What an amusing trip down memory lane @Elsa and I have been on today. We have been chatting about all those myths our parents told us. We have had a good chuckle ๐ about them. Here are just a few we chuckled at.
Chewing gum stays in your stomach for five to seven years โ
False. Most chewing gum is not digestible, meaning that it will travel through your system in a matter of two to four days.
Wait an hour after eating before you go swimming to prevent cramping โ
False. A normal-sized meal consumed before swimming will not cause cramping.It is possible to feel tired and fatigued after overeating, so maybe avoid swimming.
Sitting too close to the TV will make you go blind โ
False. Televisions and other devices emit such low levels of radiation that they have little effect on the body. However, staring at the same thing for a long period of time can cause the eye muscles to fatigue, thereby affecting vision. But there has been no proof this causes long-term damage.
Shaved hair grows back thicker and darker โ
False. Although your mom may have told you this as a young girl so you wouldnโt be so eager to start shaving your legs, itโs not true. Because the hair is newer, it may have not yet been bleached by the sun, and so it appears darker and thicker.
Sugar makes children hyper Hmmโ and โ
False. Several studies have shown that sugar doesnโt cause children to be more hyper. However, sugar does affect behavior. One study reported that children who were given sugar had higher levels of adrenaline and because higher adrenaline levels lead to symptoms similar to those of hyperactivity it was presumed that the cause was purley down to sugar
If you go outside with wet hair on a cold day, youโll catch a cold โ
False. Colds are caused by viruses, which you canโt get just from being outside in the cold. You may feel sick if youโre outside all day in the cold or rain โ runny nose, chills, fatigue โ but itโs not because of a virus. Itโs because you can experience the same symptoms when you are chilled as when you are sick
Cracking your knuckles causes arthritis hmmโ and โ
False. A 30-year study showed this is not the case. However, knuckle cracking can lessen oneโs grip strength because of repeated overstretching of the tendons.
They may not be true but we sure believed them ๐
How about you share some of your myths with us. Hopefully we can all have a day of chuckle ๐ memories
NOTE : For those of you who play multiple games you will see this repeated but we wanted those that don't to be able to join in the fun ๐๐

3 · Helpful Woah! Sweet Love 3HahaHi @KimElston
These are what everyone I know calls โOld Wives Talesโ
Heres one... If you find a penny on heads and you pick it up and put it in your left shoe youโll have good luck.
Another... If a black cat crosses your path youโll have bad luck. Thatโs totally false by the way. ๐
If you spill salt throw some over your left shoulder or youโll have bad luck.
If you break a mirror youโll have 7 years bad luck.
I could go on and on...
Thanks for the fun discussion. ๐ค

3 · Helpful Woah! Sweet 2Love 1HahaI also hear the same things @teresawallace44 anyway I have another one. Don't drop rice on the table while eating otherwise the chicken will die. Even it is false but we can see the reason behind this saying.
New norms. Avoid 3C. (Crowded place, Confined space & Close conversation) Do 3W. (Wash hands, Wear mask & Warn new norms)

@KimElston and @Elsa
My mother always said I shouldn't drink water when I ate cherries.
false: The warning probably dates back to the time when drinking water was of poor quality. Germs in the water can cause bloating and diarrhea.
