Contrary to what many parents have told their children throughout the years, reading in the dark will not harm eyesight. Dim light can make it harder for eyes to focus, which can cause eye fatigue, or drying of the eyes because you don't blink as much. Both of these are short-term problems that don't cause any long-term damage. (If your parents told you sitting too close to the TV would also hurt your eyes, that isn't true either.)

And static stretching before physical activity will prevent your muscles from achieving maxium effort.

There is actually no scientific basis for the "8 glasses a day" recommendation we are all used to hearing. Men actually need about 15 to 16 cups of water each day, and women need slightly more than 11 cups. But that doesn't necessarily mean you have to actually drink that many cups of water. For a healthy adult, those amounts can easily be achieved from a balanced diet and just drinking water when you're thirsty. ( Physicians Mutual Medical Insurance Co.) - Millet
