The problem is the availability of blood, because digestion with a significant proportion of blood flow is concentrated in the abdomen, in case of increased need and could be the exercise or temperature change probably will not have blood available for other body parts.
The darkest part of the belief this time to wait before entering the water. According to Dr. Bourges, the waiting time depends on the amount of food and every individual.

Conclusion: In the words of Dr. Bourges eat bread after fright does not cure or solve any problem, rather it is a gesture of care that helps us feel comforted.

Conclusion: A head injury can never leave blank memory.
know that .. In October this year, researchers at the University of California discovered the mechanism by which the brain makes a more detailed memory or learning. Acetylcholine is a substance produced in the human brain, depending on the levels of this neurotransmitter at the time of entering information into the brain, his memory will be more or less detailed.

In his book, Goldberg says there is no medical evidence to confirm this myth, although it is known that warm bath sometimes urinate probably easier because it reduces pressure on the urethra to increase body temperature, but it is very difficult for a moment the hand soak in warm water can cause this effect.
Conclusion: The myth is false and can not cause someone to pee wetting her hand in warm water.
Did you know ... Researchers at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology in Singapore have created a battery that generates electricity from urine. A little smaller than a credit card and only 1 mm thick, this battery is the solution to energy needs that arise the "biochips" that placed microlabs a human being can monitor glucose levels, cholesterol etc. Composed of copper and magnesium, the small stack requires only 0.2 ml of urine to produce 1.5 V supply.

Another False beliefs that we inherit from our mothers at the earliest ages, it remains in our minds until the day that we repeat to our children for the perpetuation of the species and especially the myth.

If this were true we could not chew gum, and also we would stick inside the mouth.
Dr. Goldberg tells us that chewing gum can also help the stomach empty faster, due to sorbitol, a substance used as a sweetener in various brands of chewing gum and sometimes has a laxative effect.
Conclusion: is impossible for anything from sticking to the walls of the stomach.
Did you know ... Chewing gum aids recovery from colon surgery patients. Normally after an operation in the intestine, the activity in this organ stops and takes a while to recover.

The "chewers" were discharged after four days, while those who were not given gum took an average of six days to leave the hospital.
Myth: Using a cell phone can cause brain cancer
False
the late 90's a person in the U.S. state of Florida sued a phone manufacturer cell phone saying that his wife was responsible for the tumor she had in the brain. In his book "Risk, a guide to decide what is really dangerous in the world," David Ropeik and George Gray, experts in risk analysis and public health at Harvard University, explained that the cell phone is a device that emits and receives electromagnetic radiation, but there is evidence to support the fact that such radiation can be a health risk. The reason is that the amount of energy given off by these teams and even the antennas to that now adorn the cities is very small.
Conclusion: So far no nothing to prove that using a cell phone can cause brain cancer.
Did you know ... It's not advisable to use a cell phone during a thunderstorm.

Other causes are accidents in which the nerves are injured or much less common factors such as anoxic-ischemic disease (stroke, thrombosis, etc.) or other causes such as genetic processes. Therefore facial paralysis should be evaluated by a specialist to rule out a tumor or serious infections.
