As age increases, older persons become less resilient and more concerned about health hazards, many look to anti-bacterial products and even think that the use of anti-bacterial products by older persons can prevent all old age diseases, which is a big mistake.
Antibacterial products are readily visible in everyday life, and antibacterial hand-washing liquids remove bacteria such as coli and yellow grapes from hands and reduce the risk of hand-borne transmission of diseases; antibacterial washing fluids inhibit clothing from breeding bacteria and keep it relatively clean. These products do, to some extent, reduce bacterial exposure and create a cleaner environment for life, initially to contribute to people ‘ s health.
But the causes of old age diseases are complex and are by no means simple for antibacterial products. On the one hand, cardiovascular diseases, known as the “first-largest killer” of the health of older persons, are mainly a result of unhealthy lifestyles such as aging of the veins, blood resin abnormalities, hypertension, smoking and alcohol, and genetic factors. Long-term high blood pressure causes great pressure on the vascular wall, which gradually loses elasticity and forms an artery sclerosis; high cholesterol and fat diets contribute to the accumulation of lipids within the vascular wall and block the veins step by step. Antibacterial products are simply incapable of preventing the coronary heart disease, as well as moderate cardiovascular diseases in the brain.
Diabetes is mostly caused by deficiencies in insulin or by the impairment of its biological effects, which are characterized by obesity, insufficient exercise and family genetics. The physical metabolic function of older persons is declining, and blood sugar can easily be out of control if it is prolonged and overfed. Antibacterial products can neither regulate insulin function nor improve physical metabolism, with little use for diabetes prevention.
Moreover, the human body is a complex ecosystem, and over-reliance on antibacterial products can be counterproductive. The skin of older persons is dry and fragile, and their surface normal population acts as a protective barrier against invasive alien bacteria. Frequent use of anti-bacterial products, such as strong anti-bacterial showers, disinfected wet towels, which are highly susceptible to disrupting the swarm balance of skin surfaces, and the reduction of beneficial bacteria, make harmful bacteria available, with problems of skin itching, infection and so forth, which contribute to health disruption.
Moreover, the causes of dementia are still unknown, and the dominant view is that it is associated with the deposition of beta-dry powder samples in the brain, tau protein overphosphate and neuro-inflammation, as well as genetic, head trauma and educational attainment. Antibacterial products do not intersect with these contributing factors and it is not possible to prevent the occurrence of dementia.
The real prevention of old age also depends on a combination of measures. Healthy diets are key, and older persons should eat more vegetables, vegetables, whole grains, quality proteins, reduce salt, oil, sugar intake, control body weight and avoid obesity to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Moderate exercise is equally important, with aerobics, such as walking, Tai Chi, sustained several times a week, which promotes blood circulation, enhances CPR function and slows down body failure. Periodic medical check-ups are essential, and early detection and early intervention, by monitoring indicators such as blood pressure, blood sugar, blood resin, etc., kill the disease in its infancy.
While the use of anti-bacterial products by older persons has some cleaning effect, they must not be superstitious about preventing all geriatric diseases. It is only by establishing the right health concept, starting at the point of life, with a science-based lifestyle and a good health-care age, that old age disorders can be reduced and a long and healthy life can be achieved.
