Many elderly people take some health care products in their daily life for health care. These health products have many functions such as enhancing immunity, assisting in lowering blood fat, lowering blood sugar and supplementing nutrition. In fact, the elderly should be cautious in taking health care products, because eating too much health care products is very harmful to the body, and it is best to take them under the guidance of a doctor.

Myth 1: Eating more health products is good for your health. Some people think that when you get old, you have to make up your body. Friends and relatives sent them and bought them themselves, thinking that the more health care products you eat, the better, leading to overdose. The human body's demand for nutrients has a maximum tolerance value, and once it is excessive, it will lead to an overall imbalance. Therefore, eating health care products should be enough and not abused. Old people should be aware of their internal organs and parts that need tonic. The human body has five internal organs. Generally, tonic should be based on the five internal organs, mainly according to the physiological functions of each internal organ.

Myth 2: treat health care products as medicine. Some people think that health care products have a direct effect on diseases, confusing the efficacy of health care products and drugs, and even holding a bunch of health care products when going to see a doctor. Health products can only prevent and regulate the sub-health state of the body. If you take it blindly without the guidance of a doctor, it will affect the treatment and even aggravate the condition. We should know that taking health care products in the form of drugs every day will often make users lose something, and once they stop using them, they will feel psychological discomfort.

Misunderstanding 3, eat health care products as a meal. This is very harmful to the body, because nutrients can only strengthen or improve a certain function, and vegetables, fruits and other foods contain many active ingredients in addition to the main nutrients. Simply using health care products can't guarantee a balanced nutrition. It is easy to ignore the importance of taking nutrition from normal diet and strengthening the body through food supplement by taking health care products quantitatively. From the point of view of nutrition, as long as the variety of food is diverse, the human body can get comprehensive nutrition. Therefore, it is not good for health in the long run to replace the process of nutrient intake by various organs of the body with health care products.
