People don’t really fact-check the health tips they share, which unfortunately means that there are a lot of bogus fitness facts to sift through. Fortunately for you, these posts from a Reddit thread about inaccurate health beliefs will help open your eyes.

To put it very simply, his advice was, “Probably don’t drink stuff beyond water (sodas, alcohol, energy drinks, sports drinks, etc). Play a ton of basketball, and the weight tends to stay off.” Although these tips seem too simple, they’re backed by a whole body of evidence, especially the point about drinks. Science has shown that increased consumption of sugary beverages can increase weight gain and lead to a higher risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular problems, and some cancers.

To dive even deeper into the world of health and fitness, Bored Panda interviewed Vinod Channa, a celebrity trainer and fitness consultant. Vinod had this to share about the effect of hormones on exercise: “Male hormones and female hormones are both different. Women produce estrogen, which is why they have more adipose tissue that stores fat. That’s why they’re soft, so they are prone to injuries. Women must do more strength training to build up their muscles and their joints.”

Research has also shown that tracking your diet and exercise can help with weight loss because it leads to positive behavior changes and increases motivation. “The other thing is the person’s target. If somebody’s looking for running, powerlifting, flexibility, according to that, the changes happen in the workout routine, how many calories they eat, and the reaction of the body,” Vinod shared.

According to Vinod Channa, “[people] can create different patterns of workouts, which work on the body parts as a whole. Otherwise, what will happen is you’re doing only arms or upper chest, and the back and legs will get weaker. Before starting, you always have to work on basic mobility and flexibility that will help you to perform better and move faster without any muscle wear and tear, dislocations and injuries.”

“It’s because your body is used to that and you need to keep progressing. That is also very important. If you don’t keep progressing, you won’t get results. So you have to [go] back two steps. Whatever you’re doing, do less. Like if you’re doing five days workout, go only three days and let your body put on two to three kilos. After that, you have to add one day extra workout and decrease one meal and see how your body reacts,” he added.
