Myths about the human body
As you know, we should not believe everything they say, but sometimes we go a little naive. Some well settled down myths about how the human body functions, looks convincing, but in fact completely wrong.
New myths arise every day. Let's look at some of them before you repeat it to others.
Whatever you say to a child, if you squint, they will not stay in that position forever.
Read in the dark is not harmful to vision, although it is more difficult than in the light. In the retina there are two kinds of light-sensitive cells - rods and cones. When reading in the dark eyes beginning to use chopsticks instead of cones, making it difficult to read.
Eating carrots in large quantities does not improve eyesight.
"We use only 10 percent of the brain" - this statement is not entirely true. In fact, we are using all available resources, but just not simultaneously.
On digestion of ingested gum is not required to 7 years. It is derived in the same way as coins and toy soldiers, who are sometimes swallowed children.
Gender of the child can not be determined by the way high or low is the belly of a pregnant woman. Matches may lead one to believe that there is a pattern, but it is mistaken.
Professional cleaning plaque from the teeth do not hurt them, quite the contrary!
Cold shower does not reduce sexual desire. Shock may slightly deflect, but not much else.
The biological clock is ticking not only women. The ability of man to conceive a child for life is saved, but with age, the likelihood of problems increases.
Hair does not grow faster than the fact that they cut. So it may seem, but in fact the hair grows at the same rate.
You do not earn arthritis, cracking his knuckles. But the annoyance of friends certainly invoke.
Food after eight in the evening does not lead to weight gain. Metabolism does not change, so that refusal to eat at night simply reduce the number of calories consumed.
There are a million ways to get rid of hiccups, but attempts to scare much hiccupping give nothing.
Safe sunbathing does not exist. A Ultraviolet rays used in tanning salons, as dangerous as the rays of B.
