Health products that you might not really need

Health products that you might not really need

health-productsThere are health products you will see on TV, see on billboards, and all your friends might have it already, but why be dragged into the hype? These health products that you can buy over the counter may not always be worth your money while some may even cause you more problems than doing you good:

Eye drops to reduce redness

You are wondering why you look like you are nominated as the best individual with the worst hangover in the world so you buy that little bottle of eye drops to help with the redness. Eye drops though may not help in the long run since the real problem will be masked and you will not be treating dry eyes, irritation, or allergies after all. Instead, go to your doctor and get a workup so the real problem can be pinpointed.

Antibacterial liquid hand soap

There have been no studies that have established that these antibacterial soaps are better than their regular soap counterparts. Instead of paying extra, your good old water and soap combo might be as effective.

Toothbrush sanitizers

There are thousands if not millions of germs in the human mouth and the toothbrush we buy does not come sealed so most likely they already carry germs when we take them out of the packaging. The toothbrush sanitizers though that you see in the market has not show any benefits according to studies. Instead of buying these products, you just need to wash your toothbrush with tap water thoroughly and a healthy body will always defend itself against germs.

Mouthwash

You really do not need a mouthwash for everyday use unless your dentist prescribes one to treat some problems in your mouth. All you have to do is regularly brush your teeth and floss at least twice a day. And do not miss you appointment with the dentist. If you have bad breath, it might be a warning sign of an underlying problem like tooth decay or gum disease, so do not go for a quick fix using a mouthwash but see your dentist as soon as you can.
