You should focus on true signs of progress such as doing more reps, lifting more, seeing change in the mirror, with a scale, tape measure, etc. Myth 2: You Can Reduce A Specific Area By Exercising That Area There is no such thing as "spot reducing", you can't choose an area in which the reduction will occur. For example, doing crunches will strengthen your abdominal muscles but will not take fat off of your stomach. Only eating correctly along with cardio exercise will reduce and it will reduce over the whole body not just one area. Myth 3: Milk Does A Body Good Besides man, no other species drinks milk beyond infancy or drinks the milk of another species. Milk is high in sodium, fat and cholesterol. Milk products are a very likely cause for obesity and many health problems such as allergies, digestive problems, bloating, gas, cramps, vomiting, headaches, rashes, asthma, irregular heartbeats, high cholesterol, headaches, fatigue, etc. If you want to lose fat, feel better and be healthy cut out all milk products. Myth 4: Grains Are Healthy The percentage of overweight and obesity in the US soared from only 14% to a whopping 66% since the new grain-based food pyramid was introduced. Over consumption of grains has also been linked to many health issues such as: insulin resistance, hypoglycemia, diabetes, allergies, headaches, fatigue, gas, bloating, chronic aches, inflammatory bowel disease, leaky gut syndrome, heart disease, bladder disease, degenerative bone diseases, auto-immune diseases, etc. If you want to look better, feel better and have more energy? Try removing all wheat and grain foods and replacing them with fresh, raw, organic vegetables and fruits. Along with free-range, grass fed organic meats and wild caught fish. Myth 5: Medicines Can Make You Healthy These days every time you turn on the TV you see ads for medicines to treat everything including pain, high cholesterol, fear, sadness, etc. In these ads they are very clear that these medicines only treat symptoms and also have some serious side effects. There is a real reason for everything, so if you have a headache and take a painkiller, you have only masked a symptom - the headache is still there but you are just numb so you don't feel it. So what happens? You don't find the real cause and you have to take painkillers all the time and you make big pharma very happy, while the side effects cause you more problems. But if you found the real cause such as the headache was being caused by food allergies and you stopped eating that food, then you are pain free and have no reason to take any medicine. The same is true of your emotions, we are told that depression may be caused by a chemical imbalance, however, there is absolutely no evidence to support it. Recent reviews of the research have demonstrated no link between depression, or any other mental disorder, and an imbalance of chemicals in the brain. Recently American psychiatric Association President Steven Sharfstein admitted that there is no way to test for a "chemical imbalance" as the cause for mental disorders. Also recent studies have shown the ineffectiveness of antidepressants when compared to placebos. The U.S. FDA has been forced to warn that psychiatric medications can and do cause worsening depression, mania, aggression, psychosis, depersonalization, diabetes, hallucinations, suicidal and homicidal thoughts, heart attack, stroke and sudden death. Note: It can be dangerous to suddenly stop taking some medicines, if you wish to stop find a doctor that will help wean you off. The bottom line is - long-term use of medicines will worsen your health, but proper nutrition, exercise and finding the real reasons for things and not just covering up symptoms will keep you healthy and happy.
