Now there is one smart phone in hand, and fashionable elders are no exception.
If we teach our elders to use WeChat, the circle of friends will probably become like this:
In fact, we can understand that as people get older, they all want to live a healthy life and hope to find some simple and effective methods to [preserve one’s health].
If it is general nutrition, healthy middle-aged and elderly people should eat some. However, if the elders in the family suffer from the diseases mentioned below, they must be reminded not to fall for it.
Garlic cure all diseases? Fake
Articles on garlic health preservation in WeChat Circle of Friends have been very popular. Rumor has it that garlic and garlic products (so-called health products made of garlic extract) are almost [cure all diseases] and can prevent cancer, bacteria, blood lipid, blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, etc.
People who are good at thinking must realize that garlic is one of the most important ingredients in their daily diet. If it is so multifunctional, why are there so many cancers, infections and cardiovascular diseases?
In fact, modern medicine is also studying garlic, but the multi-function claimed earlier either fails the experiment or is still controversial. Therefore, it is better to give up the idea of eating a kind of food to strengthen the body earlier.
Natto Reduces Blood Lipids? Fake
Natto was originally a very popular food in Japan. After being hyped by merchants in recent years, Natto and Natto extracts have many magical functions, and the most widely spread among friends are [thrombolysis, lipid reduction and blood vessel dredging].
In fact, Natto is a product obtained by fermenting soybeans after cooking. To say that eating Natto is good, it is only similar to eating other fermented bean products, and cannot achieve the effects of [dissolving thrombus and reducing blood lipid].
As for natto’s extract, its efficacy is greatly exaggerated. The so-called benign effect of [nattokinase] on certain diseases is only reflected in a few animal experiments, and it is still far from whether it really works in humans.
It should be emphasized that although modern medicine has developed several drugs to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, most of them think that they can only [delay] but not [reverse] the formation of thrombus. In this way, it is almost impossible to completely remove thrombus through drugs, let alone a common food.

Some people say that I am tired of the rumors forwarded by my elders every day, so I simply block them.
In fact, the elders certainly did not intend to forward rumors, but they contacted the Internet much later than us and lacked the ability to distinguish the popular content on the Internet. Therefore, teaching them to distinguish will not only enable them to enjoy the convenience brought by the Internet and technology, but also will not be cheated and victimized.
