1, what are the taboos for tonic?
1. disease-free tonic
Not only increased expenses, but also hurt 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.
2. envy tonic
It is believed that the higher the drug price, the better the health. Ginseng is expensive and a tonic medicine, so many people take it. However, it should be noted that people who overuse it will have symptoms such as excessive excitement, irritability, high blood pressure and nostril bleeding.
Step 3 ignore reality
The treatment principle of traditional Chinese medicine is to replenish deficiency. It does not mean that patients with asthenia should not use tonics. 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.
4. The more the better.
Excessive use of any tonic will be harmful, so it should be moderate.
5. Take medicine as food
It is unscientific to emphasize medicine over food, and medicine tonic is not as effective as food tonic.
6. Every supplement must be meat.
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 eat too much for a long time, you will often be overwhelmed by the elderly whose gastrointestinal function has declined. Some "by-products" in the process of meat digestion, such as excessive lipids and sugars, are often the causes of common diseases and frequently-occurring diseases in the elderly, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cancer. A light 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.
7. Take 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 spleen and stomach. Daily consumption of walnuts, peanuts, red dates, lentils, lotus roots, etc. It is also a good supplement.
8. Reentry and light export
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, paying attention to the discharge of human excreta, reducing the retention and absorption of "enterotoxin", and advocating timely and unobstructed defecation while supplementing.
9. The fixed salary remains unchanged.
Some people like to take some tonic according to their own tastes, and then they have changed from being unchanged for many years to "partial eclipse" and "overeating", which is not good for their health. Because drugs and food not only have health care and therapeutic effects, but also have certain side effects, long-term use will affect the nutritional balance in the body. Especially for the elderly, not only the functions of various organs have declined to varying degrees, but also they need comprehensive and systematic conditioning, and different seasons also have different demands for health care drugs and food. Therefore, it is very necessary to adjust according to different situations, and it is impossible to make up for it in the same way.
10. The difference between high and low
Rare things are precious. Those noble traditional foods, such as bird's nest and shark's fin, actually have no peculiar dietotherapy function, while very common foods such as sweet potatoes and onions have dietotherapy value worthy of attention. In addition, all dietotherapy has certain objects and indications, so the medicated diet should be determined according to the needs, and what is missing and what is supplemented. Don't divide high and low, especially the elderly, but take practical low price as the principle.
2. Pay attention to daily health care.
1, don't take a hot bath before going to bed.
Excessive body temperature can also inhibit the secretion of melatonin in the brain and affect your sleep quality. Therefore, it is never wise to take a hot bath before going to bed. It is wise to take a bath 90 minutes before going to bed, so that when you fall asleep, your body temperature just drops to the most suitable temperature for sleeping. If you must take a bath before going to bed, and finally cold compress your forehead with cold water, it will also help to quickly lower your body temperature.
2. Disinfect before renting a house
If you are still a renter, be careful! Because "second-hand houses" are the source of most diseases, especially in the spring when viruses are most likely to spread. In China, almost no owners will disinfect their houses before renting them out, but mites, influenza viruses, hepatitis B viruses and molds can survive for a long time at room temperature. In particular, walls, beds, wardrobes, toilets, sinks, etc. should be carefully disinfected. As for air conditioners, washing machines and drinking fountains, please have them disinfected by special personnel.
3. Don't exercise in the gym.
Of course, this refers to the gym with poor air mobility. Because such a gym is full of exhaust gas and toxins exhaled by others, and you are most likely to absorb these exhaust gas and toxins during exercise, which not only does not play a role in fitness, but makes your body suffer. Therefore, either choose a gym with good air mobility or simply go to outdoor sports, especially the park with lush green plants, which is not a special place for grandparents to exercise.
Step 4 limit drinking water
Drinking water every day is not as much as possible! Your body is a balanced system, and your kidneys can only excrete 800- 1000 ml of water per hour. Drinking more than 1 000 ml in1hour will lead to hyponatremia.
Don't drink coffee or smoke when you are tired.
Try not to drink coffee or smoke when you are particularly tired, otherwise it will cause irreparable damage to the cardiovascular system. Palpitation and palpitation are serious symptoms. In particular, don't drink coffee and smoke when you are tired, otherwise it will not only double the harm to your body, but also increase your desire for cigarettes because of the unique fragrance and ingredients of coffee!
6. Brush your teeth at noon, too
You insist on brushing your teeth every morning and evening, but the growth rate of bacteria in your mouth during sleep is actually only 60% during the day. In other words, you need to take care of your mouth during the day and brush your teeth at noon, but don't brush your teeth immediately after meals. It is best to arrange it half an hour after meals to avoid damage to enamel. Especially after eating French fries or chips, pay more attention to brushing your teeth.
7. Be sure to abstain from alcohol during taking the medicine.
You must abstain from alcohol during taking medicine, even if you only eat simple cold medicine and vitamins, even if you only drink the mildest champagne and red wine! Because alcohol will not only affect the efficacy, but also amplify the side effects of drugs several times, and it is easier to interact with drugs to produce poisons.
8. Be sure to wash your face with warm water.
Be sure to wash your face with warm water, not cold water, to save trouble, otherwise the pores will suddenly shrink when stimulated, and the oil inside will not be removed in time, which will lead to acne. Don't use too hot water, otherwise the facial skin will expand rapidly, and then wrinkles will easily appear early.
9. Insomnia is due to calcium deficiency.
The consequences of calcium deficiency are not only leg cramps, but also forgetfulness, inattention and insomnia. Because sufficient calcium can inhibit the abnormal excitement of brain nerve, calcium deficiency will affect the normal metabolism of brain neurons. The best food for supplementing calcium to the brain is beans, such as soybeans and tofu, but the effect of soybean milk is not good, because a small amount of lactose contained in soybean milk will affect the role of calcium in brain neurons.
10, throw away Jiedu pills.
Angry? Got acne? The effect of taking those pills is not obvious, and because it stimulates the intestines, it may aggravate the nutritional imbalance of the human body. In fact, from the point of view of nutrition, the most effective way to reduce fire is not to drink alcohol or coffee for a period of time, drink more water and eat less fatty food.
