1, how to choose health care products
Health care products for the elderly can be selected according to people's age. People will start to gain weight after middle age, and weight gain will easily lead to high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia. Middle-aged men over 40 can choose some health products to prevent and regulate blood pressure and blood lipid, such as spirulina tablets, sea buckthorn oil capsules and seal oil capsules. Moreover, women over the age of 40 have begun to enter menopause, so you can choose some menopausal health care products, such as sheep placenta, ovarian care plastic capsules and so on.
Fifty to sixty years old is a high age stage, because diseases such as stroke and myocardial infarction caused by hypertension and hyperlipidemia often occur at this stage. Health care products for the elderly in this age group should mainly be selected to regulate blood pressure and blood lipids, such as natto red yeast, ginkgo biloba extract, seabuckthorn oil and other capsules. For the elderly over 70 years old, you can choose some health care products that can delay aging, strengthen the brain and regulate blood pressure. At the same time, you need to supplement calcium at this stage, such as lecithin, brain tonic, calcium, sheep placenta and so on.
Generally speaking, elderly people of different ages have different choices of health care products. In addition to the correct use of health care products, the elderly should also be vegetarian in their lives, eat more foods rich in vitamins and dietary fiber, and eat more fruits and vegetables.
2, the elderly insomnia health care products
There are many factors of insomnia, and many elderly people can't sleep, so they choose to let the doctor prescribe some sleeping pills to sleep. Personally, I don't think this is a good idea. The best treatment for insomnia in the elderly is to exercise or eat some health care products, because these methods have no toxic side effects and can keep fit. Of course, before treating insomnia in the elderly, we must first find out what is the cause of insomnia. Some may just be in a bad mood, and some may be deficiency of both qi and blood. These two situations should be treated differently.
For insomnia caused by bad mood, we should focus on psychological enlightenment and let them open their hearts, and the natural insomnia problem will be solved. Insomnia caused by deficiency of both qi and blood or excessive hepatitis can be regulated by diet therapy or Tai Chi. At the same time, you can eat some health food such as lecithin soft capsule, which has a very good regulating effect on nerve function and improves the quality of natural sleep.
