Vitamin tablets: longevity medicine or psychological comfort-healthy recipes and snacks

on a certain day in the press to see such an article, saying that the earliest Chinese biochemist and nutritionist Professor Zheng Ji has longevity 108 years old, still living a normal , self-care. Mr. insist the law of life, personal time, light and balanced diet, daily exercise. Him drink milk, eat eggs, soy products and fruits and vegetables, together with the appropriate amount of staple food.

these so-called secret of longevity, does not seem magical sounds. Reporters are more interested in is several decades old gentleman insist vitamin practice: every day 10,000 units of vitamin A, are recommended for nearly 4 times the quantity; vitamin B1 to eat 10 mg Recommend are 7 times more than the quantity; Vitamin C serving 300 mg Recommend are the number of 3 times; serving 100 mg vitamin E, recommend are many times the quantity of 7.

In fact, many nutrition workers privately admitted that they regularly take vitamin supplements. One female professor said that she ate 10,000 units of vitamin A has been ten years, what adverse reactions are not. Vitamin C, people eat more, most of the dose is 300 mg.

However, some recent scientific reports, allow people to eat vitamin's spirits began to greatly reduced: by the end of 2008 the disclosure of the two involved more than 50,000 long-term study found that vitamin C and E, and selenium supplements do not lower the risk of prostate cancer, colon cancer, bladder cancer or pancreatic cancer risk, nor to make a healthier heart. Even after taking supplements, prostate cancer and diabetes risk have minor improve.

In fact, this is not breaking news. In recent years the number of studies found that vitamin and mineral supplements can not fight against cancer, stroke and cardiovascular disease. For example, even though dietary survey found that calcium and vitamin D intake with high risk of female breast cancer is relatively small, but for women taking vitamin D and calcium supplements 7 years did not reduce the risk of breast cancer. In another example, one group of researchers of the near 40,000 women in the 10-year survey and found that taking vitamin E supplements in people suffering from heart disease, stroke and risk of other cancers, with people taking exactly the same as placebo.

it seems, in large measure, the prevention of vitamin pills is not a panacea for aging and disease. Taking them, and make other people feel love for health care for the body, be able to play the role of a placebo. However, they totally are not a substitute for healthy diet, not a substitute for fresh food contained in the role of the health factor.

In other words, by eating vegetables and fruits to obtain 300 mg of vitamin C, their health effects are quite enormous; however, do not eat vegetables and fruit, just eat 300 mg of vitamin C tablets, the effect is very questionable. Health food ingredients are collective existence, and they and a variety of food ingredients interaction, mutual protection, to achieve maximum results. Because of this reason, when the vitamin, but also the best time and food are dining with dose.

Make no shortcut health, disease prevention is no panacea. Are rare perennial insist a healthy lifestyle. Professor Zheng Ji, if the daily chaos of life, diet, vitamin alone, I am afraid that can not be achieved today's status and longevity. Perhaps the eight-day 10 days insist do not see tangible results, but over the past few years, the past several decades, its effect would be astounding.

just the arrival of New Year, many people will lament their own old age of one. However, Professor Zheng Ji Bibi, we are also too young. 40 Next year 18 this year is only a wishful thinking, as long as the change in the wrong way of life, 40 this year, next year 38, are not achievable goal.

Here, think of the ancients on to say: understanding the past does not remonstrance, known to the person to be recoverable; really lost its not far away, feel this was wrong. If you felt like this can put to use in a healthy life, get down to change the bad habit of becoming more barren must allow the body back to life. If only几粒vitamin tablets to comfort themselves, are not too impetuous a吗... ...天道酬勤truth will never change!
