01. Will OK lenses wear the cornea?
Rumor content: The eyeball is soft, and the OK lens is hard. It will wear the eyeball and cause the cornea to become thin, so it cannot be worn regularly.
Truth Interpretation: OK lens, also called orthokeratology lens , is a non-surgical refractive correction method. There is basically no relative movement between the OK lens and the eyeball. The material is also very safe and will not wear the cornea when used correctly. It should be judged and fitted by doctors from professional institutions. (Source: Toutiao refuting rumors)
02. Can soda water adjust the acid-base balance of the body?
Rumor content: Drinking more soda water is good for the body and can regulate the acid-base balance of the body.

The internal environment of a healthy human body can automatically maintain a suitable pH range, providing a stable environment for physiological activities in the body, and will not change due to drinking soda water.

03. If you suffer from gout,
you cannot eat tofu, meat and eggs?
Rumor content: People with gout cannot eat tofu, meat, and eggs, otherwise they will get sick.
truth interpretation: This is a common misunderstanding. During the production of soy products, most of the purine has been lost, so eating soy products does not increase the risk of gout attacks. Considering that blood uric acid may temporarily increase after a meal, it is generally recommended to control the intake of soy products, especially in the acute stage of gout, and follow the doctor's advice. Compared with high-purine foods such as animal offal and crustacean seafood, meat and eggs do not have a great impact on blood uric acid after consumption. (Source: Toutiao Refutation)
04. The longer you stretch after exercise, the better?
Myth content: Stretching after exercise helps relax muscles, and the longer the stretching time, the better.

On the contrary, excessive stretching time will increase the risk of overstretching joints and ligaments. Usually after exercise, each stretching action is done for 30 seconds to 60 seconds, 1-2 times, and the total stretching time for various actions is about 10 minutes.
