1. “If it’s natural, it’s completely safe” – FALSE
Not everything natural is harmless. There are plants and natural products that can cause side effects, allergic reactions, or interfere with medications. So even if it’s natural, it’s always best to consult a professional first.
2. “You only need water to stay hydrated” – FALSE
Water is essential, yes, but not always enough by itself. When you sweat a lot, exercise, or are sick, you also lose electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium, which water alone doesn’t replace. Complete hydration includes these minerals, which help maintain balance in your body and support muscle, nerve, and cellular function.


3. “Vitamin supplements replace a healthy diet” – FALSE
Supplements are meant to complement, not replace. Nothing beats the power of a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, proteins, and healthy fats. Also, many nutrients are better absorbed through food than in isolated form.
4. “Stress only affects your mind” – FALSE
The impact of stress goes far beyond the emotional. It can raise blood pressure, weaken your immune system, affect digestion, and even accelerate cellular aging. Taking care of your mental health also means taking care of your physical health.
💉 5. “IV therapy is only for emergencies” – FALSE
IV therapy has evolved and is now used in the wellness world too. When properly administered, IV infusions can help you regain energy, boost your immune system, improve your skin, or recover after an intense day. That said, they should always be administered by trained professionals.
