Scientists have disproved the myths about the benefits and harms health
|
Scientists the University of Indiana in Indianapolis American state tried to dispel some myths about what is harmful and what is good for our health.
For example, people taught childhood to think that read in dim light - is harmful to view.
Virtually every young girl friend senior warn that as soon as it begins to shave legs, hair on them will grow even faster.
Or, for example, many believe that people, on average, will only 10% of the capacity of the human brain.
However, a study of American scientists do not support either of these assumptions. According to them, some of the myths not have a scientific basis.
For example, the widespread view that drink eight glasses of water a day - good for health, so far nothing has been confirmed by practical experience.
On the contrary, studies have shown that the appropriate balance of fluid in the body does not help observe water, juices, milk and even tea or coffee.
Moreover, scientists warn that too many coffee water can be dangerous to the human body.
The belief that people only 10% use the possibility of the brain, scientists also called scientifically unjustified myth.
Observations of patients with brain injuries have shown that damage any part of the brain the same way adversely affect mental abilities, vegetative system and the manner of conduct passes.
Thus, the scientists argue that the human brain does not have a single unencumbered or functional area.
It is generally believed that a dead human hair and nails continue to grow for several hours after death.
However, scientists argue that such an impression because muscles and the skin is compressed dead person, and against this background hair and nails look longer.
To nail and hair growth, experts say, requires the normal hormonal system, which stops at the moment of death.
According to the scientific report Rachel Vreeman, the same optical illusion and deception make women believe that when the legs are often shave their hair grow faster and become more dense and dark.
The fact is that shaved hair sprout again without translucent "cap" on the tip of hair, which was originally, and thus it seems that become darker hair and thick.
Previously, it was thought that turkey meat contains a greater amount of the substance tryptophan, and therefore, eating lunch on a piece of turkey, klonitsya man begins to sleep. But new studies have proven that this is not the case. The meat chicken and turkey, as well as beef contain the same amount of tryptophan and totally harmless to health.
Nonetheless, the scientists argue that myths, which remain in the hands of many people, but are baseless, could not harm those who strictly they should.
