Strangest Health Myths Here are the top three myths that have been frequently quoted by all those ’smarter’ people around you ever since you were a kid. It’s finally time to get back at them.
- Myth No. 1: Drink eight glasses of water a day. In 1954 some report in the US told people to consume eight glasses of fluid daily. Before long, everyone across the world believed we needed eight glasses of water, in addition to what we eat and drink, every day. While water’s great - juice, tea, milk, fruits and vegetables — all contribute towards keeping you hydrated - you dont necessarily need that much water.
- Myth No. 2: Stress will turn your hair grayWhile most experts agree stress does age you inside and out - there is absolutely no scientific evidence to prove a bad day turns your locks silver.
- Myth No. 3: Reading in poor light ruins your eyes. Reading in dim light can strain your eyes, you tend to squint, and that can give you a headache. But you won’t do any permanent damage, except maybe cause crow’s-feet. And a good night’s rest will help recover the eyes fairly quikly.
