Medical myths?

December 27th, 2007 -- Posted in Ramblings | 2 Comments »

I’ve heard most of these. I’m not certain I agree with the reading speculation. According to the article reading in dim light really won’t damage your eyes, at least permanently. It seems to make sense that if you strain your eyes enough that there will be damage. I’ve always heard that cutting your hair will help it grow. I wonder if that is true and it is just the shaving myth that isn’t?

Reading in dim light won’t damage your eyes, you don’t need eight glasses of water a day to stay healthy and shaving your legs won’t make the hair grow back faster…

Eating turkey makes you drowsy

We use only 10 percent of our brains

Hair and fingernails continue to grow after death

Cell phones are dangerous in hospitals

I think some people use less than 10 percent and they are the ones who are dangerous when using their cell phones in hospitals. But that’s just my opinion. Have you heard these? Believe it? Think the research is simply showing what they want us to see?

in a society where supersize-it is thought of as a good thing…remember this victim of supersize syndrome. remember being little and filling up that buffet plate? (ok, maybe it was last week even.) you get half way thru and you feel like kitty here. you want to pass out in your kibbles. as gran would say, “your eyes are bigger than you stomach”. so, here’s the moral of the story…dont let your eyes be bigger than your stomach. there is no need to supersize it. there is no need to put yourself in a position to end up face down in your kibbles from over-eating. moderation people! moderation. slow down, and listen to your body. don’t be another statistic…another victim of supersize syndrome. better yet, ditch the fast food burger altogether…maybe just have a really good salad!
