Health, fitness, and nutrition advice today might not be the same tomorrow. What experts may encourage now may be discourage tomorrow. Advice is always changing. For instance, it was said before by experts that eggs are not healthy and eating yolks is not good but today advice is different. Eggs are very healthy and eating yolks is encouraged.
Before 30 minutes a day, three times a week of exercise is recommended. Today, the number of hours increased, the recommendation is 150 to 300 hours a week, according to Philly. So, health, fitness and nutrition advice should not be fully trusted and should be considered as temporarily true, yet it should not be totally put away. Experts always have enough reasons for every conviction and they study much for it.
As health, fitness, and nutrition study is getting perfect. Its reliability is also getting perfect. Being always up-to-date with latest recommendations is still wise.
