Health food is a product aimed at supplementing one or more vitamins and minerals rather than providing energy. Its function is to supplement the deficiency of dietary supply, prevent nutritional deficiency and reduce the risk of causing some chronic degenerative diseases. Health food can't replace medicine, and it doesn't have the function of preventing and treating diseases. The elderly should correctly understand the function and efficacy of health food, and don't blindly follow the trend.

Buy on demand, rational consumption

When the elderly buy health care services and health care products, it is best to consult their families and choose regular businesses to avoid buying too many items at one time or paying a large amount of money, so as to buy on demand and consume rationally. Bad businesses usually promote health care and wellness programs to the elderly by playing family cards, health cards and gift brands. The elderly should stay awake and firm, strengthen vigilance and preparedness, and enhance their recognition ability. First, confirm the qualification information of merchants and products, and don't patronize unlicensed business premises.

Beware of false propaganda language

When the elderly buy health care products, they should beware of false propaganda words such as quick response, treatment of various diseases, pure natural ingredients and the latest technology. Some advertisements for illegal health products often exaggerate the efficacy of products, contain "absolute" clauses and false promises, and deceive and induce elderly consumers.

Keep the shopping vouchers properly.

After purchasing health care products, the elderly should ask for and properly keep invoices, leaflets and other documents. Once your rights and interests are damaged, you can use agreements, invoices, etc. as evidence of rights protection. If there is a consumer dispute, you can negotiate with the merchant first. If negotiation fails, you can complain to the local market supervision department or call 123 15.
