Vitamin E and calcium are the most likely to be supplemented excessively. Unless there are special needs, one multivitamin a day is enough. (This is not true, we don't need one at all.)
A "Vitamin Use Behavior Survey of Chinese Citizens" conducted among urban men and women aged 25 to 50 found that 80% of the respondents believed that their work and rest were not normal. Most of these ethnic groups were foodies and panda families, and 90% of the respondents regarded vitamins as important. Everyday "necessities of life", but only 20% of people have the habit of supplementing vitamins every day. (This figure shows that 20% of the idiots are still living in ignorance so far.)
Nutritionist Li Qingrong pointed out that vitamins are indeed the most convenient source of nutritional supplements for modern people, but it has been found clinically that Chinese people tend to have excessive intake of vitamin E and calcium. Too much is prone to stones, and even affects iron absorption, resulting in anemia. (The truth is told here, what are the side effects of overdose, we just need to eat normally, don't be picky eaters, we need to learn how to get nutrients from food, not eat this artificial substitute.)
The vitamin use survey released yesterday shows that due to the abnormal work and rest of modern people, people are paying more and more attention to their own health. Only 20% of pandas who often stay up late take vitamins to maintain their energy and strengthen their physical strength. (These 20% of the people are cheated, please don't learn from them.)
Supplementary reasons Different purposes for men and women
Why would you want to take a vitamin supplement? The goals of men and women are quite different. In addition to "strengthening one's own body" is the reason why men and women rank first, women love beauty, so "beautifying the skin makes the skin better and increases the relationship with the opposite sex" as the second reason for supplementing vitamins The first reason, followed by "hope to prevent osteoporosis" and "be more energetic and perform better at work". (To make your skin better, you should eat more fruits instead of taking western medicine and calcium tablets. This is the best and only way to prevent osteoporosis.)
For men, work is the focus of life. They hope to take vitamins to make them feel better at work and to pursue better performance. In addition, the reason for men who often socialize outside, the reason for taking vitamins is "to make up for the usual eating and drinking. The guilt of drinking". (This is the most stupid group.)
Li Qingrong said that high work pressure, eating out, and staying up late have become the lifestyle of most people. Abnormal work and rest and eating habits can easily lead to nutritional loss, and unbalanced nutrition can easily lead to hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. For chronic diseases, moderate vitamin supplementation can indeed maintain the health of the body. (As long as you are not picky eaters and have a balanced diet, it is enough, and you do not need to take multivitamins.)
Adults 1 tablet a day is enough
However, she also found that in addition to vitamin supplements, Chinese people also eat various health foods. Clinically, it is often found that people have excessive intake of vitamin E and calcium. She suggested that adults eat 1 multivitamin a day. It is special needs that require additional supplementation. If you do not know what nutrients you need to take, you can also go to the nutrition clinic of the hospital for consultation.
Comment
In the past, we often heard that there were five generations in the same family, and the oldest grandparents never took the so-called multi-vitamins in their lives, but they lived a long life. The staple food was sweet potato porridge, and other small pickles, etc. Eat a lot of sesame seeds, this is a healthy meal for longevity, don’t eat multivitamins, these artificial nutrients, the molecules are too fine, it will be harmful to the human body, it will feed cancer and viruses, etc., which is not good for the body, please don’t be deceived fooled.
