What are the preventive health products for men?

At present, there is no universal preventive health product suitable for all men. The relatively popular categories supported by some clinical studies are basically functional products corresponding to specific health risks. Those "all-round supplements for men" that are so popular in the live broadcast room are nine out of ten IQ taxes at a premium.

I have come across many people who buy health care products based on the cheating of anchors. Last week, a 28-year-old programmer friend spent more than 500 on an imported compound tablet that is said to "anti-fatigue, prevent hair loss and nourish the kidneys." When I got it, I looked at the ingredient list. It was basic vitamins with some zinc added, and the cost was tens of dollars. He usually eats very little fruits and vegetables with takeaways, and his physical examination revealed that he was deficient in B vitamins and D. If he bought an ordinary multivitamin approved by China, it would cost more than ten dollars to solve the problem.

If you usually socialize a lot, often stay up late, and occasionally feel chest tightness, someone around you may recommend Coenzyme Q10 to you. Studies have confirmed that for people who already have basic cardiovascular problems, supplementing Coenzyme Q10 can help reduce the risk of discomfort, but healthy people daily There has been a fierce debate in the academic community about whether to take supplements regularly. Some studies say that it can relieve the fatigue caused by staying up late for a long time, while other large-sample controlled trials show that there is no difference between taking supplements and a placebo. If you really want to choose, don’t buy the concept model that costs hundreds of dollars. The ingredients of regular and compliant products are not much different.

Many male friends over 40 are concerned about prostate health. My dad’s physical examination last year revealed that he had mild prostatic hyperplasia. The old guys in the square dance group recommended lycopene to him. I went through the clinical literature of the past five years, and indeed some experiments showed that the daily intake is about 10mg. Lycopene on the right can reduce the risk of prostate hyperplasia progression, but there are also studies with the same sample size that have reached the opposite conclusion. To put it bluntly, individual differences are quite large. If you really have symptoms of frequent urination and urgency, you must go to the urology department for examination as soon as possible. Don’t delay things by just eating this.

There is also deep-sea fish oil that many people like to stock up on. Uncle Zhang downstairs heard someone say that deep-sea fish oil can clear blood vessels and prevent cerebral infarction. He bought nearly a thousand yuan of the imported version and eats it every day. He likes to eat fat meat and drink a lot of wine. He almost never eats fish. After eating it for three months, he went for a physical examination and found out that glycerin On the contrary, the triesters have risen a lot. The doctor said that fish oil itself is also fat. If a healthy person can eat deep-sea fish such as salmon and mackerel twice a week, there is no need to take extra supplements. If there is true blood lipid abnormality, you must first take lipid-lowering drugs as prescribed by the doctor. Health supplements are at most a supplement.

To be honest, when choosing preventive health care products, don’t blindly buy them based on the “men only” label. Just like when you maintain your car, adding 92% oil is enough. If you have to add 98% oil, it will not only be useless, but may also damage the car. It is best to ask a doctor or nutritionist with the physical examination report first to make up for what is missing. Don’t forget that no matter how good health care products are, they can’t stop you from staying up late, drinking and smoking every day. Healthy living habits are the most effective “preventive medicine”.
