DRINK WATER IS NECESSARY ?????

According to, Wendy Repovich, an exercise physiologist at Eastern Washington University in Cheyenne, Washington, who did her best to dispel several common nutrition misconceptions during an American College of Sports Medicine-sponsored health and fitness summit held recently in Dallas.

Here's another myth. "Drink 8 glasses of water a day." Repovich said people need to replace water lost through breathing, urinating, sweating each day -- but that doesn't necessarily total 64 ounces of water.
"I see an awful lot of people carrying bottled water around," Repovich said. "I think people are still under the impression that they have to drink 8 glasses of water a day, but most people don't realize they get water from other sources in the diet."
And too much water can be harmful, Repovich warned, leading possibly to an imbalance in the body of sodium, a condition called hyponatremia.

Eggs raise cholesterol ???


Some research said :
Eating eggs will raise your cholesterol. This myth started because egg yolks have the most concentrated amount of cholesterol in any food.
If eaten in moderation, eggs do not contain enough cholesterol to pose health risks..Most people avoid eggs and probably if they have any kind of cardiovascular risk their physicians tell them to avoid eggs. But really, there aren't a whole lot of studies that show that one or two eggs a day really make a difference to cholesterol levels.
