Time and again we get struck between what is to believe and what not, there are some old sayings of grandmother and new assumption of society aunties which are imposed on everyone and said to be a fact.

Well, it’s quite difficult to correct the sayings, let’s pull out some of the biggest myths in our daily life and clarify what they actually mean.

Mentioned below the list of top 6 common myths in our daily life, starting from the epic one which you must have heard almost 100 times at your home :

It’s a big myth, the common cold is caused by harmful germs and virus which has no connection with the temperature outside. Cold is something which happens to every second person of the universe and yes it is not necessary to occur in winters, it do occur in summers and even when we are in most comfortable conditions.

It’s the worst saying which almost ruined cute outings in college days, fried food or chocolates have nothing to do with skin problems, all your skin issues are maximum related to your hormones or some skin allergy. it’s correct to avoid fried food for staying healthy but for being pimple-free consult the dermatologist and Don’t forget to grab that tempting pastry next time.

This has spoilt may happening pool parties and schedules as people are told to wait for some time after eating if they want a quick dive in the pool! It is true that any type of vigorous activity after eating can be harmful but not declared dangerous yet, we often on a vacation have chips, sandwiches while enjoying in the pool, even that does not make any difference. If worried about cramps then they can happen any time you need not spoil your Sunday afternoon for that. 

Wow that seems to be hilarious! Who ever told this may be unaware of the fact that your heart stops only when you are declared dead. Heart functions all the time whether we are awake or in deep sleep, at the time of sneezing heart can start beating irregularly but can never stop.

This saying is dragging it’s existence since we were born, this was somehow true in the initial period of television invention because the TV at that time emitted high radiance which might end up harming eyes but today’s television are relatively secured and radiation free. Still if your eyes hurt while watching on screens or reading in dim light then you must go check with a doctor!

This one is the heftiest misconception, the reason behind this was- one should consume 8 glasses of fluid in a day, not necessarily water, the maximum amount of fluid comes from the food we eat. So drink when you feel thirsty and do not let a dehydration state hit you and that is enough to skip 8 glasses rule!
