Providing scientific evidence: Older people are often attracted by exaggerated propaganda and false health care efficacy, so providing scientific evidence is a very convincing method. The research results published by authoritative medical, nutrition or health institutions can be cited to illustrate the real effects of some health care products and explain the scientific principles behind them. For example, you can cite clinical research reports, official statements of drug regulatory agencies, and review articles in medical journals to support your statement.
Cost-effective comparison: Show the elderly some health care products with higher prices, and compare the publicity effect. You can calculate the daily, monthly or annual expenses and compare them with other more economical health care methods, such as healthy eating, regular exercise and regular physical examination. By comparing the cost performance, the elderly can evaluate the value of health care products more rationally.
Investigate the product background: know the manufacturer, product composition, production approval certificate and other information of health care products and share them with the elderly. Relevant information can be obtained through official websites, drug regulatory agencies, consumer reports, media reports and other channels. If there are negative news or complaints about this health care product, you can show it to the elderly to explain its possible risks and problems.
Beware of false propaganda: the health care products market is often accompanied by exaggerated propaganda, false promises and excessive propaganda. Explain the essence of these marketing methods to the elderly and be wary of health care products that may involve false propaganda. For example, remind the elderly to pay attention to health care products that claim to cure all diseases, get immediate results and have no side effects, because these propaganda are likely to be exaggerated or false.
Guide health decision-making: encourage the elderly to consult doctors, pharmacists or other professional medical and health care personnel before purchasing health care products. They can provide professional advice and guidance according to the actual health status and drug use of the elderly. At the same time, help the elderly to cultivate the ability of health decision-making, including the reasonable evaluation of health care products. They can be taught to read product labels, understand product ingredients, pay attention to dosage and usage and other important information in order to make informed decisions.
6. Share consumption experience: If you know the real experience of other consumers on certain health care products, you can share this information with the elderly. You can get other people's feedback and opinions through friends and relatives, social media, online comments and other channels. This can help the elderly to look at health care products from different angles and form a more comprehensive judgment.
7. Emphasize a healthy lifestyle: Health products are usually promoted as a panacea for quickly solving health problems, but in fact, a healthy lifestyle is the key to long-term health. Emphasize the positive effects of good eating habits, adequate exercise, adequate sleep and rich social life on the health of the elderly, and encourage them to adopt a comprehensive health management method instead of relying on a single health care product.
In short, we should adopt a gentle, rational and scientific method to prove to the elderly that some health care products are deceptive. By providing scientific evidence, cost-benefit comparison, product background investigation, preventing false propaganda, guiding healthy decision-making, sharing consumption experience and emphasizing healthy lifestyle, the elderly can better understand the real effects and risks of health care products and make wise decisions.
