The most healthy amount is "in moderation", and some things may seem beneficial, but they can also be excessive.

More dietary supplements is not always better.

Although the concept of a balanced diet has been advocated for many years, in reality, most people still find it difficult to achieve, so there may be nutritional deficiencies in vitamins, calcium, protein and other aspects.

There are also various dietary supplements on the market that can be used to make up for dietary deficiencies.

However, many friends have fallen into the misunderstanding of "blind supplementation" and "abuse", and should clarify whether they have obvious deficiencies before taking the corresponding dietary supplements. Even with vitamins, excessive supplementation can lead to toxicity.

In addition, it is important to make it clear that diet is the preferred way to supplement nutrition, and dietary supplements are only used to fill the gap, and should not be used as a substitute for dietary nutritional needs.

Walking is not always better.

Studies have surfaced that people under the age of 60 who walk 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day have the greatest benefits in terms of life expectancy and cardiovascular health, compared to 6,000 to 8,000 steps a day for people over the age of 60.

Of course, it does not mean that walking more will be harmful, but the amount and intensity of exercise need to be determined according to the individual's physical condition.

For example, for middle-aged and elderly people with deterioration of body functions, or people with sports injuries, there is no need to exceed their own tolerance limits to forcibly pursue sports goals such as "walking 10,000 steps a day".

Napping is not always better.

After napping, it can restore our energy and relieve fatigue, and there are also studies that show that people with napping Xi have a lower risk of cognitive decline after 2 or 10 years.

On the other hand, there are also studies that show that people who take naps for more than 1 hour have an increased risk of diabetes. And if the nap time is too long, it is easy to produce "sleep inertia", and after waking up, it will be more sleepy and irritable.

Therefore, it is generally recommended to take a nap, preferably within half an hour.
