Drink at least eight glasses of water a day
We use only 10% of our brains
Hair and fingernails continue to grow after death
Reading in dim light ruins your eyesight
Shaving causes hair to grow back faster or coarser
Mobile phones are dangerous in hospitals
Eating turkey makes people especially drowsy

sorry guys theses myths are all false.....

"The belief that we only use 10% of our brains appears to be completely untrue."
Studies of patients with brain damage suggest that damage to almost any area of the brain has specific and lasting effects on mental, vegetative and behavioral capabilities."

I think belief was 10% of our brain capability not literally 10% of our brain
