Here are four common myths about diet, exercise, and our overall health . . .
 Â
1.  Myth: Coffee stunts your growth.  Fact: In reality, genetics determine your height. In fact, coffee isn't linked to any medical conditions except for a slight, temporary increase in blood pressure.
Â
2.  Myth: Eating eggs causes high cholesterol.  Fact: Eggs have almost no effect on your cholesterol . . . and a Harvard analysis of two studies even suggests that eating eggs can IMPROVE your heart health.Â
Â
3.  Myth: 10,000 steps is the key to getting healthy.  Fact: Walking is great exercise, but it's tough to make a blanket recommendation for everyone. Plus, a study earlier this year found a better number of steps to aim for is probably 6,000 to 8,000.
Â
4.  Myth: Social media can inspire you to diet and exercise.  Fact: Researchers have found that it can actually lead to body dissatisfaction and distorted eating when you compare yourself to other people's bodies and weight.Â
