In today's world everything is very quickly going to notice? Presumably, the widespread availability of the Internet, with its wonderful property immediately spread as the most important information and complete nonsense - and the second it seems to happen more often. For example, before we really understand the issue of "standing" desks as their use has been refuted!
Website will open a list of common beliefs in society, who have been errors.
1. You use the table at which we must be h3> This is the main "healthy" trend of the last couple of years. It is believed that sitting is bad, and the stand - it is useful. But is it? A recent long-term study, involving 4,000 adults, showed that the "stand-up" table does not reduce your chances of getting chronic diseases associated with a sedentary lifestyle.
On the other hand, as indeed will burn calories. So if you want to lose some weight, this experiment can be best for you.
2. Are you afraid to sit on the toilet in public places h3> In fact, "sex" viruses in general and HIV and herpes in particular not as tenacious as you think. After leaving a pleasant and warm human body, they die almost immediately. Even before their "boss" will leave the booth and out the door.
On this subject, conducted the study, and they all point to the fact that the most dangerous hours pathogens thus not transferred. In addition, your skin - an effective advocate and killer of all microbes.
The only exception are cases when you hurt yourself. If your feet or the pope have cuts, wounds or deep scratches, the public toilet really better be careful!
Or if you just disgusting.
3. You do not eat the bread h3> This is generally fashionable lately. From bread fattening - this time. And some people suffer from "gluten intolerance", the media would have us believe.
That's only if you dig deeper, it revealed that this strange allergy suffers no more than 1% of the population. All others suffer from bloating, flatulence and other problems associated with the intestine, not because of the bread!
4. Do you drink fruit juice h3> When you squeeze the juice, you are depriving fruit fiber - and it is a key ingredient that gives health, good mood and a feeling of satiety.
If you buy juice in cartons, then it gets worse: you charge more than vitamins and sugar. The result: a sharp sensation of hunger, frequent mood swings, chronic fatigue and loss of muscle mass.
Remember: fruits are beneficial only if they are, and not to drink!
5. You take a ton of vitamin C, "not to get sick» h3> Vitamin C could actually increase the effectiveness of your immune system. But the truth is that an excess of almost terrible deficit. The upper allowable limit consumption of this vitamin - 2000 mg per day. Any excess of this norm causes diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, headache, and a lot of other side effects.
6. Instead of whole eggs you eat only protein h3> «experts» Nutrition instilled in millions of people confidence that if egg yolks - is only one source of cholesterol. But more and more studies show that eggs, no matter how much you do not eat very little effect on its concentration in the blood.
So if you do not have problems with cardiovascular disease, can on this subject do not bathe.
7. You buy an antibacterial hand soap h3> Always wash your hands with disinfectant is not only useless, but also dangerous. After all, your body beneficial bacteria, no less than harmful.
Do not listen to advertisers. Buy the most ordinary soap and wash your hands only to them.
8. You take a multivitamin h3> Nearly half of American adults take a multivitamin every day! Here it is, the incredible power of advertising and commercial promotion! Nevertheless it, decades of research on the subject shows that from vitamin pills have no sense!
This does not mean that you do not need vitamins. But first, they should eat only fruits and vegetables that what is contained in the tablets is practically not absorbed. Secondly, the vast majority of us do not experience any deficiency in vitamins that we get enough of them from food.
9. You hold your breath when someone sneezes or coughs h3> When a person sneezes or coughs without covering his mouth at the same time, the bacteria from his mouth and nose, fired into the air at a speed of 80 to 350 km / h. So these are your efforts to save yourself ridiculous!
Just ask the man to cover his mouth. Or sneeze in the other direction!
10. Are you afraid of "crunch" knuckles h3> Until recently, no one understood the nature of this process. What the hell are the joints of some people so annoying pop? And why do they crackle you?
This is not a crunch. This is the sound of compressible gases, which give the flexibility of our joints.
And recent studies show that if your fingers "crackling" more than usual, then it is good.
Sin Kucuk, the lead researcher and a professor at the University of Alberta, explained: "We think that this is a sign of ill health. But the reality is quite the contrary: the louder crack compressive your fingers, the more they "lubricating gas." So, the less chance you have to know what arthritis ».
11. You periodically try different detox diet h3> No one should undergo the process of detoxification. This is another nonsense invented by marketers and charlatans!
If you have not been poisoned, then you already have a super-efficient filtration system is the most harmful substances that you absorb from food. It consists of two elements: the liver and kidneys. The kidneys continuously filter our blood, removing from it any waste from our diet. A liver processes all the chemicals that we ingest. They both have enough so that your body efficiently eliminates toxins.
12. You lean on fat-free products h3> One 8-year Harvard study, involving nearly 50 000 women, found that people who prefer products with low fat, no less likely to suffer from cancer and heart disease. Low-fat foods do not help them lose weight. A lack of healthy fats in the diet just makes you lethargic, sleepy and irritable.
13. You avoid food from the microwave h3> We've all heard that "microwave" destroys nutrients. Fortunately, this is nonsense! And that we are not talking, but the guys from Harvard!
What does the microwave? It uses wave energy to make food molecules to oscillate faster and thus increase their energy as heat.
Of course, this approach breaks down the nutrients. But this is due to the heating process itself, rather than with a method that is chosen for this. Microwave food you heated or gas stove - it does not matter.
