A little carelessness will damage your health.

First, avoid disease-free makeup.

If you are not sick, you will not only increase your expenses, but also harm yourself. If you take too much cod liver oil, it will lead to poisoning. If you take glucose for a long time, it will cause obesity, increase blood cholesterol and easily induce cardiovascular diseases.

Second, the more you avoid, the better

Eating too many supplements is harmful. It is unscientific to think that "take more tonics, treat diseases and strengthen the body without diseases". If you take ginseng antler supplements too much, it will cause bloating and not think about diet; Taking too much vitamin C can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

Third, avoid the distinction between reality and reality.

The treatment principle of traditional Chinese medicine is to tonify deficiency, not to use tonics for patients with deficiency. Deficiency is divided into yin deficiency, yang deficiency, qi deficiency and blood deficiency. Only the right medicine can make up the body, otherwise it will be counterproductive and will hurt the body. Although keeping in good health is not as strict as treating diseases, at least the applicable foods can be divided into two categories: cold and hot.

Some obstructive people are afraid of cold and like heat, their hands and feet are not warm, their mouths are full of saliva, their stools are full, their urine is long, and their tongue is coated with pulse. Fever, fever in hands and feet, dry mouth, bitter taste, bad breath, dry stool, short and red urine, red tongue and rapid pulse. If you don't distinguish between cold and heat, it will easily lead to "adding fuel to the fire."

Fourth, avoid all supplements.

Animal food is undoubtedly a good tonic. It is not only nutritious, but also delicious. However, meat is not easy to digest and absorb. If you take it for a long time, it will often be crushed by the elderly whose gastrointestinal function has decreased and some "by-products" in the process of meat digestion.

Excessive lipids, sugars and other substances are often the causes of common diseases and frequently-occurring diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cancer in the elderly. A clean diet is not without supplements, especially vegetables. Modern nutrition believes that fresh fruits and vegetables contain a variety of vitamins and trace elements, which are essential nutrients for human body.

Fifth, avoid taking medicine as food.

It is unscientific to value medicine over food. I don't know that many foods are also therapeutic drugs. Eating more shepherd's purse can treat high blood pressure; Eating more radishes can strengthen the stomach, promote digestion, flatten the chest, resolve phlegm and relieve cough; Eating more yam can replenish the stomach. Daily consumption of walnuts, peanuts, red dates, lentils, lotus roots, etc. It is also a good supplement.

Sixth, avoid the more expensive it is.

"Rare things are precious", and those noble traditional foods, such as bird's nest and shark's fin, actually have no peculiar dietotherapy function. However, very common foods such as sweet potatoes and onions are still worthy of attention. In addition, all dietotherapy has certain objects and indications, so medicinal diet should be determined according to needs. What is lacking, what to make up ",don't divide the high and low, especially the elderly, but should be based on the principle of practical low price.

Seven, avoid heavy into light out.

With the improvement of people's living standards, many families have meat and fish every day, and the food is greasy. The acidic toxic substances produced by the metabolism of these foods need to be discharged in time, and the accelerated pace of life makes many people have irregular defecation and even constipation. Therefore, in recent years, health experts put forward a new concept of health care that pays attention to "negative nutrition". That is, pay attention to the discharge of human excreta, reduce the retention and absorption of "enterotoxin", and advocate paying attention to the timely and smooth defecation while supplementing.

Eight, avoid constant compensation

Some people like to take some supplements according to their own tastes, and then develop from the same kind for many years into "partial eclipse" and "food addiction", which is not good for their health. Because drugs and food have health care and therapeutic effects, and there are some side effects, long-term use will affect the nutritional balance in the body.

In particular, the elderly not only have different degrees of organ function decline, but also need comprehensive and systematic conditioning, and the demand for health care drugs and food is different in different seasons. Therefore, it is very necessary to make adjustments according to different situations. Compensation cannot be fixed, but it must be carried out to the end.
