Water. The widespread myth that you need to drink eight glasses of water a day to prevent dehydration was spawned in the mid-20th century and continues to be very popular today. But the truth is that there is no scientific study to prove it, as Margaret McCarthey pointed out in the British Medical Journal (BMJ). In fact, experts say that we usually drink enough fluids each day in the form of juices, milk and caffeinated drinks, in addition to fruits and food. What's more, according to a study by Purdue University, 40% of the water we need comes from food. On the other hand, other recent research suggests that after exercising, children should rehydrate by drinking milk instead of water or isotopic drinks.
Milk. " Put nothing on top of the milk," recommends the popular proverb. However, there is no scientific evidence to back it up. What's more, nutritionists assure that we can take all kinds of foods, including fruits and citrus fruits, both before and after milk without impairing digestion.
Vinegar. It is also common to hear that to combat hypertension there is nothing like drinking vinegar. But the reality is that looking for the beneficial properties of this food has been proven that it does not affect blood pressure. However, Tomoo Kando, in Japan, has identified another interesting advantage of consuming vinegar: it reduces the amount of body fat by 10%.
