They say take care of your body as it is the place where you have to live. But How? This is a very common question that we generally hear. How can we keep our body healthy and happy? There are several theories and researches that say eating right can lead you to achieve your goal of healthy living. Health is like money, we really don’t value it until we start losing it. Mahatma Gandhi has always said, it is health that is the real worth. But then there are many things that we hear and tend to believe being cautious towards our health. We often hear things from friends, family, relative or read it online or somewhere and start believing them. Not only do we believe such things, we also pass on to others. Like old habits, such health rumours are hard to shake off. So today, we are here, to help you relax and know some health rumours that we have often heard and have started believing.
Here are top 3 health rumours you seriously need to stop believing.
1. Pregnant Women Cannot Eat Fish:
You were seriously believing that so far? NO. Though there are a number of things that a pregnant woman must avoid eating and drinking, but at the same time a pregnant woman can easily eat major types of fishes without any worries. A study at the American Journal of Epidemiology has proved that it is beneficiary for the IQ development of the child if mother during pregnancy eats three to four servings of fish every week. Though it suggests not eating fishes with higher mercury like the swordfish, shark, king mackerel, and tilefish.
2. Underwire Bras Cause Cancer:
Nuh-Uh! People might say that wearing underwire bras are not healthy for a girl because it compresses the lymphatic system of the breast, making toxins build up which can further lead to breast cancer. No people. The realty is absolutely opposite to this. Recent study has shown that neither the type of bra that you wear, nor the amount of time you wear it for, has to do anything with any sort of cancer or any other health problem.
3. Cracking Knuckles Causes Arthritis:
Say what? This is absolute rubbish. Oh no don’t stop, continue doing it until it’s not painful. Researches have proved that people with this habit and without this habit have no difference in the probability of developing arthritis. Both stand equal chances.
