So
many myths have been promoted as truth for years, so separating health
facts from fallacies can be quite complicated. Here are some of the
myths about various mainstream health issues that people continue to
trust them as truth.
1. Saturated fats and cholesterol are one of the main reasons for heart attack Mostly
people think that saturated fat and cholesterol have adverse effects on
their health and so are not good to have them. There has been no
scientific evidence which shows that they cause heart attack. Rather,
as per studies, animal and vegetable saturated fats are actually good
for health as they contain nutrients and vitamins which aid in the
production of new cells and hormones necessary for body to function
properly.
2. Eating saturated fat will lead to weight gain and obesity It is
merely a myth that eating saturated fat leads to weight gain. However,
replacing saturated fats with trans-fat can help in obesity, diabetes
and heart diseases. Regular exercise and excess sugar in diet can be the
possible reasons for weight gain and chronic heart disease.
3. Soy is healthy food and can enhance your diet Unfermented
soy can cause breast cancer and other diseases as it contains plan
estrogens. It is responsible for other major health issues like
malnutrition, thyroid problems, digestive disorders, reproductive
disorders or more. Only organic soy and properly fermented soy can be
helpful to you.
4. Eggs contain unhealthy cholesterol that can cause heart problems If eaten
in moderate quantity, eggs do not increase the cholesterol levels or
cause heart attack. On the other hand, eating eggs help you improving
your diet and give you ample amount of require nutrition.
5. Mild exercise and a moderate active lifestyle will keep you unhealthy and fit Although
mild exercises are good, these are not sufficient for your total
fitness. Your body needs to do some vigorous exercises in order to get
your heart pumped, increase blood circulation and strengthen your bones.
Vigorous exercises also help improving motor skills and give you the
energy to perform you’re your chores at top capacity.
6. Microwave cooking leaks radiation compounds into your food Microwave
cooking is no different from other cooking method which involves heat.
It does not release any compounds. The only thing that you should keep
in your mind is to avoid plastic containers while using microwave which
can be harmful. Go for only microwave containers to cook food in
microwave.
7. Drinking milk when you have cold will produce more phlegm Recent
experiments of giving milk to cold patients did not help them and had no
effect in the production of phlegm, coughs and congestion. Thus, it is
just a myth about milk.
8. To reduce back pain, it’s important to sleep on a very firm mattress. If your
mattresses are too firm, then it may lead to discomfort in your
shoulders, hips and back. Therefore, using firm mattresses is not a good
idea. You can go for medium-firm mattresses as it will help giving you
better support and comfortable sleep. 9. Cold weather causes colds and flues Contrary
to this, cold weather doesn’t cause cold and flues. These are caused
due to viruses in the environment. However, cold can increase the spread
of germs of cold.
10.Reading in dim or subdued lighting damages your eyes As per a
research conducted in University Of Indiana School Of Medicine, it is
not true that reading in dim light damages your eyes. It just causes
temporary eye strain or soreness, not permanent.
