Lies you may have heard about your health
Due to the importance of health, we read articles, articles, etc. in news sources that may not be true. It is interesting to know that 90% of the things we hear about our health are not true. Without a doubt, we should not believe everything we hear. In this article, we are going to introduce you to some of these false beliefs.
Cleaning is obligatory for all people. One of the tasks related to grooming is shaving the excess hair. Some people believe that shaving makes the hair thicker.
Lies about your health
Shaving makes the hair thicker and darker
Shaving the hair from near the root means that when the hair is cut, you will see the diameter of the hair cylinder bigger. Therefore, it may temporarily appear darker and thicker.
You lose most of your body heat through your head
The rate at which heat is lost in each part depends on the surface of that part of the body and a little more on the exposure of its skin to the environment. The head is covered with skin as much as other parts of the body such as hands or feet. During an experiment, people were asked to wear different clothes in a cold room. The result of the study was that from polar Eskimos clothes to bathing suits, all of them make the rate of heat escape from each part of the body to be almost equal to the other parts. There is nothing special about your head and there is no reason why a hat should make you warmer than other clothing.
Urine is sterile
Sure, urine can be clear and transparent, but scientists have found out during an experiment that women’s urine carries at least 85 types of bacteria. Although these tests are not yet complete, there is no reason why men’s urine should be different. However, some bacteria in urine can be beneficial, and understanding what researchers call the urinary microbiome can help doctors treat related problems.
If you follow the 5 second rule, you will not get sick
The five second rule says that if you drop food on the floor, if you pick it up from the floor (or any other contaminated surface) within 5 seconds or less, there is no problem and you can eat it. But it must be said that the amount of bacteria that sticks to your food has nothing to do with how long it has been on the ground. Of course, this issue also depends on the type of food and the level of contact.
For example, a wet and sticky surface causes more contamination of food than a dry surface. Bacteria sitting on smooth surfaces stick to your food more easily than surfaces like wood or thick carpet. Bacteria can survive on surfaces for up to a week, and if food falls on a surface, bacteria will attach to it almost immediately.
If you have a habit of eating food that has fallen on the floor and you don’t get diarrhea or heartache, you should thank your strong immune system or your clean house, not your speed.
If you sleepwalk, you will be like a ticking time bomb
A person who is walking in his sleep may be startled or surprised if you shake him at that time. But don’t worry that you have given him a heart attack, a stroke or some other serious problem. In fact, walking in one’s sleep is one of the unconscious actions of a person, and sometimes waking a person can save him from falling and hurting himself. The best thing to do is if you see someone sleepwalking, gently lead them to their bed.
You only use 10% of your brain
No one is quite sure who first used this phrase. Of course, it is assumed that a speaker uttered this sentence. But why some people still insist on the truth of this issue is not understandable. We all love the idea that we have untapped potential and what great things would happen if we could use all of our brains.
Brain scans, although they cannot show a large area, from the dark area of hidden nerve cells show that, almost all of your brain is working all the time, and brain damage anywhere in the white matter or Gray brain causes significant effects.
