In every society, health advice travels fast.
From family gatherings to social media forwards — we hear things so often that they start to sound true.
But here’s the quiet danger:
Not everything repeated for years is medically accurate.
Some “common knowledge” can delay treatment.
Some superstitions create unnecessary fear.
And some myths silently harm the people we love most.
Let’s gently separate facts from fiction — with science, not shame.
๐ Here are just a few:
MYTH:: back pain means kidney disease!
FACT: Kidney disease decreases urine, appetite decreases, nausea, swelling of the mouth!
MYTH: Frequent urination means diabetes or polyuria!!
FACT: If you have diabetes, the first feeling is - I eat so much, why I don't have energy, besides weight loss, bad breath, dry mouth.China!
MYTH: neck pain means pressure!
FACT: If the pressure increases, there are no symptoms in most cases! It just feels a little uncomfortable.
MYTH: pain in the left side of the chest means heart disease!
FACT: Heart disease usually does not cause chest pain. But there is pain in the left or in the middle of the chest... In heart problems, there is usually a feeling of pressure in the middle of the chest, it feels like someone is holding the middle of the chest!!
MYTH:Eating sweets causes diabetes.
FACT: Diabetes is a hormonal disease. Diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not work properly. So eating sweets has nothing to do with this disease. But if you have diabetes, you don't have to eat sweets.
MYTH: Drinking too much water during pregnancy causes watery feet.
FACT: Eating less protein and more carbohydrates during pregnancy causes watery feet. So you have to eat more protein.
