As the saying goes: if you have money or no money, go home for the New Year.
But now, driven by the epidemic, the way home has also been ruthlessly blocked by the virus.
The nostalgia of the past was a train ticket. I'm here, and my hometown is over there.
Now homesickness is a negative nucleic acid test certificate. I am here, my hometown says:
You're right there! Don't come back!
But whether you go home or not, the Spring Festival has always been the deepest expectation in the hearts of thousands of Chinese people who are studying abroad, and at the end of the year.
And especially every Spring Festival, many people will buy some New Year gifts for their parents, such as various supplements, hoping that parents can achieve health care and auxiliary treatment of some diseases by taking these supplements.
But the problem is that the health care products on the market are mixed, and if you don't polish your eyes, it is difficult to buy some products that do not match the actual effect and the advertised efficacy.
Although some supplements are more expensive, they do not have a corresponding health effect, and even have a certain impact on health.
Therefore, when buying supplements for parents during the Chinese New Year, there are some precautions to keep in mind.
How to buy health supplements for parents during the Chinese New Year?
First, choose according to the physical constitution of the parents
When buying supplements for parents, be sure to choose according to the parents' physique, such as when the parents have some chronic cardiovascular diseases such as hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
If you buy some supplements with strong tonic effects for your parents, once your parents take them, they will increase the viscosity of the blood and the level of triglycerides in the blood vessels will also increase, thus affecting blood lipids, blood pressure, and blood sugar values.
If the parents are weak, but buy some cold supplements for the parents, it will lead to a series of uncomfortable symptoms aggravated.
When buying supplements, the choice should be made according to the physical constitution of the parents. For example, if parents have calcium deficiency, then they should appropriately buy some calcium supplements.
If there is a phenomenon of insufficient qi and blood, you can buy some supplements with the effect of nourishing qi and blood.
For the elderly who suffer from coronary heart disease or some other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, when buying supplements, you can appropriately choose some supplements that reduce the "three highs" and maintain the efficacy of heart function.
Second, choose according to the efficacy of supplements
When buying supplements, be sure to check the specific efficacy of supplements, for example, there are many supplements that have the effect of promoting sleep, but some supplements are mainly to regulate nerves, and some supplements are mainly to regulate the body's qi and blood.
Some so-called sleep-promoting supplements contain a large number of sleeping pills. Therefore, when buying supplements for parents, you should understand some physical abnormalities of your parents in advance, and then make corresponding choices according to the specific efficacy of supplements, so that you can play a symptomatic role.
Third, whether the supplement has a national approval number
When buying supplements, even if you go to a store to buy, you should pay attention to check whether the supplement has a national approval number, and pay attention to whether there are regular manufacturers and whether there is a "jian" font size.
Many of the supplements sold by so-called stores are Sanwu products, and even these products are likely to contain drugs that are prohibited in some countries.
Once taken by parents, it will not play any health care role and will also endanger the health of the body.
Fourth, pay attention to the supplement instructions
Before purchasing a supplement, it is necessary to carefully check the instructions of the supplement, to see some of the discomfort symptoms that the supplement can cause or may cause, and what are the contraindications.
Also check out the main formulations of supplements, as well as a series of instructions for clinical trials, physician resources, and more. If the supplement has not been clinically tested, then it must not be purchased.
In addition, according to mainland regulations: health care products can not promote efficacy, let alone claim to replace drugs.
Therefore, if you encounter some charlatans, or scammers say that eating xxx, you can cure the disease, and you must turn around immediately, because this matter is 100% deceitful!
Don't buy! Don't buy! Don't buy! Say important things three times!
I hope that all friends can have a happy and peaceful Spring Festival!
