Manga with milk gives congestion? Myth.
Unlike what people think, the junction of these two foods is not dangerous, but very healthy. In Welfare on Wednesday (13), the pediatrician Ana Escobar prepared a vitamin with mango, milk and ice and showed that this recipe can make good health. According to the endocrinologist Alfredo Halpern, the idea that this combination can cause congestion arose at the time of slavery, when the planters spread this information to prevent the slaves take milk from cattle and eat the mangoes from the orchard.
However, according to pediatrician Ana Escobar, milk alone is capable of causing congestion in people who have lactose intolerance, but it has no relation to the mango.
Sugar water calms? Truth.
This combination can calm. As explained endocrinologist Alfredo Halpern, pure sugar or candy contributes to the formation of serotonin, a substance responsible for feelings of pleasure and well-being. Therefore, just as the sugar water calms, sweet as brigadiers, dreams, puddings can also cause this sensation.
Powder moth can blind? Myth.
The dust coming out of the wings of butterflies or moths can irritate the eyes, cause allergies in some people, but can not blind. According to the pediatrician Ana Escobar, is the same as scratching the eye with dirty fingers of dust, for example, ie there is no blind.
If the person contact with the powder, it should flush the eyes with running water and never scrub or rub your eyes.
Staying in quiet gives flu? Myth.
The flu is a result of a virus attack, as noted pediatrician Ana Escobar. People think that the flu can be transmitted through the serene impression because of the cold weather, which can lower immunity, but it does not.
Read with dim light is bad for your eyes? Myth.
Occasionally, when one reads and travels on a bus, or when reading at home in a darker room, there is no problem. According to pediatrician Ana Escobar, this can cause discomfort and even headaches because the person may need to force the view to see, but not enough to cause a problem in vision.
Drinking coffee at night gives insomnia? Truth.
Caffeine is a stimulant and can make sleep because it acts on the central nervous system, leaving the body more rapidly. People with sleep problems - or until they feel headaches often have ulcers or a history of heart problems - should not take any stimulant, like caffeine.
According to pediatrician Ana Escobar, foods that can get the sleep, besides coffee, are black tea, green tea, guarana powder, chocolate, cola and energy. Moreover, breads, pasta, milk, herbal tea and honey can cause the opposite effect and give sleep.
