Myths About Our Body. A Scientific Approach to Primitive Questions

Andrey Sazonov is a practicing therapist physician with many years of experience, a publicist who is constantly learning, actively reading, and with pleasure writing useful notes. It’s impossible to imagine how much lying and unverified facts we accept as truth— including about the most precious thing we have: our health. We are mistaken at every step, following wrong advice, but we remain convinced that we are doing the right thing. Because we do what everyone does, and we believe what everyone unanimously believes.

Vitamin C will save us all from the flu! Only those who eat a lot of sweets get diabetes! Spring depression is caused by a lack of vitamins! And other myths about our health are firmly rooted in the minds of generations of people. But the fewer myths there are, the more pleasant life becomes—and the healthier the body.

In this book, we seriously discussed questions that you didn’t have time or desire to investigate; we revealed the truth about well-known facts and unfamiliar possibilities. It is always useful to part with misconceptions. It simplifies and makes life easier!
