SOME MYTHS DE-BUNKED

Drink 8 Glasses of Water a Day

No need to count cups. Research shows people who drink a glass of water when they’re thirsty get enough to stay healthy and hydrated. Water-rich foods like soup, fruit, and vegetables and drinks like juice, tea, and coffee all help you get your fill of the water needed for the day. You might need to drink more water if your urine is dark yellow, you don’t go regularly, you're very active, or you live in a hot climate.

 Eggs Have Always Been Thought As Bad for Your Heart
Egg lovers can be happy after reading this. Eating an egg or two a day doesn’t raise the risk of heart disease in healthy people. Yes, the yolks have cholesterol, but for most of us, the amount found in any one food isn’t as bad for you as the mix of fats from everything you eat. What’s more, eggs have nutrients, like omega-3s, that may lower the risk of heart disease.
 

Antiperspirant And Breast Cancer ?

Some scientists think the chemicals found in antiperspirants and deodorants can be absorbed through your underarm. The idea is they end up in breast tissue and make tumors more likely. But the National Cancer Institute says there’s no evidence connecting either product with breast cancer.
 

Being Cold Gives You a Cold

Spending too much time in the cold air doesn’t make you sick. One study found that healthy men who spent several hours in temperatures just above freezing point had an increase in healthy, virus-fighting activity in their immune systems. In fact, you’re more likely to get sick indoors, where germs are easily passed, as many germs may not survive in such freezing temperatures !

Do We Need  Multivitamin Tablets Daily?

Many people think that popping a multi-vitamin pill is good, as our diets lack various nutrients. Researchers don’t all agree on that point. But if your doctor tells you to take vitamin, do it. If you’re pregnant, you need to take folic acid to lower the risk of birth defects.The best method to get your nutrients is to eat a diet filled with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, proteins from lentils and fish and healthy oils.
 

Eat  (Or Skip) Breakfast to Lose Weight?

Eating breakfast does help some people lose weight, as it can stave off hunger, and it might prevent random  binge eating later in the day. But, if you’re not a breakfast fan, you can still slim down. A study found that the non-breakfast crowd didn’t overeat at lunch and dinner, and they ate about 400 fewer calories a day. The crunch line: Skipping breakfast may help some healthy people shed pounds, it all depends on each one's metabolism !

Green Mucus Means Infection

Studies show that green or yellow mucus is slightly more common in certain bacterial infections. But it’s not a sure sign that you have one or that you need antibiotics. A sinus infection can cause clear mucus, and a common cold can turn it green. So, don't go by the color of the mucus, but by other tests and symptoms.

Sugary Foods Make Kids Hyper ?

Sugar isn’t good for kids, but research shows the sweet stuff won’t cause them to act out, hurt their schoolwork, or make them unable to focus. Since many parents believe there’s a link, though, they expect their kids to behave badly after eating sugary food and believe so, if it happens, But surely there is no link between the two. But, as we all know that too much of sugary foods are bad for teeth and makes you fat, so from that angle, best to avoid too much sugary foods.

A Toilet Seat Can Make You Sick As There Are Germs?

Don’t stress if you can’t cover the seat. Toilet seats are usually pretty clean -- it’s bathroom doors, door handles, and floors that tend to be covered with bugs like E. coli, norovirus or stomach flu bug, and the flu. Cover your hand with a paper towel before you touch doors or handles, and use hand sanitizer or wash afterwards with soap before you do anything else.

Cracking Joints And Arthritis?

The sound of cracking joints might annoy people around you, but that’s about all the harm it does. You may think bones or joints rub together to cause the noise, but that’s not so. It results from a gas bubble that forms between the bones and “pops.” If you enjoy doing it, continue. Studies show it doesn’t cause or play a role in arthritis. If you feel severe pain when you do it, see your doctor.
