Don't blindly tonic in autumn. These misunderstandings should be prevented.
Autumn tonic has become a hot topic, but tonic is not a simple matter, nor can it be supplemented by eating health food. There are misunderstandings in autumn tonic, so be careful:
Misunderstanding 1: If it is light, it can't be corrected.
Tonic food is not necessarily the same as meat, especially for some people with weak gastrointestinal function. Eating too much meat will increase the burden, and it is easy to induce common diseases and frequently-occurring diseases of the elderly such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cancer. A light diet is not a supplement. According to modern nutrition, vitamins and trace elements contained in fresh fruits and vegetables are essential nutrients for human body.
Myth 2: tonic without illness
If you are healthy, there is no need to take health care drugs unilaterally, which will increase your expenses and harm your health. If you take too much cod liver oil, it will lead to poisoning. Eating glucose for a long time will make you fat, and the increase of cholesterol in the blood will easily induce cardiovascular diseases.
Myth 3: Eat medicine as a meal.
It is unscientific to value medicine over food. Many foods also have therapeutic effects. For example, eating more celery can treat hypertension, eating more radish can strengthen the stomach, promote digestion, relieve phlegm and cough, and eating more yam can replenish the spleen and stomach. Walnuts, peanuts, red dates, lentils and lotus roots are also good tonics.
Myth 4: Blind pursuit of expensive ingredients
Many people think that you should buy some expensive supplements. Traditional supplements, such as bird's nest and shark's fin, are expensive, but they are not too strange and worth mentioning. On the contrary, ordinary foods, such as sweet potatoes, corn, honey, etc., all have good therapeutic value, and expensive ingredients should not be pursued unilaterally.
Myth 5: The more tonics, the better.
It is an unscientific idea to "take more tonics, treat diseases and strengthen the body without diseases". Tonifying needs to be carried out on demand, and eating too much tonic is harmful. For example, taking too much ginseng supplements may cause bloating.
