Takeaway

If the healthcare industry has taught us something is that we can point out different things that were considered normal in the past. Now, most of those things are actually myths, and maybe in a century or so, scientists will debunk others. Until then, it might be a good idea to keep yourself up to date.

Because even though we were raised with “swimming after eating is super dangerous,” that’s definitely not true. So, before making any assumptions, you could check our dearest friend, Google, for some information.

P.S.: If you know any health facts that turned out to be false, feel free to share your thoughts with us!
