Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

There are many health tips that people believe, but some of them are not true. Let’s look at three common health myths and the facts behind them.

1. Sugar makes kids hyperactive.
Parents often blame sugar for their kids’ hyperactivity, but studies show this is a myth. Research from the Journal of the American Medical Association found no direct link between sugar consumption and hyperactivity in children. Kids may become excited in party settings or around friends, which is often mistaken as a "sugar rush."

2. You should avoid exercise when you’re sick.
It’s a common belief that you should avoid doing exercise when you’re unwell. However, light to moderate exercise, like walking or stretching, can boost your immune system and improve your mood. The key is to avoid intense workouts, especially if you have a fever or severe symptoms. 

3. Watching TV before bed helps you fall asleep.
Many people believe that watching TV before bed relaxes them and helps them sleep. However, research shows the opposite. A study by Harvard Medical School found that exposure to blue light before bedtime can delay sleep by up to 30 minutes. Moreover, watching intense or exciting TV shows can keep your brain active. Instead of watching TV, experts suggest reading a book, meditating, or listening to calming music.

We all have habits, some good, some not so good. But did you know that even small, everyday habits can have a big impact on your health? Let's look at three common habits that might harm you without you even realizing it!

1. Skipping meals: You might think skipping breakfast helps you lose weight, but it actually makes you hungrier later, leading to overeating. Aim for three regular meals a day with healthy snacks in between to keep your energy levels up.

2. Late-night phone use: The blue light from your phone screen tricks your brain into thinking it's daytime, making it harder to fall asleep. Try switching off electronics at least an hour before bed and relax with a book or calming music.

3. Loud music: Blaring music through headphones can damage your hearing over time. Use headphones on low volume and take breaks to give your ears a rest.

These are just a few examples, and everyone's needs are different. Remember, small changes can make a big difference! By making healthy choices every day, you can feel your best and avoid health problems in the future. So, why not start today?
