However, both mangoes and bananas are considered to be heavy and fattening fruits. However, you should note that an average mango contains only half the calories you can get from a single piece of cake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mangoes and <\/span><b>bananas<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are loaded with nutrients that build immunity and are high on fibre. However, both these fruits also have a high sugar content. Which is why people with diabetes and high blood sugar should eat these fruits in moderation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Myth 2: Chilled liquids help you cool down<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you consume liquids at a cold temperature it slows down your digestion. This increases the toxins in your body. This is why you should consider drinking liquids that are only slightly cool or at room lower temperature. You can also consider drinking fresh lime juice with mint leaves and sabja seeds to keep your body cool.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Myth 3: Watermelons are not nutritious <\/b><img class=\"img-responsive\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Watermelons-are-not-nutritious.jpg\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watermelons are cooling and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">healthy summer food<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that we all enjoy. However, because of its cooling properties its nutritional properties are often ignored. Watermelons are a <\/span><b>hydrating food<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with low-calorie count. They are also a rich source of Vitamin C and lycopene which protects your skin from harsh sun rays.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Myth 4: Spicy and hot foods will make you feel hotter<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unless you live in humid conditions, a <\/span><b>warm cup of tea<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or coffee might be better for you than iced coffee or tea. When you drink a hot drink the heat inside your body escapes as sweat and evaporates in the heat, leaving your body cooler. This same logic also applies when you eat spicy foods that make you sweat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Myth 5: Skipping meals makes you feel lighter<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Skipping-meals-makes-you-feel-lighter.jpg\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you don\u2019t eat according to your hunger it increases the heat and acidity in your body.
