10 Amazing Inventions In Health Sector
Myth: Exercising On An Empty Stomach Burns More Calories
There is a little truth in that. Your body will burn a little more of fat rather than carbs when you work out on an empty stomach as there is no enough carbohydrate to burn. So, don't expect miraculous weight loss when you work out on an empty stomach as the overall calorie burnt is almost the same.
Myth: Drinking Water Helps To Lose Weight
It is only true if you eat less after drinking water. If you are taking the same calories irrespective of drinking water then there will not be any weight loss. However, if you are replacing all your calorie rich sugary drinks with water then there can be weight loss.
Myth: Spicy Foods Boost Metabolism
Spicy foods may increase body temperature and cause a slight increase in heartbeat but they can't increase or decrease the rate of metabolism. The calories in your bodies are burnt at a rate which is determined by your age, body weight, height, thyroid gland condition and your gender, also. So don't gulp on spicy foods to lose body weight.
Myth: Colon Cleansing Products
Normally people say that fecal matter stick to the walls of colon so many bacteria and toxins accumulate on the walls of colon. There is a need to cleanse all the bacteria from the colon else it can cause infection. This cannot be true if you are passing bowels regularly and have no constipation problem. Therefore, there is no need of colon cleansing products which can do more harm than good.
Myth: Eye Make-Up Causes Sinusitis
Wearing an eye-make up poses no risk like that. Some people fear that eye make-up can go into the sinus cavities through the eyes. However, your tears glands flush out all make-up residues that enter the eyes. If you get an eye itching, inflammation and irritation after application of eye make-up then this may be due to the allergy caused by the product..
Myth: Cracking Knuckles Cause Arthritis
It does not cause arthritis. The cause for arthritis is genetic and is also caused due to progressing age. However , it is a very annoying habit and can cause hand swelling and weaker hand grip.
Myth: Eating After 8 Pm Causes Weight Gain
It is a common myth that the rate of metabolism decreases during night. Weight gain is mostly determined by how much you eat and not at what time you eat. If you will eat less during night then there will be no weight gain.
