Rumors and myths of our body that we continue to believe:

There are a large number of popular beliefs that have neither head nor foot, but due to various factors, they have spread rapidly, and more so now thanks to the existence of social networks that connect us all on the Internet.
These hoaxes are spread mainly because when we hear a shocking ‘truth’ from several different mouths we tend to give it credibility without stopping to investigate. Of all these lies, below we expose the 10 most shocking that people still believe about the human body.
The belief that we only use 10% of our brain is totally false. For the prestigious The Guardian, this is the "greatest brain myth in history." So widespread is this statement that 48% of British teachers believe it to be true.

According to science, we use all parts of our brains and there are even parts that are working while we sleep. That does not mean that there are people who take better advantage of their brain than others, but we do not have any unused area of the brain, as most think.
Many people believe that neurons cannot regenerate. However, since the 90s it has been shown that the brain has regeneration capacity even after a heart attack.

The claim that one of the cerebral hemispheres dominates the other by making us more artistic or rational people is false. What is certain is that the left is more logical - mathematical and the right is more creative and emotional, but there is no submission relationship between the two.

We have a belief that Russians drink vodka to beat the cold, but then why do Mexicans drink tequila to fight the heat? The myth that alcohol warms our bodies is false. At first it feels warm but it really lowers our body temperature.
Another false myth about alcohol has to do with its effects on the brain. And it is that alcohol does not kill neurons no matter how hard hangovers seem to us. What does happen is that its excessive consumption for a long time can damage neural connections and cause atrophy and degeneration, which, incidentally, are reversible.

With the cold come colds. This is totally untrue since viruses travel through the air and come from other people. What does happen is that in cold weather we spend more time in closed spaces with people and it is easier for mass contagion to occur. In addition, in areas with low humidity, bacteria have an easier time moving and infecting the person.
Eating a balanced diet helps us stay healthy, but there is no evidence that Vitamin C prevents colds. Of course, once sick if it helps us fight it.
Finger crunching not only does not cause arthritis but has no ill effect. The noise is produced by gas bubbles that accumulate in the finger joints.

Nails and hair continue to grow after we die. What really happens is that the skin becomes dehydrated and it seems that we have the longest hair and nails.
We don't have just five senses. There are between nine and 20 according to the definition of meaning that we use. Among all of them we find the proprioception or perception of each part of our body, the sense of balance and nociception or pain.
