"Recently, Yongkang is particularly popular to eat' powder', which is said to moisturize and lose weight. Many people even regard this' powder' as breakfast or dinner. " Yesterday, Ms. Chen, a citizen who worked in the headquarters center, said.
Many citizens are buying "health powder" in a dietotherapy health shop in Chengdong Road, Yongkang City. "My mother often can't sleep well at night. Let me see which powder is more suitable for her. " A woman surnamed Huang said that she had eaten "health powder" several times and thought the effect was not bad. This time, she wants to buy some for her mother.
"When I was a child, Yongkang people ate' Mi Weng' in the New Year, which was ground into powder with fried rice. Now the' powder' made by these whole grains is similar to' Mi Weng' and full of childhood memories. " Mr. Wang said.
The reporter saw that many supermarkets and shops in Yongkang have all kinds of "health powder". The main raw materials come from two categories: one is whole grains, mainly brown rice, black rice, buckwheat, oats, soybeans, red beans, mung beans and black beans; The other is the common medicinal and edible ingredients, such as black sesame, walnut, lotus seed, yam, jujube, malt, poria cocos, almond, coix seed and so on.
On the Internet, there are all kinds of "health powders". According to the seller, according to the different raw materials, the efficacy of "health powder" is also different, including lowering "three highs" and lowering blood sugar, which is dazzling.

"It's all whole grains. Even if the effect is not as good as it is said, there should be no side effects. " Hu Huayu, a citizen, bought a kind of "health powder" made of walnut kernels, black sesame seeds, medlar and other ingredients. She mainly took a fancy to the common nursed back to health ingredients for grinding.
The reporter found that many citizens' views are similar to those of Ms. Hu, and they are attracted by the selling points emphasized by merchants, such as food for nutrition, homology of medicine and food, safety, no side effects, curative effect, convenience and easy absorption.
Dietotherapy is good, but it can't do everything.
Is the popularity of "health powder" a real miracle or grandstanding? Wang Yizhuan, vice president of Yongkang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, told the reporter that "health powder" is mainly made of whole grains. It advocates a balanced diet with a certain health care effect, but it can't replace drugs, and diet replacement can't replace staple food.
"Citizens must be cautious when buying similar' health powder', and don't over-trust the so-called curative effect." Wang Yizhuan said that some "health powder" may have a certain effect on conditioning health, but it can't play a role in treating diseases. For some people suffering from diseases (such as heart disease and hypertension), "health powder" cannot replace antihypertensive drugs and hypoglycemic drugs, so it needs to be carefully selected.
