British edition The Telegraph has decided to dispel six most widespread myths which concern a healthy way of life.

The first myth as writes edition The Telegraph, concerns that people should drink eight glasses of water in day, and thus, to get rid of toxins. However, according to experts, this statement completely does not answer the validity - actually, it is necessary for the person of all from 750 to 1000 ml (litre) of water a day.

The myth of the second concerns that, consuming certain meal, it is possible to save itself from a cancer. But a primary factor which influences reliability of disease, writes The Telegraph, there is an age: than the person becomes more senior, it especially is more vulnerable for disease. Though physicians do not deny, that the eutrophy and physical exercises can bring the essential contribution to health of the person.
