Was Your Mom Right?

Here are three “myths” your Mom might have told you growing
up. Was she right or wrong?

“Turn down the music or you’ll lose your hearing.”
She was right! Prolonged loud music and noise can lead to ringing in
the ears or some hearing loss. Tip: If you can hear the music from
your headphones when you’re not wearing them, it’s too loud.

“Going out in the cold with a wet head will make you sick.”
No! You do lose heat from the top of your head but covering it
won’t protect you from catching a cold. A cold is a virus you catch
from someone else who is infected.

“Spicy foods will give you ulcers.”
Close! Spicy foods can aggravate ulcers you may already have but
they don’t cause them. Ulcers are a bacterial infection you can get
from contaminated food or water, or frequent use of pain medication.
