For generations, we have inherited health advice packaged as universal truth—some passed down by elders, others stemming from outdated science or popular culture. Phrases like “Avoid salt completely,” “Never skip meals,” or “Eight hours of sleep is enough—no matter when,” are repeated so often that they sound unchallengeable.
