Maintaining health must not be confused with myths because it is not a stone age where you work with myths and remedies. It is now time to divide fiction from realities to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Men are usually very carefree when it comes to visiting a doctor for their health concerns as compared to women. It is evident as per the survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), which indicates that the rate of examination and prevention visits of women are 100% higher as compared to male. The reason is still undiscoverable as why men hate going for their regular checkups? Let’s discuss 20 worst men’s health myths that absolutely make no sense:
- One myth related to men’s baldness is that it is related to the mother gene pool. This myth is entirely ridiculous.
- Wearing a hat or helmet is the primary reason for baldness in men because helmet and hat would scrap your hair out of your scalp.
- Another myth about prostate cancer it that it would be the most common cancer among men, but in reality, skin cancer causes more deaths than it.
