Korean medicated diet recruitment

In fact, it is difficult for the elderly to be happy with health food.

Now there is a popular saying in society: "Eat well in the 1980s, eat well in the 1990s, and live a long and healthy life in the new century". I think this is a truth. Although health and longevity can be achieved not only by eating health food, it has a health care effect on the human body.

Only in recent years, with the heating up of health care fever, there are many kinds of health care foods on the market. Some producers and operators of health food set various traps to deceive consumers, resulting in the phenomenon of "those who eat health food don't buy it, and those who buy health food don't eat it". Recently, a joint survey conducted by China Consumers Association and China Society of Health Science and Technology showed that health food exaggerates publicity and plays tricks, accounting for more than 30% out of nothing and 40% exaggerates publicity. How many flowers can you see in the fog of health food? In the eyes of many ordinary consumers, health food is "high-grade goods" and "luxury goods". Because the price is too high, it is too different from the original functional value of food. No wonder the elderly are dissatisfied with health food.

Second, doctors think it is best not to eat health food indiscriminately.

Different people have different views on health food. As a doctor, I think it's best not to eat health food indiscriminately.

First of all, we must figure out what health food is. According to the provisions of the Measures for the Administration of Health Foods, health foods refer to foods with specific health care functions, that is, foods that are suitable for specific people to eat, have the function of regulating the body, and are not aimed at treating diseases. It can be seen that not everyone can eat health food, because it is impossible for a health food to be suitable for everyone. China's health food comes from medicated diet, with definite curative effect but strong pertinence. In traditional Chinese medicine, two pathological states of yin-yang imbalance in human body are expressed by cold and heat respectively. Cold syndrome is mainly manifested as aversion to cold and preference for warmth, tepid limbs, abdominal pain and oppression, white fur and delayed pulse. The main manifestations of heat syndrome are fever and thirst, flushed face and ears, abdominal pain, refusal to press, yellow fur and rapid pulse. According to the therapeutic principle of "heat comes from cold and heat comes from cold" in Chinese medicine, it is beyond reproach to use the different properties of health food to achieve the purpose of supporting yang and suppressing yin, or nourishing yin and suppressing yang, and supplementing yin and yang. Eating supplements indiscriminately, those with deficiency heat eating warm supplements, and those with deficiency cold taking cold health care products by mistake will make things worse. The body is not empty, and even causes some diseases.

It is true that many people in the crowd are weak, which shows that the functions of various tissues, organs and the whole body are low and need tonic. Traditional Chinese medicine calls each pathological state "qi deficiency", and the diseases caused by it are called "deficiency syndrome" The main manifestations are palpitation, shortness of breath, general fatigue, loss of appetite, indigestion, cough, shortness of breath, soreness of waist and knees, etc. For this deficiency syndrome, the application of health food for invigorating qi and blood can play a certain role. However, according to the principle of "the temperature is used for those who are deficient in form, and the taste is used for those who are deficient in essence", those who belong to cold syndrome should supplement warm foods such as mutton and dog meat; Heat syndrome can be supplemented by cool foods, such as yam, black fungus, soybean milk and other foods that nourish yin but are not greasy or stagnant, and the effect of tonifying kidney and nourishing yin is better. No wonder some experts say that eating is like anything. In fact, the real health food is: "five grains are the supplement, five fruits are the help, five animals are the benefit, and five vegetables are the supplement." Old people often say that eating health products sold in the market is mostly the "filial piety" of their children. Whether it works or not, it may be a psychological balance. If you have any serious illness, you must go to the hospital. This is also a fact.

The "dependence" of health food may produce negative feedback adjustment, just like the copper ball valve in the water storage tank. When the water level in the pool rises to a certain height, the copper ball valve will automatically close the valve as the water level rises. For example, the abuse of aphrodisiac health care products artificially increases the content of androgen in the blood, inhibits the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, and reduces or stops the secretion of gonadotropin and gonadotropin. The testis takes the opportunity to "passively work" because of lack of "pressure". Over time, testicular tissue atrophied, degenerated, weakened and even lost the ability to continue to secrete, which exhausted the source of androgen in the body and caused irreversible and permanent impotence. It can be seen that the elderly should not be tempted by health food, and should get rid of the habit of taking supplements.

Third, the elderly expect health food for the elderly.

Of course, the elderly will not give up eating health food because of choking. According to the physiological characteristics of the elderly, the development of food for the elderly must be digestible, delicious, balanced in calories, diversified and fresh in texture, and the dosage should be 1 ~ 2 times. Nutritional foods with the same origin of medicine and food can enhance resistance, mainly foods with high contents of vitamins, calcium and iron; Natural food with low sugar, low salt, low fat, low cholesterol and high protein can be used as the development direction of food for the elderly. As long as the "food safety escort" can be guaranteed, high-quality and cheap health food can be eaten by the elderly, but eating it is good for health, and the elderly will naturally be happy. However, the research and production of food for the elderly in China are quite weak, and the industrial system of food for the elderly has not yet formed. Please pay more attention to health food for the elderly, and it is urgent to develop high-quality health food market for the elderly.
