Some Health Myths, Exposed-PART:1

                                                Don’t be fooled by these health myths.

1. Cracking your fingers cause arthritis :- 

When you crack your fingers, you’re pulling your joints apart. This stretch causes an air bubble to form in the fluid, which eventually pops, creating that familiar sound. Cracking your knuckles isn’t necessarily good for you, though. But the habit itself won’t give you arthritis — at least not according to clinical studies.


2. It takes 7 years for gum to digest if you swallow it :- 

Nope. Gum is mostly indigestible, but the occasional swallowed piece will pass through your intestines and exit the other side, just like anything else you eat that your body doesn't need and can't digest.



3. Going out with wet hair gets you sick :- 

This myth is absolutely absurd. Leaving the house just after a shower isn’t going to make you sick unless you are already sick it can cause the onset of symptoms .



4. Starving Yourself” Can Be Effective for Weight Loss:- 

Eating too little or starving yourself is a very bad idea and it actually leads to rebound weight gain. Eat a balanced out low-calorie diet, that will help you to lose weight.



5. Antiperspirants and deodorants can cause cancer:-

 The National Cancer Institute says that there is no known evidence that these chemicals can cause cancer, and the Food and Drug Administration has similarly dispelled the notion that parabens can affect estrogen levels, and thus lead to cancer.



6. Drinking alcohol in any amount dumbs you down:-

 Alcohol, when misused, can impair your judgment and seriously affect your health. Drinking small to moderate amounts doesn’t alter cognitive ability, working memory, or motor skills in young adults.

Some Health Myths, Exposed-PART:2

  1. It's good to go on a detox to cleanse your body of toxins:-   Detox diets, juices and treatments are hugely popular, but the very idea that we can take steps to detox our own bodies is a myth. From a medical point of view, there is no need for anyone to detox their systems, as our bodies are built to get rid of toxins way better than any diet or treatment can. Probably the best way to protect your body’s detoxification process would be to take care of the liver and the kidney, which are the body’s main organs in detoxification. 2. Eating food within 5 seconds of dropping it on the floor is safe:-  yes yes I am talking about 5 min rule. It's the worst when something you really wanted to eat falls on the floor. But if you grab it in five seconds, it's ok, right?The five-second-rule isn't a real thing. Bacteria can contaminate a food within milliseconds. Mythbusting tests show that moist foods attract more bacteria than dry foods, but there's no "safe dura...
