Some MYTHS debunked!

By: tilakrajkmr | Posted Jun 16, 2010 | General | 339 Views

Ø We use only 10% of our brains is a myth…..

While it’s so tempting to use this as an excuse for the silly behavior your friend does, this is a myth which is not true. In actuality, brain imaging studies show that no area of the brain is completely silent or unused.

Ø Reading in dim light ruins your eyesight is another myth…..

Reading in low dim light will not change the health or function of our eyes. If it were true then prior to Thomas Edison’s discovery of the electric light bulb, majority of the people living in the past would have lost their eyesight due to writing or reading under the shade of dim light candles. But yes, reading in dim light can lead to temporary eyestrain. Therefore it is recommended that you read under proper lighting.

Ø Shaving makes hair grow back darker and thicker is also a myth….

Stubble only appears thicker until it grows out a little and then tapers a bit. As for the color, it’s the sun and chemicals that lighten hair up, so your little sprouts are just your natural color, nothing darker.
