The acting Minister of Healthcare of Ukraine decided to dispel myths about a healthy lifestyle. On her Facebook feed, the legend breaker Uliana Suprun gives advice on how Ukrainians can monitor their health.
Legend breaker gives advice
It is necessary to eat ice cream when you have a sore throat
Let’s recall the practice of the 20th century, where ice cream was recommended to be eaten only after tonsil removal surgery. In other cases, our grandmothers and mothers insisted on drinking hot tea and rinsing the throat with warm saline solution. The legend breaker Uliana Suprun has overturned ancestral practices and prescribed ice cream to the ill. She emphasized that eating cold food can also yield positive results.
It is necessary to walk when experiencing back pain
Uliana Suprun notes that physical activity and exercises will eliminate back pain. A sedentary lifestyle increases the likelihood of recurrence. This statement was met with applause from active lifestyle enthusiasts. However, the “old guard” questioned whether an X-ray or MRI should be done first, since back pain can be caused by tissue, cartilage, or bone damage, as well as tumors and other ailments.
Alcohol is harmful to health
It’s hard to disagree with the legend breaker here. Hundreds of studies confirm that alcohol is harmful to health. Only beverage producers with a “green serpent” claim otherwise and feed Ukrainians false research about the benefits of vodka, wine, beer, and other poisons for the body.
School parades should be canceled
A remnant of Soviet tradition – lining up in a row during school parades – declared Uliana Suprun. Children would agree. Standing outdoors in any weather and listening to adults is not as pleasant as running and jumping during breaks. However, educators disagree with the legend breaker. Teaching children discipline and responsibility begins in the school bench. The parade is one of the tools for manipulating children’s consciousness.
Dress warmly when going out into the cold
Uliana Suprun emphasizes that hypothermia outdoors in winter can provoke chronic illnesses. The legend breaker recommends wearing a couple of light sweaters instead of one warm one. Exposing parts of the body to frost is not allowed. 100% of social media users on Facebook agreed with her.
