1, the misunderstanding of health care products
Misunderstanding 1, blindly believe in advertising
In advertisements, the propaganda about the "magic", "efficacy" and "cure all diseases" of various supplements is often exaggerated.
Health products are different from food and medicine. In foreign countries, this kind of health care product is called "functional food", which can neither be effective for a certain disease nor make you stronger on the basis of your original health. It can only restore your sub-health to normal health.
Myth 2: tonic equals health care.
Only people with physical problems need tonic, and those with good nutrition and no pain need tonic. It's like a torn dress that needs mending. Clothes that are not worn, short, worn or worn need not be mended. In the past, many long-lived people lived in deep mountains and forests, and they were still strong and healthy. On the other hand, from the unification of China by Qin Shihuang to the Qing Dynasty, many short-lived emperors loved to take tonics.
Misunderstanding 3 is not dialectical tonic.
Even if you are weak, you should not blindly take supplements. There are many kinds of deficiency of constitution, and each deficiency syndrome has targeted prescriptions and drugs. If it is not correct, it will not only be ineffective, but sometimes it will have side effects.
The older generation of Chinese medicine practitioners used drugs very strictly. Even ready-made tonics or ointments should be observed and then used dialectically. Therefore, how to supplement and recuperate according to everyone's physique and functional condition, and which supplement to take is more suitable and has greater effect, must be carried out under the diagnosis and guidance of doctors.
Myth 4. Replace three meals a day with supplements.
The human body's intake of nutrients mainly depends on three meals a day, and it must not be supplemented by nutrition alone. Huangdi Neijing clearly pointed out that tonic can only be used to recuperate the weak constitution, and the nutritional supply of the body has to give way to the diet necessary for daily life such as five grains, five fruits, five animals and five vegetables. Modern nutrition has proved that only a balanced diet with three meals a day can make your nutrition balanced.
Myth 5. Use tonic instead of exercise.
Medical scientists warn people: "life needs exercise, and only by doing necessary physical exercise can nutritional supplements play a better role."
Because both the intake of normal nutrition and the absorption and utilization of nutritional supplements must depend on the sound digestion, absorption and utilization function of the human body. Some people lack exercise, are physically weak, have poor gastrointestinal digestive function and low metabolic utilization rate. After eating nutritional supplements, they can't be digested and absorbed well, and even have side effects or reactions due to physical weakness or improper supplements.
Myth 6: The more expensive supplements are, the more effective they are.
Most of the high-priced tonics are added with some expensive Chinese herbal medicines, such as tortoise plastron, tortoise shell, saffron and cordyceps. However, if there is no targeted medication, it will generally not show special effects. Besides, how many turtle shells can there be in the tonic? Therefore, the price of drugs does not fully represent the quality of curative effect.
2, the method of daily health care
Method 1: Walk upstairs without taking the elevator.
When going to work every day, it is advisable not to take the elevator upstairs and downstairs for more than 6 minutes.
Efficacy: increase leg strength, massage toes and prolong life.
Method 2: Change wrong habits and reduce mental stress.
Breathing smoothly: When we are emotional, we will involuntarily hold our breath, which will only aggravate the mental stress.
Correct posture: Mental stress causes us to gradually arch our shoulders and bend over, and straighten up as soon as possible, just like unloading a bunch of heavy objects from our shoulders.
Behaviour: Remember, even if there is little hope, you can make things better. Effect: Relieve stress and maintain physical and mental pleasure.
Method 3: Stay in bed properly and don't get up in a hurry.
"Stay in bed" here doesn't mean staying in bed after waking up, but doing some light exercise in bed. After waking up in the morning: lie on your back and stretch. Then land on all fours, arch your back and "wake up" your spine.
Effect: let the spine, hands and feet and other organs "wake up" synchronously and keep the organs in balance.
Method 4: Hold your head high. Watch your walking posture.
It is very effective to stand up and walk at home or in the park. If you can walk like this at ordinary times, you can consume 1 times more calories.
Effect: Cheer up the spirit, enhance the image and promote fitness.
Method 5: Get rid of boredom. Exercise every day.
Some people are worried and silent all day because of the pressure of work. This is very bad for character and health. After work, we might as well jump and squat, lean back with our chairs and swing our arms back and forth. Doing these actions well will help to keep fit and improve blood circulation.
Results: The blood circulation was improved and a cheerful and lively image was established.
Method 6: Clean up the kitchen and don't lie down after dinner.
Don't sit down or lie down immediately after eating. Clear the table first, wash the dishes, and then find some other jobs. Anyway, force yourself to exercise after meals 15 minutes.
Effect: Helps digestion, family harmony and hygiene habits.
Method 7: don't sit for a long time, walk more if you have nothing to do.
Do some simple gymnastics while watching TV. During working hours, when you need to find a colleague, it is best not to call others from other rooms or communicate on QQ. You'd better go on foot. This can exercise your bones and muscles, and it can also harmonize the feelings between colleagues more effectively.
Effect: form the habit of activity imperceptibly, and keep your body and mind alive all the time.
Method 8: Communicate more and laugh often.
Smile, ten years old. Laughter has a miraculous effect on strengthening the immune system, not only consuming calories, but also improving self-feeling. Similarly, people who like to communicate always keep a cheerful and relaxed mood, and can unconsciously increase their exercise, which can reduce many diseases compared with people who don't like to communicate.
Effect: Make yourself healthier, more popular and more approachable.
