Health Myths: Disproved By Doctors
Okay there are many health myths out there but I found this article which disproves seven of those myths. Doctors from the Indiana University School of Medicine conducted critical review on these myths using Medline and Google to find out if there is a shred of truth with these beliefs.
1. People should drink at least eight glasses of water a day
2. We use only 10% of our brains
3. Hair and fingernails continue to grow after death
4. Shaving hair causes it to grow back faster, darker, or coarser
5. Reading in dim light ruins your eyesight
6. Eating turkey makes people especially drowsy
7. Mobile phones create considerable electromagnetic interference in hospitals.
I bet you believed some of these, just like I did. I honesty try to drink eight glasses of water everyday but looks like it’s not really a requirement. Drink if you like not because you have to.
This certainly clears up some issues and dispels the fallacies that surround some medical and health beliefs. So let’s stop propagating these myths.
