The human body is an amazing thing. It can fight against disease, digesting food, and regulate all of your bodily functions automatically.
But there are things that hundreds of people believe the human body that are not true at all. In fact, you might believe some of these myths as well. Luckily for you, we're here to demystify for you today.
1. You can not lose weight because you have a slow metabolism.

Of course, you can not be naturally thin like those people who can eat fries and pizza all day without taking a ounce, but you can still maintain your desired body weight quite easily. This depends more on your goals and actions that any kind of personal bodily predisposition.
2. flat feet are prone to injury.

Studies show that people with flat feet are actually less prone to injury. People with normal or high arches are more susceptible to stress fractures and tensions.
3. Your metabolism slows as you age.

This is true, but not as radical as you might think. The real culprit here is your metabolism, but your body's ability to gain and maintain muscle mass. The metabolism slows down a bit, but not enough to make you earn insane amounts of weight or something like that. Your body just seems different because you can not keep all those massive muscles that you had in your twenties.
4. Shaving grows thicker and coarser hair.

This was technically debunked way back in 1928, but people still believe. This is actually just an optical illusion. When the hair grows back, it seems darker because it is perpendicular to your skin for a while until it is long enough to again flat. This gives it a coarser and thicker appearance.
5. You continue to burn calories after an intense cardio session.

If you are looking to burn calories, I'm sure you've heard that the best way to do this is through high intensity interval training (HIIT). While it is true that HIIT will burn more calories after the workout, the amount is so insignificant that you might as well stick to your regular (and less soul-crushing) cardio routine.
6. Healthy teeth are white.

The natural color of human teeth is yellow. pearly whites look nice, but they are not natural. In fact, the chemical bleaching done more harm than good. Blanch the actual enamel damage.
7. You can not gain muscle because you have a fast metabolism.

If you have a hard time building muscle, your metabolism is not to blame. Why lean people have more trouble putting on muscle is because they do not eat enough protein-rich food to do so. Eat more and you will see results. He can not do better than that, right?
8. You can suck the poison of a snake bite.

Suck the poison of a snake bite is actually quite dangerous. It can cause infection in the injured area and make things worse. Instead, you should wash the bite with soap and water, keep the bitten area lower than the heart, and consult a doctor.
9. Eat six small meals a day increases your metabolism.

The theory states that eating six small meals a day helps keep your metabolism going all day . Research shows that there is technically nothing wrong with eating six small meals, but it also finds that the body does not react to this meal plan much differently than eating three meals a day.
10. The cold air and wet hair will make you sick.

Your mother was wrong, okay? I know that's hard for you to accept, but hanging out in the cold or going to sleep with wet hair will not give you a cold. The virus associated with the common cold is actually all around you, waiting to strike at any time.
11. Eating certain foods will boost your metabolism.

Okay, it's pretty obvious that none of us understand how the metabolism works. I'm sure you've all heard the myth that eating cinnamon, red pepper, and similar foods will boost your metabolism. This is simply not true. It might give a temporary spike, but it will not lead to anything permanent.
12. You need eight hours of sleep per night.

Everyone needs a different amount of sleep, but the researchers concluded that the average person can do just fine on five or six hours of sleep per night. And sleep for more than eight hours can actually do more harm than good. Just do what feels best for you!
13. The reading in the dark night to you.

While reading in the dark cause eyestrain, it is nothing serious. Almost no permanent damage can occur when reading in the dark for long periods of time.
14. Fasting slows down your metabolism.

Seriously ... we could have just called the song "No One To understand their metabolism." studies show that you can go up to three days without food, without damaging your metabolism. It would take almost a week without food for your metabolism to undergo a radical change.
15. Pissing on a jellyfish sting felt better.

In laboratory tests, the urine actually makes the pain of a jellyfish sting even worse. Basically, nothing good can come to endure the bite and have your boyfriend pee on you.
16. Gaining muscle increases your metabolism.

muscle Winning does not boost your metabolism a lot, so if you pick up the weight for that one because, I'm sorry. If anything, the construction of a pound of muscle will help you burn approximately five calories.
