Alternative title: if you use the wrong health care products, you will not get sick if you stay healthy. Real health care is like this.

Ms. Huang, 56, is troubled by constipation. Two years ago, she was introduced to take evergreen tea for a long time. Until recently, she was diagnosed with melanosis coli, which will increase the risk of colon tumor. The reason is that she has been taking health care products with catharsis for a long time. Ms. Huang realized that useless health care products are not only useless to diseases, but also harmful to health, and she regretted it.

As we all know, the people who buy health care products are basically middle-aged and elderly people, and businesses have taken a fancy to their health needs and relatively plentiful money bags, and launched various health care products.

All kinds of unheard-of new sayings have made the uncles and aunts feel hot and willing to take out the money. There are even some businesses that have no bottom line, and even fool the elderly to replace drugs with health care products, which makes the elderly worse and eventually loses their lives.

1. Are health products edible?

Health products can be eaten, but you must choose qualified products produced by regular manufacturers. Eating the right health care products can really make up for the loss of function caused by the decline of physiological function of middle-aged and elderly people. For some ordinary people who are weak, unbalanced in nutrition intake and in sub-health state after illness, they can supplement the nutrition they need by choosing appropriate health care products.

Our country has clear regulations on health care products, which must be tested by institutions designated by the Ministry of Health and conform to the provisions on health food in the Food Safety Law.

If you want to know whether the health care products are qualified, you can identify them by these points on the package:

First of all, look for the "police tactical unit" logo, with the words "health food" under the icon. If not, it is a fake product and can't be eaten.

Then look at the approval number on the package. There are two characters: national food health word G(J) and health food health word. The difference between the two is that one is approved by the state and the other is approved by the Ministry of Health.

Looking at the production license number, the abbreviation of each province is the combination of the words "health food certificate" at the beginning and the number at the back.

In addition, pay attention to whether the packaging handwriting is clear and whether it is within the validity period. For health care products produced by regular manufacturers, the handwriting on the outer packaging should be clear and the production date should be easy to see.

After reading the outer packaging, you can't finally determine whether the health care products are genuine or not. The safest way is to log on to the website of the US Food and Drug Administration, enter the approval number, and compare the product name, manufacturer, main raw materials, suitable and unsuitable people, precautions and other related information of health care products. Only the information recognized by the state is true.

The efficacy of health care products is actually very limited. Generally, only one product is allowed to have at most two effects. Don't believe the salesperson's statement that a certain product can cure all diseases.

If you don't feel well, you need to see a doctor. Don't blindly believe in health care products.

In life, middle-aged and elderly people often suffer from hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, bronchitis, joint pain and even tumor diseases. When you feel unwell, the correct way is to seek medical advice in time and seek professional help.

Many uncles and aunts are reluctant to go to the hospital when they are not feeling well. One is that the process of seeing a doctor is too troublesome, and the other is that going to the hospital is too expensive. I prefer to go to the drugstore to buy some health products to recuperate my body. But in fact, if you eat the wrong health care products, it will not only be harmful to your health, but also increase your burden.

First of all, health care products are not drugs and have no effect on treating diseases. Furthermore, physical discomfort may also hide big problems, so you should seek medical advice in time to avoid delaying your illness. Find out the cause, and after the doctor makes a diagnosis, we can prescribe the right medicine and restore health.

Secondly, whatever you eat in your mouth needs your body to digest, metabolize, transform and absorb. When you are old, your body's metabolic capacity is insufficient. When you take in extra things that your body doesn't need, your organs can only excrete them through overload exercise. If it cannot be metabolized, it will accumulate in the body and affect the normal function of organs.

Blindly taking health care products invisibly increases the burden on the body. Therefore, when you feel unwell, it is the most responsible thing to go to the hospital to find a doctor.

3. Good living habits are the highest health care.

After middle age, the function of the body begins to decline. In addition, the pace of life is too fast and the pressure is too great. Busy working without retirement, busy taking care of children after retirement. I am too busy running around every day to take care of my health.

For middle-aged and elderly people, proper exercise, reasonable diet and regular work and rest are all good ways to keep fit.

① Reasonable exercise: Proper exercise every day can not only enhance resistance, speed up metabolism, but also make people feel happier. Generally speaking, it is enough to walk 10 thousand steps or half an hour every day. On the point that walking will wear the knee joint, the American Journal of Orthopedics and Sports Physiotherapy concludes that walking will not only harm the joint, but also benefit the joint health.

Besides, there are Tai Ji Chuan, Baduanjin and Wuqinxi, all of which are very suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. You can choose according to your own preferences. Exercise doesn't have to be formal, it's important to persevere.

2 Balanced diet: Usually, the diet structure should be reasonable, with less salt and less oil, and the combination of meat and vegetables should ensure a balanced intake of vegetables, fruits and meat every day. Vegetables and fruits should be fresh. Meat should be based on high-quality protein such as fish, chicken and lean meat, and fatty foods should not be eaten more. For the elderly, eating too much meat is not only difficult to digest, but also easy to cause gastrointestinal diseases such as indigestion, bloating and diarrhea.

Can people with poor digestion and poor gastrointestinal function not eat meat? Of course not. Without high-quality vegetarian food in protein, it will cause malnutrition, decreased resistance, and even induce diseases such as gallstones. People with poor digestive function also need to eat meat in moderation. 1-2 lean meat can meet daily needs.

3 Regular and adequate sleep: This is also extremely important for middle-aged and elderly people. Everyone needs different sleep time, whether it is 6 hours or 8 hours, it is normal. As long as you are refreshed and not sleepy after getting up, you have enough sleep. Good work and rest habits can keep the biological clock stable and improve the quality of sleep. Adequate sleep can not only effectively reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, but also make people in a good mental state and radiant.

The highest state of health is hidden in the dribs and drabs of life. Maintaining good living habits and optimistic attitude towards life is better than eating any health care products.
