Your Face Will Freeze Like That!
Was mom’s advice right?
F rom “Don’t suck your thumb” to “Don’t be a bum,” our mothers doled out quite a few pearls of wisdom. Now the guys in white coats with PhDs after their names are trying to verify mothers’ advice in the lab. Was mom always right?
Eat your fish. It’s brain food. True. How did mom know? One of the fatty acids in fish, DHA, is an important component of your little gray cells; DHA aids your brain’s cell-to-cell communication and nerve conduction. In one study, seniors who ate fish once a week had a better chance to avoid Alzheimer’s.
Don’t go outside without your coat on or you’ll catch a cold.
Sorry, mom. Colds are contagious infections usually caused by viruses. They aren’t caused by cold weather or dampness but by germs you pick up when you don’t wash your hands.
Wash your hands!
True. See above, silly.
Eating carrots will help you see in the dark.
True. The vitamins in carrots help improve your night vision.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Right on, mom. Studies found that kids who eat breakfast do better academically than those who don’t. In one study, breakfast eaters often averaged nearly a whole grade higherthan those who went to school on an empty stomach!
If you keep making that face, your face will freeze like that!
Sorry, mom. Our faces really do “freeze” into a pattern of creases, or wrinkles, we create whenever we smile or frown, but making a silly face for a few minutes won’t affect anything—except your mother’s blood pressure.
It’s important to get a good night’s sleep.
True. Experiments at Harvard Medical School showed that college students who slept after they learned a new task remembered more about it the next day than students who stayed up all night after learning that same task.
If you can’t say anything nice about someone, don’t say anything at all.
True. Experiments show that when someone gossips about the personality traits of another person, the listener will transfer those personality traits to the speaker. So if you tell Harry that Jim is a liar, Harry might think you are dishonest. When you only say positive things about other people, you’ll always be perceived in a positive light.
Too much TV is bad for you.
True. Too much TV and too little exercise combine to increase body fat and obesity. And to avoid Alzheimer’s, researchers suggest that you turn off the TV and exercise your brain by reading, doing crossword puzzles, playing music, and even gardening.
Don’t swallow your chewing gum or your stomach walls will stick
