here is ANOTHER 10 BUSTED myths on health care

A continue on the previous busted myths

# Myth 11
Running on treadmill is better than running on trek for your knees
Truth be told that running on any ground will give the same impact to your knees. If your friends say that running on treadmill give less impact on your knees than running on trek nay!! Forget 'em. Try friendlier form of exercises to prevent impact on your knees such as cycling, brisk-walking or swimming

#Myth 12
Heat makes injuries heal faster
Increased blood flow is the main factor that heals injuries. Due to that people tend to confuse that heat helps to heal injury as heat increases blood flow. They thought that heat heals injury as heat increases blood flow but they do not know that heat accelerate inflammation which worsen injury. The use of ice is better. Using ice enables the body to control the inflammation which results in avoiding swelling. The use of ice on the injured part results in blood rushing into that part which help to heal the injury faster.

#Myth 13
Crunches = Six-pack abs
A total bluff myth. True that countless crunches give you that solid muscle there at your abs but only with the combination of the right diet will only give you your dream abs. Crunches indeed strengthen your core but flabby abs will hide your hard-earned strengthened-core. So you need to combine both crunches and the right diet to get six pack as the right diet will help you to slim down your abs, thus your muscular abs can shine.

#Myth 14
Skipping breakfast helps to lose weight
Always remember this!!
Breakfast like a King,
Lunch like a Queen,
Dinner like a peasant.
Usually people who skip breakfast will cause excessive intake during lunch and dinner. The absence of breakfast cause you to have insufficient energy. As your lunch need to cope your need of energy since the start of the day because you skip breakfast, this will make you want more for dinner as you want to cover. Your lunch needs to cover your skipped breakfast then your dinner need to cover your what your lunch lacks and the dinner itself. This will cause you to eat more for dinner which is supposed to be very small in quantity. Plus no activity to be done during night, to add sleeping do not burn calories and these accumulated fats in your body because the energy you consumed from the food is not used and turned into body fats. 

#Myth 15
The use of microwave kills nutrients
Microwaving always deemed as nutrient killers in food but researchers found that microwaving is the least damaging to nutrients in food. Microwaving is not a serious concern in term of nutrients deficiency in food.


Funny that we believe in so many things that we always thought to be the best way to do things. If you plan on dieting to slim down, I suggest you to make a little research first :)
