The National Nutrition Week is organized by the Chinese Nutrition Society and is now the 10th year. Focusing on Article 3 of the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2022) "Eat more vegetables and fruits, milk, whole grains, and soybeans", and Article 5 "Eat less salt and less oil, control sugar and limit alcohol", the theme of this year's National Nutrition Week is "Milk Beans Add Nutrition, Less Oil is Healthier", aiming at the problem of low milk and bean intake and oil intake much higher than the recommended amount of mainland residents, advocating to improve dietary quality and reduce the occurrence and development of obesity and chronic diseases.
Yu Kang, vice president of the Chinese Nutrition Society, explained the theme of the National Nutrition Week, "Milk beans add nutrition, less oil is healthier"
During the ceremony, the Chinese Nutrition Society announced that 13 projects won the bid for the "Special Fund for Breakfast Nutrition and Health Patterns of Reasonable Diet for Chinese Residents", encouraging professional scientific research teams to explore basic research on breakfast nutrition from the two directions of science popularization and scientific research, and promoting the popularization and awareness of breakfast nutrition and health patterns.

Milk beans are good CP, less oil is healthier
Reasonable nutrition and balanced diet are the material basis of human health, and the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2022) put forward eight guidelines for a balanced diet:
1. Diverse food and reasonable collocation; 2. Eat and move in a balanced manner and have a healthy weight; 3. Eat more fruits and vegetables, milk, whole grains, and soybeans; 4. Eat fish, poultry, eggs, and lean meat in moderation; 5. Less salt and less oil, control sugar and limit alcohol; 6. Eat regularly and drink plenty of water; 7. Be able to cook and choose, and be able to read labels; 8. Divide meals with chopsticks and eliminate waste.
It is understood that a long-term diet high in oil, salt and sugar has led to more than half of mainland residents being overweight and obese, bringing health risks such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and some specific cancers.
During the National Nutrition Week, experts came to support: three subtractions, one addition and one addition, a variety of food to eat, and perseverance in exercise

Nutrition starts "early" Breakfast has a special fund for scientific research
In August last year, the Chinese Nutrition Society, with the support of the Amway Nutrilite Nutrition and Health Research Center, compiled the "Breakfast Nutrition and Health Model for Chinese Residents". In December, Amway invested 2 million yuan to cooperate with the Chinese Nutrition Society to set up the "Special Fund for Reasonable Diet Breakfast Nutrition and Health Model for Chinese Residents" to promote the basic research of breakfast nutrition in the scientific community, and advocate people to develop reasonable dietary habits and cultivate healthy lifestyles.
Peng Xianwu, general manager of R&D and technical regulations of Amway (China), said that more than 10% of mainland residents cannot eat breakfast every day, and nearly 90% of adults have a single variety of breakfast, low quality, insufficient intake of vegetables, fruits and milk, and insufficient and uneven nutritional intake. The "Breakfast Nutrition and Health Model of Chinese Residents" gives scientific guidance on the importance of breakfast nutrition and the comprehensive, balanced and timing of nutritional intake. The winning project of this fund will further deepen the research on scientific diet, especially the research and popularization of breakfast nutrition and health patterns, and promote the public to "eat well", "eat right" and "eat healthy".
The "Nutrition and Health Model of Chinese Residents' Breakfast" proposes:
l The amount of food for breakfast should account for 25-30% of the total food throughout the day, and the energy supply should be similar to that for lunch and dinner;
l Breakfast should not only be quick and convenient, but also ensure the diversity of food, so as to achieve balanced, sufficient and comprehensive nutrition
1 serving of cereal staple food, 1 serving of milk eggs and other foods, 1 serving of vegetables and 1 serving of fruits; High-quality foods containing high-quality proteins, unsaturated fatty acids and phospholipids, etc.; Foods that contain nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and plant compounds; foods rich in probiotics;
l Choose foods with high nutrient density
l Less fried and pickled foods and pastries that are high in oil, salt and sugar.
