Men usually hate visiting the doctor. In essence, they don’t have a regular sense of health care. It is a sad fact that men are too lazy about healthcare and the scenario persists. A man will rather search for instant remedies over the internet than seeing a doctor. They will only contemplate visiting a doctor when the worse reaches its peak. According to the study conducted by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, twice as many men as women have no regular source of health care in the wake of far too many ‘alternating facts’ swirling around in the internet. They are rather mired by some nefarious myths that SHOULD be busted and here are they:

Squats are bad for them:

Squats is a compound exercise and there is a proper technique that the man has to learn. Doing it with a barbell or weight, squats are not least bit harmful for a man as it is understood to be. They say, doing a lot of squats can weaken your knees and the lower back whereas it actually strengthens those parts. It releases a lot of testosterone and burns your fat. They gotta be kiddin’ us!

You can go bald by wearing a hat:

Fedoras are sexy and Hrithik Roshan wears them a lot! now think whether or not you will want to go by the myth. It is believed that you can be bald by excessive use of hats because it deprives your scalp from fresh air and you sweat a lot. Conversely, wearing a hat has nothing to do with baldness but it is conclusively tied to genetics, duh!

Most men die of Prostrate Cancer:

Well, this is a prevalent disease in most men but definitely not the worst killer. In that respect, lung cancer is the worst killer of many a men. Only around 40 of 100 men diagnosed with Prostrate cancer die from the disease. But then, it sometimes varies upon your family history and risk levels. Don’t let the myth grain traction!

Eating more protein equates to more muscles:

Fellas, if you are not strength training and yet taking a lot of protein, you will end up nowhere. In America, guys eat protein, about 80-90 gms per day, which is double the amount of what is recommended. Now the question is, is that up to any good?

You need to gulp down protein right after the workout:

Hey chill! There is no such need to slam a protein shake after you are done with lifting irons. If you are exercising vigorously, then there is a certain amount of protein that you need to intake in a week. That’s that.

High SPF sunscreens are the best:

Men shy away from using grooming products and only a handful of them are cautious about skin cancer. However, there is a myth doing rounds that because men have tough skin texture, they need higher SPF. Sadly, the margin with the lower SPF ones is fairly narrow. A 60 will block 98.3% and a 40 will block 96.7%. Now judge for yourself!

So, dear men, stay informed before believing in the myths.

Lot of myths float here and there about many topics and mostly we tend to believe them as well.

Many women might have accepted some myths about their body that actually needs to busted, so we thought to dispel common myths about woman’s body.

Read on to know about some myths about woman’s body :

Myth#1: Women and Men Need Equal Sleep

As per studies many women need extra hours of sleep as they do more multi-tasking during the day compared to their spouse. Extra time is needed to recover brain as women engage in more tasks in a day. But a man who performs arduous job which requires a lot of thinking then he too may also require extra sleep.

Myth #2- When Menopause starts, it ends sex life.

If you thought menopause will pause your sexual life then that’s not true. As per research, there is no direct link between menopause and sexual desires. Hot flashes and other discomforts may lead to a loss of libido for a temporary period but not permanently.

Myth #3- Lifting Weights Make Women Bulky.

There is pre conceived notion that lifting weights will make women appear bulky. As per studies, women won’t increase muscle mass at nearly the same rate like men unless they supplement with steroids or other performance enhancing drugs. As the level of hormones (which is required for muscle building) are not the same in men and women.

Myth #4- Women should not work out during periods.

Females should not workout during your menstrual cycle is one of the biggest misconceptions surrounding women. One should note that exercising during your periods helps to bring down the abdominal cramps. When you exercise your body releases hormones called endorphins which aid your brain keep calm and make one feel better. However, one should avoid doing rigorous exercise regime during MCs but one can opt for light yoga, cardio and simple stretches.

Myth#5- The hymen determines virginity.

Hymen is one of the most misunderstood female body part, and one of common myths is that hymen is the definitive marker of virginity. There are no physical ways that can show about a woman is a virgin or not. Hymen can be torn during physical activities like swimming, cycling, during work outs as well. There are cases where sometimes a virgin doesn’t has a hymen at all.

People should stop believing in these half-truths and women must consult experts if they have any doubts regarding body and its functions.

Not every Bihari man has that typical accent. Which accent?

Well check for yourself. Don’t miss the ‘tremendousva’ moment.

When we talk about a Bihari the first thing that usually strikes the mind is their accent. The PR branding and media coverage of Lalu Prasad had been so impactful that even subconsciously we somehow relate every Bihari man to him.

People, who don’t agree with me on this, then well, hats off to you all for not stereotyping. For the other unfortunate junta including me who tend to link and generalize…it is time we broaden our minds.

Why is it so difficult to imagine a Bihari without the paan and the accent?

Talking about paan, well not every spit you see on the streets is by a Bihari.

For God’s sake just because he is a Bihari doesn’t mean he has to have a paan. Even if he does can we please not generalize it with the typical red spits on the streets?

Spitting is a habit that anyone can develop irrespective of what community he belongs to.

The red patches that we often encounter on the streets or walls don’t necessarily have to have a Bihari tag attached to it. It can be anyone for that matter.

Not every Bihari aims to be IAS officer:

Although Bihar and Jharkhand is known to produce IAS officers but it isn’t a hard and fast rule that every Bihari has to choose this profession only. We have Mika Singh from Bihar. On second thoughts what if the singer chose to be IAS officer.

Uhhh no thank God he chose to ‘Subah Hone Naa De’.

Not every Bihari guy is a ‘despo’:

If a Bihari guy is asking you a genuine doubt then it doesn’t necessarily mean that he is hitting on you. About desperation, well any guy can be the desperate types. You might come across a Bihari who wouldn’t even be interested in you.

Not every Bihaari talks loud while conversing on phone.

Imagine a Bihari talking on phone. The two distinct characteristics that would come to mind are the super audible nature of conversation and the usage of cheap abuses. For example the word ‘sasura’ has to be there in the conversation.

Although there might be men who speak like they want the entire surrounding to hear their conversation but that is the case with many Indians.

Forget men travel in the ladies compartments of Mumbai locals and you would find a competition of decibel levels.

Myths about Bihari men – It is time that sasura we give them a breakwa.
