Lisa and Kadee's Response To Common Nutrition & Fitness Myths

1. Myth: Heavy Lifting Makes You Bulky
   Fact: Strength training is crucial for maintaining muscle mass, bone density, and overall health, particularly for women as they age. Consistent weight training leads to a toned and strong physique rather than bulkiness.
2. Myth: All Sugars Are Equal
   Fact: It's a myth that all sugars have the same impact on the body. The importance lies in distinguishing between processed sugars and natural forms like those found in fruits. Processed sugars can lead to inflammation and health issues, while natural sugars, such as those from berries, are less likely to cause harm and can be part of a healthy diet in moderation.
3. Myth: Gluten is Bad for Everyone
   Fact: While gluten has become a dietary villain in recent years, it’s not inherently bad for everyone. Unless someone has celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity, eliminating gluten may not be necessary. The key is listening to your body and making dietary choices based on your own health needs rather than following blanket dietary trends.
4. Myth: Detoxes Must Involve Starvation
   Fact: There is a widespread belief that detoxing means severe calorie restriction or fasting. An effective detox can include eating nourishing, satisfying foods. A 5-day reset program allows for plenty of nutritious food intake to cleanse the body without the downsides of feeling deprived or hungry.
5. Myth: Stretching is the Best Way to Alleviate Back Pain
   Fact: Many people actually need to strengthen their muscles rather than stretch them to alleviate back pain. In many cases, back pain is caused by weak muscles, and strengthening techniques, such as those used in Pilates, can provide more long-term relief and stability.
