There had been many things about foods that our parents said to us when we were younger. Some are completely ridiculous that we go rid of them when we grew up, but some stayed on. So what is the truth behind the food myths that our parents used to tell us? The fact is some of these myths are probably preventing us from making the most of our diet so it’s about time that we know and this post is all about uncovering the truth behind the lies. Myth no. 1 Raw doesn’t mean healthy There’s a reason why our human ancestors discovered and mastered the use of fire. With the use of fire, our diet has been revolutionized. However, it has always been a huge lie that raw foods are better then cooked ones. Some vegetables will lose their nutrients when cooked for long periods while others have toxic substances that need to be killed before being eaten. It’s also a misconception that raw fish is better than the cooked variety. When it comes to this myth, eat both raw and cooked foods just to make sure. Myth no. 2 Use plastic cutting boards instead of wooden ones A 1993 study surprisingly showed that wooden cutting boards are better because bacteria died off quickly than in plastic ones. In plastic cutting boards, bacteria multiplied exponentially out of control. The results once again demystified our once long-held beliefs on food-related matter. Myth no. 3 Coffee can cause hypertension A study by the Johns Hopkins University showed that drinking a cup of coffee a day can raise the blood pressure just a little bit. However, drinking from 5-6 cups a day will increase the likelihood of developing hypertension. But then again, coffee drinking is rendered harmless as compared to other vices like smoking and drinking. The aforementioned has a more apparent effect compared to the former. Myth no. 4 Eat three times a day These days eating just three times a day are no longer enough especially with the high-octane lifestyle that we have. Essentially, most dieticians prescribe eating seven times a day and that includes the three full meals and several snacks. However, the number of meals a day does not determine how healthy you can become but the nutrients that are present. Myth no. 5 You can feed anything to your dog Your dog seems like he can munch on anything without much effort but just like humans, they have limitations too. Feed your dog a bar of chocolates and that’s enough for him to have a heart attack. Basically, 15 Hershey’s bars can kill a 22-pound dog and if there’s no veterinarian, a burnt toast can help your pooch remove the lethal theobromine. Aside from chocolates, garlic and onions shouldn’t be fed to your best friend because it can cause their red blood cells to burst. However, the trip to the graveyard for your dog would mean he or she has to eat a pound of onions first. Be wary of the things that you hear or being told you especially when it comes to health and food. Always be a skeptic and find time to verify whether the things that you’ve been told to believe really have some merit behind them.

Supercars are not meant and built for everyone but they have everything that everybody loves and one of that is exclusivity. For instance, the Aston Martin V8 that happens to be a convertible and since it comes from the renowned manufacturing facility of Aston Martin, it’s tough not to have high expectations about the car. Let’s see what this exotic car has in store for supercar enthusiasts and gauge whether it really deserves to be part of its categorization. As far as performance is concerned, the V8 Vantage Roadster can spurt from 0-60 mph in merely 4.9 seconds and that’s one huge leap if you’re going to ask me. When it comes to its top speed, this auto can scorch the road by reaching at least 175 mph and probably even more as one fan said. The good thing about this car is that it can generate as much as 380 horsepower with its 4.3 liter engine and that’s quite an achievement considering that bigger engines don’t produce that much. Apart from that, the other astonishing thing about the Vantage Roadster is its rigidity and that’s quite something considering that this one is a convertible. Additionally, there are loads of multimedia features that you can choose from making the Vantage Roadster a moving entertainment cabin of sorts. The question now is, is this car really worth it? First and foremost this car is not yet at the level of a Bugatti Veyron or even a Tesla Roadster. However, any man who’s in the know of the automotive industry knows that this car has some fine tinkering done on it and that’s pretty obvious. At 126,000 USD, the Vantage Roadster is a lot more affordable than other exotic cars. With that being said, the Vantage Roadster is a decent exotic car that may be far from fantastic but still great enough to be part of its elite place in its class. When it comes to its performance on the road, it has been said that the Vantage Roadster underwent thousands of miles of testing under extreme weather conditions from Arabia to Europe. If this car was able to survive rigorous testing, then it’s logical that this car can easily surpass what the urban jungle can throw at it on a daily basis. Exterior-wise, the Vantage Roadster is an eye-catcher although since it has loads of gadgetry inside, it can only accommodate two people at the same time. So if you plan to tug along some friends or family members, too bad because the other seat is already taken. Unfortunately, this car’s extra space is only limited to five cubic feet and that’s too small even for those who don’t carry a lot at all. When it comes to driving, that’s where the Vantage Roadster is really good at. Be it the street or highway, this car is very easy to handle even by those who are not very experienced yet. Also, this car doesn’t consume that much oil compared to other cars in its class and that’s very important especially with how gas prices have skyrocketed over the years. Overall, this car is the most practical one that I’ve seen in the exotic ride category because it has the trappings of a supercar and the practicality of some luxury autos out there. Overall, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster isn’t the best car yet but its Aston Martin craftsmanship painted under its hood, there’s no reason why anyone would ignore this auto’s quality and not to mention affordability. Basically, it is akin to a boxing prospect that has all the tools needed to become part of the pound-for-pound list and it’s just a matter of time before it can be fully polished to its full potential.
