People have a lot of prejudice, which they believe or want to believe, now, we will refute some of them. Muscles turn to fat if you stop in for sports Muscle and fat are very different types of cells and perform very different functions. Muscles become larger when a person is engaged in sports, primarily because of hypertrophy. In other words, one does not increase the number of muscle cells, rather they just get bigger.

You use the brain by only 10% This myth is propagated for long. A surprising number of studies showed brain mapping. We studied the function of various parts of the brain.According to them, there is no such area, which would never have answered, rather, is a function not fully studied. Brain scans showed that even during sleep, each part of the brain a little bit, but active. If 90% of the brain we do not use, so any injury or damage affecting the 90% should not affect the rights.
