However, the fact is that it is meant for removing those foods that you are intolerant or have allergies to it. Getting rid of those foods will not help in losing weight.

Focus on exercise than food for weight loss

It is a matter of debate, and it is going on for years; however, the opposite is true. The reason is that dieting is more effective than exercise since it takes a lot of activity for creating 500 to 700 daily calorie deficits that you will require for losing a kilo in a week by doing exercise.

 However, it does not mean that exercise is not important, but you must also eat well when on the road to losing weight.

Don’t eat before bedtime to prevent weight gain

You don’t have to take this advice seriously as some studies suggest just the opposite. Eating some snacks right before bedtime will make you feel satiated, and you will eat less overall.

Consume sports drink to get rid of hangover

Sports drinks might help you to get hydrated, and some of them can replace the electrolytes such as potassium, magnesium, chloride, phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium and help in regulating fluids levels in the body. However, a hangover is not linked to electrolyte imbalance. Sports drinks might help you to rehydrate, but it won’t help you to cure your hangover.

Don’t worry about the flu shot

If someone tells you that the flu vaccine is not important, it’s completely wrong. The flu shot can prevent flu and a few other conditions for years and lowers the risk of complications of developing a serious disease. Hence, you should get your flu shot.
