Rumors about health care are not only available here, but have not fallen behind all over the world.
The following seven statements were once popular in the United States and somewhat affected the Chinese people’s cognition. Dr. Clove took stock of them. After understanding them, let’s not fall for it!
Aspirin to Prevent and Cure All Diseases?
Fake!
For ordinary elderly friends who do not have the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, taking aspirin for a long time is not to prolong life, but to be at risk of various side effects.
The most common ones are acid regurgitation, poor appetite, abdominal distension and pain, etc., and the probability of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage will also increase.
FDA does not recommend aspirin for primary prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases after synthesizing a large number of research data.
Unless there are contraindications or serious complications, patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases and people with high risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases really need aspirin.
Aspirin is of high quality, low price, definite curative effect and trustworthy.
However, it is not a magic medicine for preventing and treating all diseases and cannot be popularized by all people. It should be taken under the guidance of doctors.
People who are not sick, don’t eat indiscriminately.
Does Vitamin C Prevent and Cure Cold?
False.
Some studies have proved that taking vitamin C supplements for a long time may shorten the course of a cold or relieve symptoms.
However, for most people, neither stuttering oranges nor taking vitamin C supplements orally has the effect of preventing or treating colds.
Vitamin C can indeed help us maintain normal immune function and ensure wound healing.
However, there is no conclusive evidence to increase vitamin C intake to enhance immunity and prevent colds.
In contrast, it is more important to stick to a healthy diet and exercise moderately.
It should also be emphasized that the maximum daily tolerable dose of vitamin C for adults is 2 grams (including food). If this amount is exceeded, some people may suffer from abdominal distension, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, headache, insomnia and even kidney stones.
Therefore, VC tablets should not be taken at will.
Can oral collagen beautify?
False.
Many people will ask people to buy collagen powder from the United States. However, how much collagen they eat cannot realize the pursuit of beauty lovers.
The skin does contain collagen, which makes the skin smoother, softer, firmer and shiny by keeping moisture in the dermis.
However, the collagen eaten into the stomach will first be decomposed into amino acids, which is no longer collagen and has no function of collagen and will not produce [cosmetic] effects on the skin.
In addition, as food, collagen is not a good protein and cannot provide all [essential amino acids] needed by human body.
To add one more word, it is basically useless to apply collagen on the face. The skin cannot directly absorb and utilize collagen with such large molecules.
It is better to save the money.
Raw food is more nutritious than cooked food?
False.
Many Europeans and Americans like to eat vegetable salad, and the sashimi of neighboring Japan also belongs to their national dish.
Raw food is more nutritious? Not visible.
Heating does cause the loss of vitamins and other nutrients in vegetables, but usually, people will eat more cooked vegetables than raw vegetables, thus the consumption will make up for the loss of nutrients.
However, lycopene and carotenoids are more easily absorbed and utilized by us after heating.
For meat, beans and other ingredients with high protein content, as well as starch ingredients such as grains, heating can make them better digested and absorbed, and is usually much more delicious.
Another point that cannot be ignored is that full heating can kill harmful bacteria and reduce pesticide residues. From the perspective of food safety, cooking will be better.
Of course, it is also a good choice if you can ensure the hygiene of the ingredients, occasionally want to change the taste, or have become accustomed to raw food, salad and sashimi.
Cell phone spermicidal?
False.
Let’s go straight to the research conclusion.
In the survey on whether the use of mobile phones affects the quality of semen, researchers found that the total amount of semen was not related to the use of mobile phones.
Another study pointed out that one hour of 900 MHz low frequency radiation did not affect the sperm motility of healthy men.
There are also some animal experiments that show that mobile phone radiation has no significant effect on sperm morphology.
The conclusion is that mobile phones will neither emit harmful radiation nor kill sperm.
Cancer patients are all killed?
False.
There is a saying:
More people die from cancer treatment than from cancer directly.
This concept makes many cancer patients worry about regular treatment and even delays the best treatment time.
The development of medicine, the progress of treatment methods and the research and development of new drugs and methods have improved the cure rate and survival rate of many cancers.
Of course, a considerable number of cancers, especially advanced cancers, are still difficult to cure. Moreover, whether it is traditional surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy or new therapies, there will be some adverse reactions or side effects.
Whether to receive treatment or face death calmly requires patients and their families to make a choice, but what needs to be made clear is:
Some cancers can be completely cured by active treatment in the early stage. For advanced cancers, good treatment is not to [completely cure], but to relieve symptoms and improve the quality of life in the future.
In any case, it is hasty, wrong and irresponsible to simply say that [cancer patients will die from treatment].
Are you in sub-health and need recuperation?
False.
The World Health Organization defines health as:
Health is not only the absence of disease, but also includes physical health, mental health, good social adaptation and moral health.
Strictly speaking, few people can fully meet this ideal health standard.
If the state between health and disease is called [sub-health], wouldn’t everyone be sub-health?
In fact, there is no standard for [sub-health]. The research and related statements of a health problem without a clear definition are impossible and untenable.
It is true that quite a number of people feel uncomfortable, but they have not found what. How can this be explained?
This is either an area that has not been recognized by modern medicine, Either it is a psychological problem, or these people may already have some risk factors for diseases, belonging to the [disease of disease]-[subclinical] state-unlike sub-health, subclinical actually has clear medical standards, is the early stage of a certain disease, need to be paid attention to, timely treatment, active monitoring.
Therefore, in the future, if someone sells some products to you under the name of [sub-health], don’t be fooled.
Health care, you should watch something reliable.
