EXCESSIVE CHEWING GUM DOESN’T REDUCES FACE FAT? – ITS HARMFUL STUPID!

Sometimes I think that if you tell people convincingly that running naked every day at midnight will double your fat burn, soon it would be amazing to be awake till midnight.

DIET:EXERCISE – THE STUPID RATIO

This is one myth which just refuses to die. A layman knows a simple fact that, he/she needs to exercise hard and eat good to lose weight.

COFFEE IS ACIDIC – BUT DON’T WORRY

COFFEE DOESN’T DEHYDRATE

One of the major myths floating around in regards to coffee is that it dehydrates the body. Often I hear a common advice: to reduce your coffee intake during summers, as it dehydrates the body.

IS CAFFEINE REALLY ADDICTIVE?

There is a lot of hue and cry over the fact that caffeine is an addictive substance and it is highly damaging for the body. Yes, it is addictive and there no denial about the fact, but the problem is that there are lot of things which are much more addictive than caffeine, but on the other hand, the benefits of moderate everyday consumption of caffeine clearly outweighs the addiction part of it.

GAINING WEIGHT IN WINTERS IS A MYTH

We all remember the hardcore scenes of training from the movie Rocky IV where Stallone trains hard in the bitter cold of Russia to prepare himself for the match against what seemed like an unbeatable opponent, Evan Drago.

THE MYTH OF METABOLISM & AGE

When I consult people, it is heartening to know that, many people take their age and decreasing metabolism as the biggest excuse which prevents them from achieving the desired results.
