Sometimes, preconceived ideas about healthy eating can be hard to get rid of, but so often we deprive ourselves of too much because of them.有时候，关于健康饮食的先入为主的观念很难摆脱，而我们往往会因为这些观念而失去了太多的东西。Do you often hear that snacks are bad for you?Today, we have collected 10 misunderstandings about eating health. Let us expose the true colors of these rumors one by one!今天，我们搜集了10个有关饮食健康的认知误区，一起揭露这些错误的面具吧！
Correct 1. Eating after 6 pm is bad for your healthThis superstition is as old as the hills.With our pace of life, having a meal after 6 pm is not just healthy — it s common sense.在我们的生活节奏下，晚上6点以后吃个饭，不仅健康，而且是常识。Many people today go to bed later than our ancestors did, and starving may damage your health.现今大部分人比我们的祖先睡得更晚，饥饿可能会损害你的健康。The truth is that you shouldn t eat three hours before going to bed, and the dinner should be light.实际上只有睡前三小时不宜进食，晚餐应以清淡为主就可以了。Correct 2. Fat is harmfulFat is often considered bad for your health and shape, but it s not exactly true.脂肪通常被认为对健康和身材有害，但这并不完全正确。You can t digest food normally without it.It helps metabolize vitamins A and E, and if there s not enough fat in your body, it almost stops producing hormones.它能帮助代谢维生素A和E，如果体内脂肪不足，人体几乎停止产生激素。Lack of fats also result in your skin ageing faster and damage being done to your liver.缺乏脂肪也会导致你的皮肤加速衰老，对肝脏造成损害。That s why you should limit your consumption of vegetable oil, for instance, but not exclude it completely.这就是为什么你应该控制植物油的摄入量，但并不是完全排除植物油。The best idea would be to eat less food that contains hidden and usually unhealthy fat, such as sausages, mayonnaise, cookies or cakes.最好的办法是少吃含有隐性脂肪和通常不健康的食物，如香肠、蛋黄酱、饼干或蛋糕等。
Correct 3. Snacks are unhealthyIf you care about your health, you should top up your energy from time to time.However, these refills should be balanced: have some nuts or fruit, for example.不过，这些补给品应该是平衡的：比如说，要有一些坚果或水果。Correct 4. All organic food is healthyProducts marked as organic (i.e., produced with no GMO, pesticides, or additives) are often no different from their common counterparts except for their high cost.标注为 有机 （即不含转基因生物、农药或添加剂）的产品，除了成本较高外，往往与普通同类产品无异。
Correct 5. Carbohydrates should be avoidedThere are simple and complex carbs, and the former are really due for cutting.You can find them in sugar, chocolate, honey, jam, sweet fruits and drinks, white bread, and potatoes.你可以在糖、巧克力、蜂蜜、果酱、甜水果和饮料、白面包和土豆中找到它们。However, if you want to eat healthy, have more complex carbs, such as grains, beans, berries, vegetables, and greens.但是，如果你想吃得健康，可以多吃一些复杂的碳水化合物，如谷物、豆类、浆果、蔬菜和绿色蔬菜。
Correct 6. Fruit and vegetables are useless after refrigerationModern freezing technologies allow you to preserve almost all of these food products healthy elements.现代冷冻技术可以让您保存几乎所有这些食品的健康元素。Correct 7. Separating nutrients helps you lose weightThe enzymes produced by the digestive tract are capable of handling proteins, fats, and carbs all at the same time.消化道产生的酶能够同时处理蛋白质、脂肪和碳水化合物。There is no scientific evidence that separating them helps in any way.People who choose this diet are usually just very thorough when picking foods; they cut the energy consumption and so they in turn lose weight.选择这种饮食法的人通常只是在挑选食物时非常仔细;它们减少了能源消耗，反过来也减轻了体重。
Correct 8. Brown bread is healthier than white breadIf the bread is brown, it doesn t necessarily have a lot of fiber.The healthy brown color could be due to caramel in the dough.The energy contained in brown bread is almost the same as in white bread, and you could gain weight in either case.黑面包所含的能量几乎和白面包一样，无论哪种情况都可能增重。The healthier kinds are whole-grain breads or crispy breads.
Correct 9. Juices are as beneficial as the fruit themselvesJuice has next to no fiber, and the amount of vitamins and minerals is significantly lower in the juice than in the fruit itself.果汁几乎没有纤维素，而且果汁中的维生素和矿物质含量明显低于水果本身。That s why it is better to eat fresh fruit whenever you can.
Correct 10. Sushi and rolls are diet foodIf you just eat sushi and rolls, you probably won t gain much weight.However, white rice used to make these foods is not the healthiest of products.The real culprits are soy sauce, mayonnaise, and fatty cheese — products that will make you gain weight in no time.
真正的罪魁祸首是酱油、蛋黄酱和肥腻的奶酪--这些产品会让你在短时间内变胖。
