Can You Spot the Health Myth?
Here’s one: “Drinking coffee dehydrates you.” Or how about this one: “You don’t need a check-up if you feel fine.”
Sound familiar? These common health myths float around every April Fools’ Day—and all year long. But at Healthy Connections, we’re here to separate fact from fiction and make sure your health doesn’t become the punchline.
Wellness Is No Laughing Matter—Even on April Fools’ Day
April 1st is the day for pranks and jokes. But when it comes to staying healthy, it’s no laughing matter. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, prioritizing your mental health, or just looking to make better daily choices, here’s what really works:
✅ Drink more water – Even mild dehydration can affect your focus and mood.
✅ Choose whole foods – A colorful plate helps your immune system and energy levels.
✅ Keep moving – Movement reduces your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and depression.
✅ Care for your mental health – Therapy, support, and self-care can change lives.
