Remember that myth that if you crack your knuckles too much that you will get inflammation of the joints in your hands, which is called arthritis. Or that silly one where if you go swimming after you eat, you can get cramps; yeah, that one is a myth also. Listed below are many rules that you probably grew up following that proven to be NOT true.
1. Swallowing gum stays in your stomach for approximately 7 years.
NOT TRUE. Gum gets picked up by fluids in your digestive system, and goes through your system within few days.
2.You need a full 8 hours of sleep to function correctly.
This rule is also wrong. Amount of hours of sleep a person needs varies on many factors like whether that person is sleep, is enduring some type of physical activity or going through stress.
3. Don't read in low lighted areas
The whole reading in dim light causes blindness, is not true. Yes reading in dim light might put some straining on your eyes and give you headaches, but does not do permanent damage to your eyes.
4. Sugar causes kids to jump on walls
Sugar does not affect children, that theory has been proven wrong.
5. The infamous "5 seconds" rule
A college student name Jillian Clark, found this being a myth. Germs don't have a stop watch on food that falls on the floor/ground.
6. Warm milk will make you go to sleep
The whole myth is psychological, just like sleeping with a stuff animal makes people go to sleep.
