When I was a kid, I followed my mother to the supermarket.

Melon seeds and peanuts Guifei candy, I can never get enough of it

When I grow up, I will also think about preparing some gifts for my family.

Food, drinks and daily necessities, nothing can be missing!

Send elders

Every cold winter is a test for the elderly, not to mention the challenge of "infection" this year, which makes everyone pay special attention to health issues; plus, most of the elderly and parents are more traditional and frugal, so it must be practical !

Health monitoring equipment

First, there are blood oximeters and thermometers, which can monitor the blood oxygen saturation and body temperature of family members in a timely manner;

Under normal conditions: blood oxygen ≥ 95%, body temperature around 36.5℃ (basal body temperature of the elderly may be lower)

The second is the monitoring instruments for common underlying diseases such as blood pressure monitors and blood glucose meters;

Under normal conditions: systolic blood pressure is 90-139 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure is 60-89 mmHg, and the normal fasting blood sugar level for adults is 3.9~6.1 mmol/L

Foot bath bucket

As the saying goes, "People who know how to soak their feet get sick less often!", but doctors from West China University of Political Science and Law remind you: the prerequisite is that you have to know how to soak your feet!

Time : Soaking your feet in the morning will make you feel energetic, and soaking your feet before going to bed will help you sleep well; at the same time, it is best to control the time to 10-20 minutes (Note: it is not advisable to soak your feet within half an hour after a meal).

Temperature : about 40℃ is appropriate, preferably not more than 50℃, it is best to soak until you sweat slightly~

Physical examination package

It is recommended that you consult major hospitals and conduct targeted examinations based on your family's health, lifestyle, budget, etc. We can also use this form to urge our elders to have regular physical examinations and adjust their status every year~

Health products, vitamins

Let me make it clear to everyone first! Normal adults who maintain a normal diet do not need to take additional health supplements. However, in some special cases, they can take them appropriately:

-If you have a risk of cardiovascular disease or high triglycerides, you may consider taking fish oil

- Elderly people over 60 years old are advised to take calcium tablets and vitamin D as prescribed by their doctor

-If you don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables, take one or two multivitamin tablets

-Middle -aged women, pregnant women, and growing teenagers can take calcium supplements appropriately

Ultimately, eating well is the fundamental thing, which cannot be replaced by any health products; moreover, the nutrients in food are richer and safer than health products.

Send children

Little kids really look forward to the Chinese New Year! Often, they are already dancing with excitement even a month or so before the Chinese New Year. They are looking forward to the winter vacation, wearing new clothes, receiving big red envelopes (which they will eventually give to their moms), and new year gifts full of surprises !

LEGO

I guess many adults’ eyes started to light up too!!

Its high participation and rich creativity will bring happiness to children and adults of every age. It is recommended that you choose according to the recommended age, so that it will not be too difficult to assemble, nor will it be boring.

The whole family can play together, and you can also exercise your child's cooperation ability in the company. Of course, as long as you don't play too much~

puzzle

We all know that there are many benefits for children to play puzzles, such as developing observation, hands-on skills, concentration, patience, etc.

But when we choose, we must choose puzzles of appropriate difficulty according to the age of the child step by step; in the process, it would be better if parents can encourage their children by their side~

Probiotics

Many parents give their children probiotics as nutritional supplements, but in fact probiotics do not provide nutrition, they are essentially bacteria (they are good and well-behaved bacteria);

Especially for children who have a poor appetite and want to regulate their gastrointestinal tract, it can promote physical development:

-Balance intestinal flora to solve children's picky eating and poor appetite problems

- Relieve intestinal inflammation and irritable bowel syndrome

-Relieve diarrhea and constipation

-Prevent and treat digestive tract diseases

However, when buying probiotics, you should still listen to the doctor's advice; because the intestinal flora of each person or the same person at different times is different, and different probiotics have different effects.

Five years of college entrance examination and three years of simulation

This is a book that confuses children.

This is a set of books that are famous for giving older children headaches.

This is a book that will make all the aunts and uncles praise it for its thoughtfulness.

This is for my little nephew who just entered the first grade of primary school. I wish him a 4150-day countdown to the college entrance examination starting from the New Year!

Food for the whole family

During every Chinese New Year or other festival, the warm family time always has to include the sound of cracking nuts, making a pot of tea, peeling an orange, and chatting about family matters to feel the festive atmosphere .

nut

The "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Elderly People (2022)" states that nuts are a good choice for food diversification, whether as dishes or snacks. It is recommended to consume about 70g per week (equivalent to about 10g per day).

Studies have shown that people who consume nuts in moderation over a long period of time can reduce their risk of cardiovascular death by 27%.

However, it should be noted that the intake of nuts needs to be controlled and try to buy original flavors; avoid frying, sugar coating and salt baking, which will lead to excessive intake of added sugars and sodium salt.

Fruits and vegetables

Increasing the intake of vegetables and fruits can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and death. Eating more fruits and vegetables can reduce the risk of esophageal cancer and colon cancer.

However, considering the nutritional value and freshness, it is recommended to only prepare about 3 days' worth of vegetables and fruits.

Since we are talking about New Year's goods, some people will definitely say "Huh~"

What about sausage, bacon and smoked ribs?

What about Thousand Layer Walnut Cookies Sparkling Coke?

These are the representatives of the New Year

From a health perspective, it is not recommended that you stock up too much.

Or refer to the healthy way to eat better

1

High-salt pickled meats

Bacon, salted duck, salted goose, sausage, etc. are must-have New Year's goods for many families, but it is really not recommended to eat too much of this kind of food!

Excessive salt content: The sodium content in every 100 grams of bacon is close to 800 mg, which is more than ten times the average amount of pork! High sodium content not only induces high blood pressure, but also increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis.

Less nutrition: Salt will cause varying degrees of loss of B vitamins, vitamin C, niacin and protein in meat.

Contains nitrite: It is toxic in itself. 0.3-0.5 grams of nitrite can oxidize the normal oxygen-carrying hemoglobin in the blood into methemoglobin, which loses its oxygen-carrying capacity and causes tissue hypoxia. After entering the human body, it will generate nitrosamines when it encounters amine substances. Long-term consumption may cause gastric cancer and esophageal cancer.

Sweetened beverages

Whether it is fruit juice drinks, carbonated drinks, or milk-flavored drinks, they are generally high in sugar and low in nutrition; consuming too much sugar can easily lead to risks such as obesity and fatty liver...

In addition to being high in sugar (which is its biggest health risk), carbonated drinks also contain "phosphoric acid/phosphate" ingredients, which can affect calcium absorption; large amounts of acidic sugar byproducts can corrode teeth; and they can easily irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa and reduce the body's digestive function.

3

Biscuits and cakes containing trans fats

Trans fat is called "a time bomb on the table"!

Its main harm to the human body is affecting cardiovascular health. Secondly, it may also cause obesity, increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease, and induce diabetes...

There may be many people who choose a simpler way - directly transfer the money and let their family members buy according to their needs, which can also avoid the embarrassment of choosing the wrong gift.

However, New Year's goods are like the icing on the cake, and gifts can speak ; especially at an important moment like the Spring Festival when the family is reunited, a thoughtful gift can add an extra surprise to the family.

I sincerely wish every friend who sees this, no matter how far away from home, the affection with family can always be close~
