China Youth Daily Client News (China Youth Daily, China Youth Daily reporter Wang Congcong) Under the epidemic, staying at home in many cities has become the norm. Apart from “hard currency” such as food, vegetables and cola, what are you still stocking up on? The “Home Health Trend Insights” released by Ali Health Research Institute on May 27 shows that “health upgrade” and “doubling the hoarding of medicines” have become new trends in home health, and the demand for chronic disease medication, test strips, sleep, eye health and other related products Both showed substantial growth.
After staying at home, many people’s lives have become “five points and one line” – dining table, desk, bathroom, bed and downstairs nucleic acid testing point.
Perhaps due to the elimination of many outdoor activities such as commuting, more people began to experience discomfort in the lumbar and cervical spine. Since the beginning of this year, the turnover of Tmall health plaster stickers has nearly doubled year-on-year, and the scraping board, which helps to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, has increased by nearly 13 times year-on-year.
Staying at home for many days also seems to have exacerbated “hair volume anxiety.” Since the beginning of this year, the turnover of hair growth instruments has increased by nearly three times year-on-year.
“Home Health Trend Insights” shows that the number of users buying lutein has increased by nearly 3 times year-on-year since the beginning of this year. The number of users increased by 50% year-on-year, and the transaction volume of fish oil/deep-sea fish oil increased by nearly 60% year-on-year. Behind the above data is the problem of eye discomfort caused by more people working from home for a long time.
In addition, since the beginning of this year, the transaction value of probiotics and digestive system prescription drugs has increased by nearly 40% year-on-year. May 29th is World Gut Health Day. Experts remind that people who stay at home for a long time should pay more attention to maintaining a relatively healthy diet. For example, don’t sit on the toilet for a long time and use mobile phones.
In the state of working from home, high-quality sleep has also become a rigid need, and sleep aid-related products have also seen a relatively large increase. Among them, the transaction value of sleep instruments increased by nearly 45 times year-on-year, and the transaction value of prescription drugs tonic and tranquilizers increased by nearly 40% year-on-year. It is worth mentioning that the sales volume of anti-snoring devices increased by 70% year-on-year, which probably means that more people use the method of buying such “artifacts” for the other half to invest in the “sleep defense war”.
Since this year, the demand for prescription drugs corresponding to a variety of chronic diseases has seen a relatively large increase. Among them, the transaction price of hepatobiliary drugs increased by 50% year-on-year, and the transaction value of endocrine system drugs increased by nearly 60%. The World Health Organization also recommends that when you are at home, if you have chronically ill patients at home, don’t forget to stock up on common medicines.
Home self-inspection has also become a new trend. The convenience of household appliances allows everyone to achieve home health management without leaving home, and the blessing of new technologies also makes home self-testing more accurate and convenient. In March of this year, the antigen self-test paper was launched on Tmall Health, and the growth rate in April was nearly 9 times. Since the launch of Tmall 618 pre-sale, the pylori tube for Helicobacter pylori detection, the puff tube for fecal occult blood detection, blood glucose meters, blood pressure monitors, etc. are all popular products.
It is also a necessary agenda to take the elevator downstairs and line up to do nucleic acid during office breaks. In view of the strong infectiousness of this round of Omicron strains, many disease control departments have suggested that it is best to wear N95 masks (medical protective masks) when queuing for nucleic acid testing. Correspondingly, the demand for N95 masks has shown explosive growth-in March, April and May this year, the turnover of N95 masks increased by 17 times, 29 times and 18 times year-on-year respectively.
