1, choose the right one
People often eat more organic vegetables and coarse grains. Some people begin to use some health foods to make their bodies healthier. Some people will buy health care equipment, such as massagers and foot basins. Improve your physical condition by relieving poor blood circulation.
Others prefer to buy health food, especially imported health food. Some health foods can really relieve physical discomfort and promote health. China strictly stipulates that health food refers to foods that claim to have specific health care functions or are aimed at supplementing vitamins and minerals. These foods should be suitable for specific people and harmless to human body.
Therefore, we can know that health food cannot replace medicine. Imported health food must meet certain conditions if it wants to be sold in China. First of all, imported health food must have health food approval, and then enter China through certain procedures. In addition, imported health food needs to prepare a lot of materials before customs clearance. Imported health food wants to be sold in China, which not only needs to prepare a lot of materials, but also has complicated procedures. These cumbersome procedures are precisely to ensure that imported health foods circulating in the market can fully ensure their health and pollution-free.
2. How to tell the true from the false
With the appearance of imported health food, there are many choices, but there will also be fake and shoddy products. Generally, we see that imported health foods are all in foreign languages, and most people can't understand them. Therefore, the state has expressly stipulated that imported health food must have Chinese and foreign labels, and the font in foreign languages should be smaller than that in Chinese, so that it is a formal imported health food. This is on the one hand, I will tell you five points for attention in purchasing imported health food.
The first thing to look for is logo. Regular imported health food packaging will look like a national food, that is to say, there is a small blue hat, which is the symbol of health food in China, with the batch number of imported health food on it.
There is also the contrast between Chinese and English. Don't think that as long as a foreign language appears, it is a regular product. This is a wrong cognition. After all, many people can't read foreign languages.
With regard to passing the verification, generally regular imported health food must have this, and a valid hygiene certificate should be provided on the product, which will be issued by China Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau.
Also, be sure to see the origin of the goods. This is a national regulation, and the relevant registered address, the name of the country or region of origin and the agent must be marked in Chinese and English.
Finally, we must have the basic elements. When buying imported health food, we should pay more attention to quality and safety. Don't think it is foreign goods, just because it has its own standards. In fact, the formal import of health food must be operated in accordance with state regulations, and there must be trademarks, product names and production dates, such as safe use period or effective date. They are all health care products that meet the national standards, and it is not because of import that the procedures can be simplified.
3. Purchase misunderstanding
Myth 1: Health products can cure diseases.
Many consumers confuse the concepts of "health care" and "treatment" and think that health care products can treat or even cure diseases, which is a wrong view. Health products can prevent, adjust and correct the sub-health state of the body. Patients with chronic diseases such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia can choose some health foods and supplies on the premise of normal medication. If health care products are used instead of drugs, it will affect the treatment, aggravate the condition and endanger life.
Myth 2: tonic is good.
Some consumers think that eating more health food and supplementing nutrition will be good, but it is not. Not everyone needs to take health food. From a medical point of view, only people who are in a "sub-health" state need to use health care products to regulate their bodies. From the health point of view, proper supplementation of trace elements every day is beneficial to health, while employees in some industries take health food with labor protection properties such as radiation protection and lead excretion, which is beneficial to health. Eating health food, no matter what ingredients and functions are suitable for you, is likely to cause harm to your body, just as Chinese medicine says, "virtual is real, but necessary."
Myth 3: blindly believe in advertising
The number of advertisements can explain the strength and scale of enterprises to a certain extent, but it can't completely guarantee that the description of advertisements is suitable for you. Blindly believing in advertisements and completely taking the contents of certain advertisements as the purchase standard of health care products may also be taken in by false advertisements and illegal businesses.
