1 - True. Improving blood circulation can help stimulate hair growth. There is a limit, though. If you already have adequate circulation, massaging isn't going to make your hair grow more. Massaging your cuticles (fingernails) can help improve their growth as well.
2 - False. But it might block your pores and make you break out.
3 - It's true that eye exercises are good for you. However, they are more likely to preserve than improve your vision.
4 - False.
5 - This depends on your health and your religious views. Done in moderation, some people agree that this can be good for you.

i never heard of these myths they are myths no truth

Question #1 False-unforunatly that is no way to make your hair grow faster.
Question#2 Also false- see answer above.
Question#3 depends on what type of exercise you are talking about.
Question#4 False swallowing ink and food dyes do not effect the eyes.
Question#5 variable- Depends on the person, usually not eating is unheathly and should not be done for more then 2 days.

yeah the other person is correct
first massaging this will just make u relaxed, i think you might of heard it stimulates the hair follicles so thats just a myth
vaseline nope just makes them smoother
eyesight can never been improved just gets worse with age, but doing exercise can help decrease this, but using the different muscle groups
swallow ink lol thats a really good one, that will just make u sick
you should never go a day without eating it will cause havok metabolism

There is actually some truth to all of them except the drinking ink is not such a great idea.

-massaging your scalp :
can increase production of your oil gland in scalp so it makes hair shiny and more healthy...

-Vaseline:
same thought as the scalp oil.. it makes the lashes and brows shiny and healthy.

-eyesight exercise can prevent eye straining thus preventing eye problems, but not improvement.

-if you drink lots of colored ink, you'll be poisoned... and your eye will turn white. eye color is genetic and cannot be changed except when using contact lens.

-drinking lots of water with out food can cause water toxicity.. we sweat and our sweat is composed of many electrolyte. if you will drink plain water you are not replacing the lost electrolyte. sooner you'll feel dizzy and will faint because of the electrolyte imbalance.
