Find out where these health tips could possibly come from. Are there any truth in them?
===================================================================================
1) Answer the phone by LEFT ear.
(According to Hoax Slayer, this is a misleading "warning" message that serves no useful purpose as there is no evidence to suggest that using the left ear will in any way decrease health risks related to mobile phone use.)
2) Do not drink coffee TWICE a day.
(That may doubles the risk of miscarriage)
3) Do not take pills with COOL water.
Wikihow said to take pills with cool and not cold water. Could be a typo error here.)
4) Do not have HUGE meals after 5pm.
(According to Dr Atkins' New Diet Revolution, we should stay away from pasta and potato, in favour of pure protein, in the evening.)
5) Reduce the amount of OILY food you consume.
(Oily foods will cause acne? Not true according to Women's Health Information.)
6) Drink more WATER in the morning, less at night.
(Logic decrees that if you drink more at night, you would get up more frequent to pee thus disrupting your sleep.)
7) Keep your distance from hand phone CHARGERS.
(At Hoax Slayer, and About.com, the email is about not using the phone while it is being charged. It added that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission does not identify using a cell phone while it is being charged as an unsafe practice in its article about Cell Phone Battery Safety.)
8) Do not use headphones/earphone for LONG period of time.
(It's Your Health reported "risk of hearing loss" listening to high sound levels for long periods of time.)
9) Best sleeping time is from 10pm at night to 6am in the morning.
(Not true according to Dr Christian Guilleminault, MD, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the School of Medicine but according to Ayurveda, that's the best time.)
10) Do not lie down immediately after taking medicine before sleeping.
(According to article by the National Institute for Health Research's on "The different ways of taking medicine", the advise is, if possible stand or sit upright).
11) When battery is down to the LAST grid/bar, do not answer the phone as the radiation is 1000 times.
(Read 10 Cell Phone Radiation Protection Tips posted by Lim Fang Yin. I could not find anything on it but its confirmed that radiation from mobile phones cannot cook an egg. Read "Fresh fears over mobile phones" from BBC News and find out research carried out about it.)
12) Forward this to those whom you CARE about!

For issue #11, I've done some brief Google but couldn't find any supporting fact (though I've heard of this somewhere before), until I stumbled on this site:
http://www.bestorganicsforhealth.com/site/1357438/page/875598
which says :
"Do not make a call when the signal strength is one bar or less, which means the phone must work harder to establish a connection."
which is more convincing & logical.
So I think maybe the actual tip meant "signal" but not "battery"
Thanks for sharing that link.
On the cell phone and last grid bar....
Even if battery and signal bar had been switched, it just doesn't make sense that a phone can "work harder." They have a very steady signal output power, which doesn't vary with distance to tower (which is the concept of "working harder").
I think the "oily" food part is true (regardless of the acne issue). I mean, eating oily foods will increase your cholesterol, don't they? CMIIW.
Food high with saturated or trans fats are bad for health. Thks for highlighting, Bawenang.
