Myth #3: Carbs are our enemies

What most people should remember is that there are different types of carbs, and not all of them are our enemies. So, maybe it’s about time to put this myth to bed, along with those extra pounds you blame on carbs. The truth is, our bodies need those carbs in order to survive and thrive.

Carbohydrates are essential to fuel our bodies with energy. Plus, they are also an excellent source of fiber and vitamins. Oftentimes, the term “carbs” gets mixed up with “refined carbs,” and probably that’s why most people assume that all carbs are bad.

If you opt for healthy sources of carbs such as quinoa, oats, bananas, beetroots, chickpeas, and apples, you’re good; but don’t ever say that carbs are our enemies because they are quite the opposite.
