How to correctly educate the elderly about health care products

1. Popularization education of relevant knowledge. The elderly have many misunderstandings and cognitive errors about nutrition, health care and drugs. Due to information asymmetry, many elderly people lack medical knowledge and professional knowledge in medicine, and are easily misled by various advertisements. Therefore, it is very necessary to improve the health literacy of the elderly and enhance their health care concept. You can invite doctors or nutritionists to give lectures, popularize nutrition knowledge and drug knowledge, and prove the effectiveness of these health care products with practical examples.

2. Provide scientific reference. Providing scientific evidence may be the best way to persuade the elderly. It can provide recognized scientific research information, scientific and real data for the elderly to support their views. When the elderly see a large number of studies showing that they are not beneficial, they are usually more inclined to believe it is true.

3. Break the traditional rumors and expose the drug market. The scale and coverage of marketing is very wide, from media propaganda to online endorsement, which is everywhere, and sometimes it will inevitably produce the effect of conformity. Therefore, it is very necessary to break these rumors, reveal the drug market and let the elderly know the marketing strategy of health care products. It can help the elderly distinguish between real professional drugs and health care products that are not effectively believed. Educate them never to believe in advertisements, especially those for health products without scientific basis.

4. Supervision and proper purchase. Provide the correct consumption channels and supervision mechanism, so that the elderly can buy medicine with peace of mind. These methods include guiding the elderly to buy health care products and medicines through reliable purchase channels, enhancing the bottom line quality of information and avoiding buying fake medicines or health care products with mixed ingredients.

In short, explaining the true meaning of health care products to the elderly and improving their scientific literacy and health awareness are necessary steps to prevent them from being misled and fooled and ensure their health. Through education, providing scientific basis, revealing the drug market, strengthening the supervision and correct purchase of the elderly can effectively help the elderly to eliminate unnecessary consumption and risks of unnecessary health care products and improve their health level and quality of life.
