6 health myths you’ve probably believed your whole life
1/6
You need 8 glasses of water daily
While hydration is crucial, there's no scientific rule for eight glasses a day. Water needs vary based on climate, activity level, and diet. Trust your thirst—it’s the best guide.
2/6
Carbs make you gain weight
Carbohydrates aren't inherently fattening. It’s refined carbs and excess calories that lead to weight gain. Whole grains, fruits, and veggies offer essential nutrients and energy your body needs.
3/6
Cracking your knuckles causes arthritis
There’s no evidence that knuckle cracking causes arthritis. The sound comes from gas bubbles bursting in the joint fluid. However, excessive cracking may cause minor hand swelling or grip issues.

You only need sunscreen on sunny days
UV rays penetrate clouds and cause skin damage even on cloudy days. Daily sunscreen use helps prevent premature ageing and skin cancer, rain or shine, indoors or outdoors.
5/6
Detox juices cleanse your body
Your liver and kidneys already detox your body naturally. Juice cleanses may lack fibre and essential nutrients. Long-term detoxing can even be harmful to metabolism and gut health.
6/6
Cold weather causes colds
Colds are caused by viruses, not chilly weather. People tend to stay indoors in winter, increasing the chances of spreading germs, not because the cold air makes you sick.
