When it comes to health and our bodies, there are many myths that most of us believe. However, most of them are just myths, which we should simply stop believing.

We've explored some of the most popular body myths that we could forget right away!

Vitamin food supplements protect health

Many people think that they can preserve their health with vitamin supplements, but vitamins in tablets often cannot be absorbed or are only partially absorbed. It is simpler to take vitamins from natural sources such as fruits and vegetables, meat, eggs. This way is certainly much healthier.

Alcohol destroys brain cells

Excessive amounts of alcohol can disrupt the metabolic process in the body and lead to a lack of oxygen, which can damage brain cells, but will not destroy them completely. So, excessive consumption of alcohol is harmful, but a glass of wine will not seriously endanger your health.

Sugar causes hyperactivity in children

This myth is untrue because the problem is not just sugar but any excess calories. However, children love sweets the most, and sugar is digested quickly, which is why they most often associate it with hyperactivity, reports Beauty and Health.
