Unlike many people who think health food is deceptive, the main reason is that the supervision of domestic health food enterprises is much higher than that of the United States and Japan. The past sales model makes these health food enterprises often leave more profit space in the marketing channels.
In other words, simply from the objective ingredient consumption, the cost performance of domestic health food is not high, so I will generally consider recommending you to buy some foreign dietary supplements or some drugs with the same ingredients.
In order to have a clear mind to choose health food, we must first understand a fundamental concept of health food, which is not used to diagnose and treat diseases. If we have health problems, the first task is to go to a regular hospital, make clear our own causes, actively cooperate with clinical treatment, and adjust some controllable factors, such as diet, smoking and drinking. That's all that matters. I no longer listen to salesmen or health products advertisements, but place my hopes on health food.
At the same time, it is still necessary to distinguish some formal products. The easiest way, of course, is to buy some brands that you are familiar with, or buy them from very authoritative purchasing channels.
If your elders get a brand product that you haven't heard of, you'd better go to the website of China Food and Drug Administration and check the information of this health food in the "public inquiry" project. For example, the efficacy written on the promotional materials at hand is inconsistent with the information published in the packaging and website, so throw it away quickly.
Moreover, you can also go online to search whether there are many negative news about this brand, and whether it involves scandals such as illegal sales or illegal addition of drugs. In short, we must be vigilant.
Take the initiative to save the country Family members can take the initiative to save the country. For example, you take the initiative to buy enough daily necessities for the elderly to avoid being tempted by some free physical examinations and small gifts.
Old people are often easily deceived by some tall words. You can do more homework, communicate actively, and establish your sense of authority in health. Then you must patiently persuade, not strongly oppose, to avoid causing rebellious psychology. If it is really difficult to change the family's consciousness and way of thinking, you can also take the initiative to buy some safer supplements, such as vitamin D, calcium tablets, multivitamin and mineral supplements, protein powder, total nutrition powder, etc., but you must pay attention to choosing formal channels and try to choose legal big brands. Due to fierce competition, the prices of these mature products are often not particularly high.
Finally, remind everyone to spend more time with the elderly to prevent them from indulging in health care fantasies. Many elderly people are deceived by some salesmen mainly because of loneliness. Children should try their best to give them a full and happy inner world.
