When it comes to health care, many people first think of eating something to nourish the body, either by eating certain foods that replenish qi and blood, or taking some health products, even ginseng and bird’s nest, cordyceps. It is true that if you have been sick for a long time and have a weak body, or if you are prone to catching colds or have a low immune system, it is possible to choose some tonic or food that suits your body type. In the past famine years, most people lack of nutrition, qi and blood weakness, if there are conditions, take some food to nourish the qi and blood is also very beneficial. However, now is the era of excess nutrition, many diseases and sub-health are eaten out of the disease, for most people, and then try to eat something, supplement something to health care, can only increase the burden on the body, especially the gastrointestinal tract, too much supplementation is not suitable for health. Food and health care safety issues continue to come to light, pharmacogenic hazards also continue to appear, from another point of view, this era should no longer be the era of health care with supplements, but the era of health care with less food. Eat less One of the traditional Chinese concept and way of health is to eat only seven minutes full at each meal, as the saying goes, “eat less fragrant, eat more injury”, self-feeling hunger and satiety can be moderate, called “diet in moderation”. In modern life, all kinds of food are readily available, and dinners and dinners are common, so diet is no longer just a way to get the necessary nutrients, but to meet the needs of social interaction, business and emotional emptiness. The human body relies on the spleen and stomach to digest, absorb, and transport food. The delicious and colorful food satisfies the appetite, but it harms our spleen and stomach. Ao Ying, Ming dynasty, “East Valley”, it is written: “more food people have five problems, one stool number, two urine number, three disturbed sleep, four heavy body is not cultivated, five more suffer from food is not digested.” This means that people who eat a lot of stool, the number of urine, more sleep, body obesity and mobility, prone to indigestion. If this is the case for a long time, it will lead to a short life. Therefore, eating properly, the spleen and stomach digestion, absorption function is functioning normally, the body timely nutrition supply, to ensure that a variety of physiological function activities. But “binge drinking hurts the body, more food is harmful to the stomach”, is not good for human health. Oversaturation of excess nutrients leads to subhealth symptoms, such as weakness, drowsiness, dizziness, many people think it is the performance of physical deficiency, so they hope to improve through tonic, or eat more of a certain type of food. The table then has more tonic effect of the mountains and seafood, or is added to the ginseng, wormwood, angelica all kinds of soup. In fact, the stomach and intestines have long been exhausted, a large number of food metabolism processing still feel difficult, how to absorb the food supplement? Genetically modified food, Sudanese red incident, tainted milk powder incident …… gutter oil storm is not settled, “fast fat chicken” and was exposed. The issue of food safety has never left people’s tables, dining out gregarious, unknowingly, along with the delicious food eaten how much legal or illegal, toxic or potentially toxic additives and hormones? Now the market for processed foods, generally can not be separated from a substance – food additives. Illegal additives may be slowly eroding your health without you knowing it. When you have fatigue, sleepiness, physical incompetence, so think of health, hoping to “eat” what, “supplement” what health conditioning, but do not know, on the contrary, due to excess nutrition and food safety, you should consider eating less, less supplement or even No supplements. Animal experiments have proved that both single-celled animals and mammals, if the supply of nutrition is reduced, that is, the normal diet is reduced by thirty to forty percent, the life expectancy can be extended by thirty to sixty percent. At present, China’s per capita life expectancy has exceeded seventy years, if you can adhere to eat only seven percent full, to achieve a balanced nutrition, can be healthier, longer life. Medicine is not as good as food, food is not as good as food, eat less is to maintain health. Eat less health care products health care products are not drugs, and does not have a clear therapeutic efficacy, but in the publicity is said to be like drugs, and even more than drugs “spirit”, not to mention that some health care products converge how many people’s money, delayed the regular treatment, unreasonable use of health care products and unsafe health care products is also the enemy of health. There are many health care products are vitamins, polysaccharides, trace elements, some from plant extracts, and some are herbal extracts. China’s General Standard for Health (Functional) Food defines health food as: “Health (functional) food is a kind of food, with the commonality of general food, can regulate the functions of the human body, suitable for consumption by a specific group of people, but not for the purpose of treating diseases. Health food is different from general food in that it emphasizes the prevention of disease and promote recovery, strengthen resistance, and beauty and other specific regulation of muscle function. At present, health food products are concentrated in three categories: first, anti-aging, second, strengthening immunity, and third, preventing various diseases such as cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, diabetes and tumor. Many health care products are only suitable for a certain body type of people to eat, not all diseases, but in order to expand sales, most of the publicity on the claim that the efficacy of a wide range, unknowingly eat health care products into a high incidence of a major factor in the disease. In fact, this health food contains hypoglycemic ingredients, which is a functional health food, and the daily intake should not be too much. There are also products containing rhubarb detoxification and intestinal cleansing, which belong to the category of detoxification herbs, not everyone can eat, and people with a cold physique are not suitable. Many health care products are written as purely herbal products, but some herbs can directly harm the kidneys when taken for a long time, and even cause serious diseases such as uremia. In addition, the indiscriminate use of certain children’s health supplements can cause an increase in hormone levels in the children’s blood, which can also lead to obesity and precocious sexual maturity. Like food, health care products also have safety problems, the imperfection of the relevant regulations has led to the industry in recent years, the propolis posing as propolis, feed industrial fish oil made of deep-sea fish oil, hormone diet pills, fake starch and even sawdust capsules, and so on, to name a few. Unlike drugs, health care products have strict monitoring standards, so there will be some chemical residues, and even artificially added drugs. It is difficult for ordinary people to have professional knowledge of nutrition and medicine, for the dazzling health care products can not be identified only through advertising to understand. Some products do not have any effect at all, some health products are not suitable for their own physique, but eaten to aggravate the original symptoms. The purpose is to maintain health, but it hurts their own body. From the point of view of health care, health care products are also good to eat less. Nowadays, when you go to the hospital, even if you have a cold, you will be prescribed a big bag of drugs, oral, injectable, and intravenous drip. The elderly suffering from various diseases needless to say, blood pressure, blood lipids, blood sugar, back pain, cardiovascular, gastric disease, insomnia in all aspects to take care of, every day to eat more medicine than meals, really become a jar of medicine. Do not eat can not, high blood pressure to take drugs for life, lipids, blood sugar is also to control, can not sleep, sleeping pills can not be less, the pain is strong can not stand, the doctor let eat, do not dare not eat, each doctor let eat, so it became a medicine jar. The drugs are used to cure the disease, but often press the gourd to float the ladybug. This disease is not cured, another disease came out, drug-derived diseases are also hopeless, can only add drugs to save the emergency. With a disease, eating a mouth full of drugs, in order to get well soon, encounter a new doctor, still asking: I should take some more drugs? Modern medicine is becoming more and more subspecialized, resulting in the patient’s body being ruthlessly dismantled, a disease to register three or five numbers to take care of all aspects, few people consider the same patient for various diseases, whether there is a preferred treatment and comprehensive drug regimen, all these drugs are necessary, there is no interaction between each other? Doctors don’t know, and patients don’t know. Too many drugs and their unreasonable use can affect health care and quality of life. It is worth talking with your doctor in detail about your condition, taking into account your physical condition and making a treatment plan, making a coordination of various drugs, reducing the use of drugs and reducing pharmacogenic hazards. Reasonable arrangement of therapeutic drugs, no medication or less medication, is also health care.
