A search for the "truth" of health care products
"The five major health products that "fell off the altar", more than a dozen are useless at all, which ones have you eaten?" When Li Lanlan saw this headline on the Internet, her heart was confused.
As a medical representative, Li Lanlan has always believed in the health products she sells. Could it be that the efficacy of these "star products" is really so unworthy of the name? Confused and worried, she decided to do some research.
At the first stop, Li Lanlan came to the office of Professor Wang, a well-known nutrition expert. Professor Wang said with a smile: "Health care products, to put it bluntly, are food, but some beneficial ingredients are added.
They do provide the body with certain nutrients, but their efficacy varies from person to person and from time to time. No health care product can cure all diseases, let alone replace drug treatment. If you don't live a healthy lifestyle, even the most expensive health supplements will not work. "
Next, Li Lanlan interviewed several senior medical researchers. They told her that due to the mixed market of health care products, some manufacturers deliberately exaggerate the efficacy of products in their propaganda in order to chase profits, and even fabricate some so-called "special medical effects" to mislead consumers to take them blindly.
There are also some health care products, because of the quality of raw materials, production technology and other problems, simply do not meet the due standards, and some may also have potential safety hazards.
Li Lanlan gradually realized that her cognition of health care products was still on the surface. She gladly accepted the invitation of the hospital's pharmacy department to participate in a study on the efficacy of common health supplements.
Through literature search and data analysis, Li Lanlan was surprised to find that the actual efficacy of many "star health products" is far from being as miraculous as advertised.
Take platinum cerebrosperm as an example, although it is known as the "king of brain care", the body's absorption of it is limited. Supplementing in high doses will not bring additional benefits, but may induce diarrhea, stones and other problems.
Another example is that some "Life No. 1" health care products often equate the simple immune function with "the more the merrier", while ignoring the complex regulatory mechanism of the body's immunity. Overactivating the immune system can lead to autoimmune diseases.
Li Lanlan compiled these findings into a report and presented it to the hospital leaders. She suggested that hospitals should carry out more popular science lectures on the rational use of health care products to help the public clarify misunderstandings and establish a correct health care concept. The leaders recognized this very much and decided to take "reasonable diet, moderate exercise, and psychological balance" as the focus of health education, and guide the public to abandon blind obedience to health care products and establish a scientific awareness of health management.
A few months later, during a community free clinic, Li Lanlan met Aunt Liu, who came to consult. Aunt Liu suffers from high blood pressure and once spent a lot of money to buy various health products that "lower blood pressure" and "nourish the heart", but with little effect.
At Li Lanlan's suggestion, she adjusted her diet, insisted on low salt and low fat, and ate more vegetables and fruits; At the same time, take a 45-minute walk every day and learn to relax with meditation. Gradually, Aunt Liu's blood pressure stabilized, and the whole person became much more comfortable.
"Lan Lan, I kind of get it." Aunt Liu said with emotion, "It is better to spend a lot of money on health care products, than to live every day in a down-to-earth manner." As the saying goes, 'illness comes from the mouth', and a small habit has the greatest impact on health.
These principles sound simple, but they are very knowledgeable to do. It is still up to you to be a 'health coach' like you to remind us from time to time, so that we can understand the 'degree' of life and find the most suitable way for our own health. "
Li Lanlan said sincerely: "Aunt Liu can have this realization, I am really happy for you!" In fact, I didn't have a comprehensive understanding of health supplements before, and I always felt that they were unfathomable and had miraculous curative effects.
Now I understand that health supplements are not a panacea, they are just a 'head' on the way to a healthy life, and the key lies in our own lifestyle choices and adherence to them. As medical professionals, we should do our best to help the public clarify the misunderstandings of health care and teach the most simple and effective health 'scriptures' to everyone. "
This conversation also made the volunteers at the scene nod frequently. Everyone realizes that many people pin their health on a variety of health care products, often because of the lack of health knowledge and confusion about lifestyle, and blindly follow the so-called "anti-aging" secrets.
However, the true meaning of life is actually contained in the careful control of diet and daily life, the persistent adherence to sports and health, and the unremitting pursuit of physical and mental harmony.
Li Lanlan's story has become a good story in the community. More and more people are beginning to use rationality and self-discipline to treat the "double-edged sword" of health care products. Everyone said that no matter how much health care products you buy, it is better to develop a good habit;
No matter how much money you spend, it is better to know how to "plan carefully" for yourself. With such a consensus foundation, the new fashion of "reasonable diet, moderate exercise, and psychological balance" is becoming popular in the community.
This story gives us a lot of reflection. It tells us that health supplements are not a flood of beasts, but they are also not a panacea. We can neither blindly worship nor deny them, but should use a scientific attitude to screen the advantages and disadvantages, and choose to take them in a rational way.
