In recent years, with the improvement of people's awareness of health preservation, more and more people have begun to pay attention to their physical health. And with the improvement of living standards and the progress of science and technology, many middle-aged and elderly people have begun to use smart phones. Parents and relatives at home will always believe some health and wellness news that has no source and forward it to their children. If this health knowledge is really good for the body, it is naturally good.
However, most of the health knowledge forwarded on social media is yet to be verified, and sometimes it may have a certain impact on middle-aged and elderly friends. Especially for many health care products under the banner of health, many middle-aged and elderly friends will use their hard-earned money to buy these useless products, which may not only be useless, but also some products may affect our physical health, which can be said to be more than worth the loss.
Reminder: These regimens on social media, or "wolves in sheep's clothing", should be aware of them
1. Is it best to sweat a lot during exercise?
Exercise is an indispensable measure in the process of health preservation, but to achieve the purpose of health preservation, you must first stay away from the wrong exercise methods, such as the very popular exercise to sweat weight loss behavior. From a physiological point of view, sweating when we exercise is a normal physiological phenomenon, and the amount of sweating is related to our physical fitness.
What many people don't know is that water in the body is generally present in our body fluids and muscle cells, so even if we sweat a lot, it will be replenished immediately after we drink water. So I would like to remind everyone that if you are taking care of your body through exercise, and you are very curious to know if you have achieved results, sweating is not the right evaluation criterion.
2. Can diabetics eat sugar-free food without burden?
Many businesses seize on the fact that diabetics can't eat sugar, claiming that some foods are sugar-free so diabetics can be safe to eat. In fact, many sugar-free foods simply do not contain sucrose and still contain ingredients such as maltose. These ingredients can also cause an increase in the patient's blood sugar after consumption.
In addition, even though these sugar-free foods contain sugar substitutes such as maltitol, sorbitol, xylitol, and lactose, which meet the standards, they still contain substances such as starch and fat, which can easily cause blood sugar spikes if not controlled. Therefore, diabetics should not be deceived by these false claims.
In normal times, diabetic patients want to control their blood sugar, in addition to taking medicine, they must also strictly control their diet and exercise more.
3. Is it healthier to eat only vegetarian?
Some people in life believe that eating only vegetarian is the key to maintaining good health, as it can control our weight and prevent obesity from happening. But in fact, balanced nutrition is the key to staying healthy. If a person eats only a vegetarian diet for a long time and does not have enough access to the nutrients that other human bodies need, then physical health problems may arise after certain nutrient deficiencies.
4. Can eating health products prevent diseases?
Many people are keen to consume some health supplements in their lives, believing that it can help us prevent diseases and enhance physical fitness. However, over-reliance on health supplements not only fails to bring health benefits, but also harms human health. For the elderly who already have a disease, taking health supplements has no therapeutic effect and will also affect their condition.
This is because health supplements themselves do not have a therapeutic effect, they are just health foods. For people who are in good health, there is no need to consume health supplements because excessive intake of health supplements can also put a burden on our kidneys.
For example, for people who are not deficient in vitamin C, long-term excessive intake of vitamin C can also cause us to develop diseases such as arteriosclerosis and urinary tract stones. Therefore, health preservation is not achieved through health supplements, and people should also stay away from misconceptions about health supplements.
5. Can everyone soak their feet for health?
Soaking your feet is a very popular way to maintain your health, no matter what time of year it is. Soaking our feet before going to bed can not only relax our body and mind, but also dredge the meridians and eliminate the cold in the body. But while there are many benefits to foot soaking, it doesn't mean that we can keep our body healthy by soaking our feet every day. If the foot soak is not done well, it may also cause harm to our body, such as soaking the foot for too long or the water temperature is too high.
In short, when understanding the health regimen, it is also necessary to make a specific analysis according to your own situation. If people who are not suitable for foot bathing, such as those with diabetes and other diseases, forcing themselves to soak their feet or soaking their feet in the wrong way can cause damage to our physical health.
In short, our health regimen should be based on scientific health knowledge, adopt moderate health preservation methods, and do not blindly follow or superstitious, so as to ensure that our body is in a healthy state.
