I recall two: "Fruit before bed settles like lead" and "Never eat new
potatoes in a month with an "R." Don't ask me the genesis of either.

My mother had superstitions and sayings for every occasion. Fer
instance, depending on what point she was trying to make, "Look before
you leap" or "He who hesitates is lost." <sigh> I was a confused child
who grew up into a confused adult.
