The elderly have become the main consumers of health care products, especially some salesmen approach the elderly to promote health care products under the banner of send warm. Many elderly people who pay attention to health care, under the rhetoric of salesmen, lost their judgment and spent a lot of money on health care products, which eventually led to the loss of manpower and financial resources.
It is a good thing to raise the awareness of health care in an all-round way, but we should be cautious in making health care products now, and don't waste money in vain, which will also bury hidden dangers for our health.
People's Daily said: Some health care products have the meaning of "selling dog meat by hanging sheep's head", and salespeople talk about health care efficacy, but it has no practical effect. I suggest you be cautious when buying.
Protein powder
Protein is an important nutritional component of human organs and one of the indispensable nutritional components of the body. However, I don't know when the protein powder appeared quietly. It is the darling of the health care product market, because they promote it under the banner of "enhancing immunity", and it has health care function no matter what age people eat it.
A can of protein powder costs about two or three hundred dollars, and some big brands even sell for four or five hundred dollars, but is it really necessary for ordinary people to eat protein powder?
In fact:
Normal people don't need to supplement protein, and they can get rich and high-quality protein from eggs, milk, bean products and lean meat through daily diet. Healthy adults only need to consume about 50g of protein every day to meet their needs, so normal people don't need to supplement protein powder.
High calcium milk
There are many kinds of milk sold in the market. When you buy milk, you should see high-calcium milk, which is much more expensive than ordinary milk.
According to the nutritionist, a little calcium carbonate will be added in the production of high-calcium milk to increase calcium in milk.
In fact:
The absorption rate of calcium carbonate is relatively low. After drinking, the human body can't completely absorb all the calcium. If you want to supplement calcium, ordinary milk is enough to meet your body's needs.
ferment
Enzymes are actually enzymes, which enter the China market in the name of slimming and are sold as health products.
Enzymes absorb the advantages of diet pills, but they just avoid the disadvantages of diet pills. They not only have no side effects, but also have the effect of slimming, so they are favored by many dieters.
In fact:
As an enzyme, it will lose its original activity after entering the stomach, and the body can't fully absorb it, so it has no effect of losing weight and shaping at all. Therefore, there is no need to eat enzymes at all, and we should avoid this IQ tax.
organic food
The "green vegetables" and "organic rice" sold in the supermarket sound high-end and high-grade, and the attraction to people can be described as full marks.
In fact:
Consumers' Association conducted sampling inspection experiments on organic products and green vegetables sold in the market. The results show that there is no difference in nutrients between the so-called organic food and ordinary vegetables, but the price is much higher than that of vegetables.
The nest of edible swift
Bird's Nest, the main function of beauty beauty, is a nutritional supplement in the eyes of many women.
Bird's nest contains amino acids, protein and other healthy ingredients, so many women try to eat bird's nest in order to delay aging and achieve the goal of beauty beauty.
In fact:
Expensive bird's nest has no nutritional value, even worse than ordinary bean products. Drinking a cup of cheap soybean milk is more economical than eating bird's nest.
Black wolfberry
Black wolfberry is called "soft gold". It is reported that the nutritional value of black Lycium barbarum is much higher than that of red Lycium barbarum, so more and more people begin to buy black Lycium barbarum.
In fact:
According to experts, the nutritional value of black wolfberry is high, which is exaggerated by merchants. There is no difference between black Lycium barbarum and red Lycium barbarum, but the anthocyanin content is higher.
Conclusion: When buying the above foods, everyone must keep their eyes open and buy carefully. Don't be cheated by the merchants. Spending money not only has no benefits, but also may lay hidden dangers for health.
