They are not based on any facts or science and come from a time when people needed answers to questions so they made answers that are now superstitions. A good example is the superstition that night air was bad and made people sick. If you believed this today that means you can't go out at night, must make sure that you are fully covered from head to toe, not open windows and have curtains around your bed. This would be your protection against the night air. Ready to do that? There are tons of these dating from centuries of the lack of science and knowledge. 500 years ago man thought the earth was the center of the universe and through science we know that this is not true.
