With the improvement of people's health awareness, a variety of health news has also come flooding, such as "moderate drinking, good health", "infusion can dredge blood vessels", "eat while hot, better for the stomach and intestines"... Many people are convinced of these "health advices".
Today, I regret to tell you that these "health advices" are all fake! Not only is it useless, it will get worse and worse!
01 The blood vessel "garbage" is not clear, will it become a blood clot truth?
"There is garbage in the blood vessels, and if it is not cleaned up, these garbage will slowly accumulate, forming blood clots to block the blood vessels, resulting in a hundred diseases." I believe that many people have heard of this statement, and even some people have tried it themselves. Don't be silly.
There is no so-called "garbage" and "toxin" in the blood vessels, and some are just normal "metabolic waste" of the human body. Normally, it is transported with blood to specific excretory organs and eventually excreted from the body.
We usually drink more water and increase urination, which can help accelerate the cleaning up of metabolic waste.
02 10,000 steps a day, live past 100 years old truth?
It seems that many people are clinging to the belief that the more you walk, the healthier you will be.
Excessive exercise can cause chronic joint damage and may also have adverse effects on muscles, bones, etc. According to the "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2016)" issued by the Chinese Nutrition Society, it is best to take 6,000 steps per day for physical activity, of course, the specific number of steps still varies from person to person!
03 Eating while hot, better for the stomach and intestines?
On the issue of eating and drinking, many people think that eating hot and drinking hot helps protect the stomach and intestines.
In fact, as early as 2016, a study published in the journal Lancet Oncology by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) under the World Health Organization showed that drinking hot drinks above 65 °C increased the risk of esophageal cancer.

In fact, not only hot drinks, but also hot foods such as hot pot, which are favored by the Chinese people, also have the same risk.
04 Seasonal infusion through the blood vessels, safe winter?
"It's time for the season, it's time for infusions and blood vessels again." Every season, a large number of elderly people run to the hospital and rely on infusion to pass through the blood vessels.
This method is not shallow, not only is it useless, but it also "takes people's lives" if it is not good.
There is no scientific basis for "infusion through blood vessels". So far, there have been no scientific comparative studies of regular and infusions per year after stroke. Infusion may cause heart failure, drug allergic reactions, etc., and induce or aggravate the disease.
05 Massage the breasts, through the mammary glands to remove the nodules?
Guangdong public channel "DV live" column once reported a case: Guangdong Ms. Wang in the beauty salon through the recommendation of the masseuse, received chest meridian dredging massage, the other party said that through massage can open up the chest meridians, eliminate breast hyperplasia and so on.
Unexpectedly, nearly 3 months later, Ms. Wang suffered from breast cancer.

Some women believe that massaging can reduce or even disappear, but this is not the case. These lesions are stimulated by estrogen essential oils, and with the help of external massage thrust, they will spread to the surrounding areas, accelerating the metastasis of cancer cells.
06 Chinese medicine has no side effects and will not hurt the body?
In ordinary life, when people around us are sick, some people always recommend taking some Chinese medicine, thinking that Chinese medicine has no side effects and will not hurt the body. This is actually a misconception.
Guangming Daily reported a case of "liver failure caused by indiscriminate use of Chinese medicine". A doctor once treated a middle-aged female patient with liver failure because she had been using shou wu to black hair because of the problem of gray hair. After the successful treatment, the patient also said with an innocent face, what kind of medicine is Shouwu.
"Chinese medicine has no side effects, will not hurt the body" concept has to be changed, Chinese medicine is also medicine, before using must consult a doctor!
07 Massage lymph regularly, can it detoxify?
Many beauty and health clubs have a "lymphatic drainage" program, claiming that massaging lymph can play a role in detoxification and treatment.
At present, China's health supervision department has not approved a 'lymphatic drainage' technology. The so-called lymphatic drainage has no scientific basis at all.
08 Eating food together will be poisoned?
I believe that many people must have heard of the so-called "food phase" combination: spinach and tofu can not be eaten together, otherwise it is easy to stone; vitamin C and seafood can not be eaten together, otherwise it will be poisoned...
Now tell you: there is no theoretical explanation, no experimental evidence, no accumulation of clinical trials, this thing does not exist, is not true, unreliable!
Some people do experience physical discomfort after eating the so-called "phase gram food", which is usually caused by seasonal changes, the food itself is toxic, the food spoils and other factors, and has nothing to do with the "food phase".
09 Eat more red date brown sugar every day, can you tonify blood?
In recent years, brown sugar has been packaged as a "health artifact" and is loved by more and more women. Health brown sugar with ginger juice, cinnamon balls and red dates is even more popular. However, the truth of the matter is: you may have been deceived!
According to the test data of China's food composition table, up to 96.6% of the ingredients in brown sugar are sugars, and the iron content is minimal. It is unreliable to use brown sugar to replenish blood. Although the skin of the red dates is red, the iron content of the dates is not high. The iron content in dried dates is about 2 mg/100 g, and the lower in fresh dates is only 1.2 mg/100 g, and the iron in the dates is not easy to absorb.
True iron supplements: red meat, red meat including pork, beef, and lamb; animal blood; animal liver.
10 Drinking alcohol in moderation is good for health?
Many people have heard the saying that "drinking in moderation is good for health", and even some so-called "health advice" in life says that drinking alcohol in moderation every day can activate blood and help sleep.
The top medical journal "Lancet" pointed out that drinking alcohol directly caused the death of 2.8 million people worldwide, and the safest amount of alcohol consumption is 0, that is, not drinking alcohol can be beneficial to health! Due to its large population, China is the country with the highest number of deaths from alcohol consumption in the world, with 700,000 Chinese people dying every year (650,000 are men)!
Alcohol caused male deaths in 2016
At the same time, alcohol is directly related to cardiovascular diseases, cancer and other diseases. A statistic was made in the 2014 World Cancer Report that subjects who drank heavily (>3 times a day) were more likely to develop five types of cancer than those who did not drink alcohol: upper gastrointestinal/respiratory cancer, lung cancer, female breast cancer, colorectal tumors, and melanoma.
11 Eat more alkaline foods is good for health?
"Acidic constitution is prone to cancer!" "An alkaline diet is good for health!" Have you heard any of these claims?
The founder of this theory is Robert O. Young from the United States. It is reported that in 2002, he wrote 4 books in one go to promote the concept of acid-base physique, and successively published the "Acid-Base Miracle" series of books.
The "acid-base physique theory" scam was really exposed because a cancer patient in the United States was fooled by this statement and gave up regular chemotherapy, which eventually led to the development of cancer to stage IV. The so-called acid-base therapy is to add alkaline baking soda to intravenous drugs.
As a result, Robert O. Young was sued in court and sentenced to a hefty $105 million fine, and he admitted in court that the acid-base theory was a hoax!
