time is very important for a healthy body

#2 Baked products are not healthier than fried ones. Fried fish will not make you fat but you eat a fried samosa and you’ll put on weight because of the carbs and sugar in it. Even if you bake it, roast it, you will still get fat as it is not the oil that’s the problem, it is what you are frying that’s making you fat. In this case, it is the potato that is starchy and has no fibre.

#3 Vegetarian diet is not a complete diet. It has its own set of benefits but does not provide enough protein to your body. A glass of milk has only 1g of whey protein. If you want it through natural sources, you need to eat eggs, meat.

#4 You don’t need roti and rice in your meals. Grains are making India diabetic. 60% of our diet is grains. Whether they are polished, brown, or whole, it doesn’t matter. Brown rice or whole wheat is only slightly better than its white counterparts. Avoid starch in any form and your body will thank you for it. Also read these 10 other Indian diet myths.

#5 It is much better to eat processed cheese from the supermarket than eat cornflakes or wheatflakes. The word processed does not mean it is unhealthy. Cheese does not exist in nature, it is a dairy product that we’ve created using a process hence the word ‘processed’ is used.

#6 Fruits aren’t an important part of a healthy diet. A quote that beautifully sums it up is, ‘fruit is nature’s candy.’ It is still sugar. The only fruits that he recommends are berries, avocados. He also advises avoiding dried fruits such as raisins, anjeer, etc.
