Myths Uncovered About Health Tips
Myths Uncovered About Health Tips


Eating sweets causes Diabetes; Mid-night snacking will lead to weight gain; Cooking food in microwave oven causes cancer.

Is this really true…. Science has unfolded some of the sayings that were passed on through ages.

Myth 1: Covid vaccine doesn’t work well

Fact: Vaccines are perhaps the best hope to tackle the adversity of Covid infection. It is a misconception that if we get vaccinated, then we won’t get infected. But the fact is that vaccination makes the illness less severe and reduces the risk of hospitalisation and death.

Myth 2: Eating too much sugar causes diabetes

Fact: Sugar does not cause diabetes. Having more sugar increases weight and being obese increases the chances for Type 2 Diabetes. Several other factors include physically inactive, family history and Insulin Resistance. Type 1 Diabetes is caused due to the faulty immune response when insulin-producing cells in pancreas are destroyed by our immune system so our pancreas stops being able to produce insulin. So, pay attention to diet and overcome sedentary lifestyle.

Myth 3: Using public toilet causes UTI

Fact: Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) are common in women. We, women are very paranoid of using public toilets, as these are home to lots of germs like E. coli, Staphylococci and many more. But the fact is that germs cannot be transmitted as they cannot survive for long time on the seat.

Some of the major causes of UTI are menopause, unhygienic sexual practice, holding back the urge to urinate, urinary catheters in case of hospitalization.

However, for personal hygiene it is suggested to carry a toilet seat sanitizer, or disposable toilet seat covers along to be at mental peace.

Myth 4: Cracking knuckles causes Arthritis

Fact: People who don’t crack knuckles and the habitual knuckle crackers both are at equal risk of arthritis. Cracking knuckles may only annoy people around but it won’t raise the risk for arthritis.

Myth 5: Midnight snacking increases weight

Fact: The key player that contributes to weight gain is net calorie intake (Calories consumed – Calories burnt) and not the time when we eat.

If you stay within body’s daily calorie limit, then night time eating does not actually lead to weight gain. However, it has been observed that people who eat late-night are inclined towards high-calorie packaged food which otherwise should be avoided.

It is advisable to eat food at least three to four hours before going to bed for the body to be able to digest what you have eaten. Eating spicy and fatty food at night leads to acid reflux and less time to balance out net calorie intake.

Myth 6: Heating food in microwave causes cancer

Fact: Microwaves are non-ionizing radiations.  And the only non-ionizing radiations that causes cancer are UV Rays. Microwave ovens use microwave radiation to heat food, but this does not make food radioactive. And the technology behind is that the water molecules in the food vibrate and the food gets heated.

It is advisable to use glass containers to heat or cook food in Microwave and keep plastic wares at bay

Myth 7: 8 glass of water a day 

Fact: It is always good to have enough water, but not everyone needs 8 glasses a day. This requirement varies from person to person basis their weight and age.

The body has a sophisticated regulatory system that monitors hydration and sends a message when you need to drink. Keeping oneself hydrated is more important than the count. The regular water threshold could be met by beverages, juices and the food that contain water.

Certain medical conditions like kidney stones, strenuous exercise, and climatic conditions are the decisive factors.

We @dattmediproducts feel that it’s good to be conscious but misinformation must be tackled head on. It is best to get expert opinions and not just follow what we read online. It is always suggested consulting a qualified health practitioner to seek information as per the medical conditions.

Wound during physical activity

Recovery doesn’t mean slowing down. Staying active while recovering from an injury or managing a wound doesn’t have to be an impossible task. With the right products and strategies, you can keep moving while ensuring that your recovery stays on track.

Whether you’re returning to your workout routine after surgery, dealing with an orthopedic injury, or healing a wound, we’ve got you covered.  Let’s dive into how you can integrate orthopedic and wound care products into your active lifestyle to keep you on the move and in the game.

The hidden risks of being active during recovery

Exercise helps circulation and mental health, but certain movements can disrupt healing. 
For wounds, bending, twisting, or sweating can weaken dressings and delay recovery.

EXAMPLE

Imagine a wound that’s healing well, but every time you move, the bandage loosens or moisture from sweat causes irritation. That can delay healing, reopen a wound, or even introduce bacteria. Similarly, orthopedic injuries like fractures or sprains require careful management to avoid strain that hinders healing.

The first rule of staying active during recovery?

Keep wounds protected during physical activity. The right products will shield your injury from friction, dirt, and moisture while allowing the skin to breathe. Opt for dressings that stay secure, comfortable, and irritation-free.

Our top products for Active Healing

When it comes to active recovery, we understand that you need products that work with you, not against you. That’s why we recommend products designed for ultimate support and flexibility.

  • Velpore™, Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive Tape:
    Hypoallergenic and breathable, it keeps dressings in place during physical activity without skin irritation.
  • Velfix® T+Pad, Waterproof Dressing:
    Ideal for post-surgical recovery, this waterproof dressing provides a bacterial barrier while you stay active.
  • Velfix® -T Film, Transparent Dressing:
    Clear, waterproof, and flexible, it offers protection while maintaining full range of motion.

When dealing with an orthopedic injury, immobilization is essential—but that doesn’t mean you have to sit on the sidelines.  Whether it’s a sprain, strain, or fracture, finding the right orthopedic product can help ensure that your recovery stays on track, even as you navigate through your day-to-day activities.

Hygiene: Clean up after movement

Excess sweat and dirt can compromise wound care. Velfix® -T+Pad helps manage moisture and ensures easy post-workout cleaning, preventing infection while maintaining healing.

While staying active is crucial, some exercises may be more beneficial than others during recovery. Low-impact activities like walking, swimming, or cycling can promote healing without overstraining your injury.

Recognize when to pause

Pay attention to swelling, redness, or increased pain after activity. If these occur, rest and assess—early intervention ensures faster recovery.

Holistic Healing: Rest & Nutrition

Healing requires proper rest and nutrition. A balanced diet, hydration, and enough sleep support tissue repair and overall recovery. Include vitamins, protein, and antioxidants to aid healing. Stay active and heal efficiently by using the right wound care and orthopedic products. With proper protection, hygiene, and mindful activity, your recovery journey can stay on track.
