The foundation of the growth of health food - nutrition science.

, Liang Wenwen, a reporter for this
, said that "cang't know the etiquette, food and clothing and know the honor and humiliation." When people gradually meet the basic food and clothing, they will have a higher demand for food - nutrient-rich. Health food has always been well known for its rich nutrition and special efficacy, which shows that there is a close relationship between health food and nutrition science. What is the relationship between nutritional scientific research and the development of health food industry? What ideas can nutrition science provide for health food research? At the 2017 First Health Food Conference, Yang Yuxin, President of the Chinese Nutrition Society, and Ding Gangqiang, Director of the Nutrition and Health Institute of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, answered these questions.The president of the Chinese Nutrition Society, Yang Monthshin, director of the Nutrition and Health Research Institute of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Ding Gangqiang
mutual promotion and common development
throughout the 20 years of development of health food, although the road is bumpy, but outstanding achievements. In the 20 years of China's ascendas, China's health food industry has also been fully developed. At present, the health food industry has developed into more than 3000 production enterprises, more than 6 million employees, output value of more than 300 billion important industries, for the country's economic construction and the healthy development of the nation has made an important contribution.
health food can have such a development, mainly depends on its "mother science" - nutrition science development and progress. Regarding the relationship between nutrition science and health food, Yang Yuxin, president of the Chinese Nutrition Society, said, "Nutrition science is the driving force and source of health food development and scientific and technological innovation, and nutritional health food is an important industrial manifestation of nutrition science." Nutrition science provides a scientific basis for the research and development of health food, and the development of health food industry also promotes the industrialization of nutrition science achievements, making health food industry become the pillar industry of national nutrition and health. Over the past 20 years, nutritional health food has always been at the forefront of service and innovation, and many successful entrepreneurs have been trained to promote the transformation and industrialization of nutrition science, and the health food industry has developed into a new strategic industry, which has made the culture of nutrition and health care deeply rooted in people's hearts. As the core carrier of nutrition science and technology theory, health food provides the original impetus for the construction of "healthy China" and also provides an important guarantee for national health.
actively explore, remarkable achievements
in the past 20 years of development, enterprises and researchers actively explore, so that the health food industry has made significant progress in science and technology. Yang Yuxin pointed out that the progress of health food in science and technology is mainly reflected in the following five aspects:
first, raw materials from the use of essential nutrients to the use of a variety of biologically active substances. Raw materials are the basis and source of product development, from the beginning of nutrient supplements to later probiotics, DHA, EPA, and even fatty acids, plant sterols, soy isoflavones and other plant compounds; And these product labels make the masses familiar, this is not only the success of the product, but also a concept of success and cultural in-depth.
, the function of health food from providing only basic nutrition to preventing the occurrence of chronic diseases. Because the improvement of the formula has the effect of improving, and the core basis of the formula is nutrition science. With the increasing research on nutrient demand and the supply and marketing of plant compounds in the field of nutrition, its function has been gradually discovered. The function of health food is therefore more perfect, which is also a complete embodiment of health food as a carrier of nutrition science.
, the scientific and technological evaluation of health food has changed from a single index to a comprehensive evaluation. Scientific and technological evaluation is the quality assurance of nutritional health food, always grasp the pulse of scientific development, constantly revise the evaluation methods of the three core science and technology of nutrition function, constantly improve the regulations and standards system, promote the development and construction of health food, and create a policy standard evaluation system with Chinese characteristics, supporting the development of the industry.
fourth, the transformation of products from imitation to innovation. Originality is the source of industrial innovation and inebrainable power, health care products enterprises around the global industrial value chain and high-end links, and constantly accumulate talent and new technologies, and as a support for enterprises, deepen the combination and transformation of production, learning, research, to create a variety of new products.
fifth, the scientific and technological team continues to expand. In previous studies in the field of nutrition science and technology, most studies have focused on basic human nutrition. But at present, more than 50% of the papers and works published in the nutrition science and technology community revolve around the formulation of nutrients, the discovery of new functions and industrial research and development. Globally, China's research on plant compounds is second only to that of the United States. The development of science and technology provides a guarantee for the development of health food.
Nutritional Science Guide Product Research and Development
By the end of 2016, China has approved 16,000 kinds of health food products, a wide variety of product forms. But with the improvement of people's living standards, the demands of consumers also increase. At present, the function of health food can not meet people's needs. In addition, the concept of "Healthy China" and the implementation of the National Nutrition Plan (2017-2030) have put forward higher requirements for the "big health industry", enterprises need to improve a number of health supplies, nutrition food and other services and production closely related to human health, so health care enterprises still have a lot of work to do.
, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council recently issued the "Healthy China 2030" Program Outline, proposing that by 2030, China's main health indicators to enter the ranks of high-income countries. The first of these indicators is to achieve the goal of reaching the average age of 79 years for our residents. Although only three years of growth is needed, much effort is needed in the health care industry. Ding pointed out that the characteristics of the National Nutrition Plan (2017-2030) include five aspects, three of which are related to health food. First, adhere to the concept of innovation and great health, second, highlight the role of health food in promoting economic growth, and third, consider the organic combination of
sophotological food safety
and nutrition improvement, which reflects the importance of health food for "healthy China".
How to make good use of the "Healthy China 2030" Program Outline and the National Nutrition Plan (2017-2030) to create a new situation of national nutrition and health work of great nutrition, great health, great integration and great development, Ding Gangqiang proposed that "four adheres" should be achieved: First, adhere to the problem-oriented, comprehensive consideration of undernutrition and excess two aspects, take effective measures and means to improve
food safety
and nutritional quality , the implementation of safety, nutrition, enjoyment, health, science and nutrition, the second is to adhere to the goal-oriented, forward-looking high grasp of the development trend of nutrition science and technology health, understand the impact of national nutrition on people's lives and people's physical, psychological and social associations; Sellers can recommend health foods based on consumer health. Through the introduction of targeted, fixed-point, targeted sales methods, to promote the formation of the "nutritional health and Internet" model, to achieve science and technology-led precision intelligent nutrition action.
in addition to the above policy guidance, Ding Gangqiang also through the analysis of The health status survey data of Chinese residents to arrive at a reasonable diet methods, he pointed out the health food development of new ideas and the direction of enterprise efforts. In China, where dietary nutrition is changing, the problem of food and clothing has been gradually solved, energy, protein, malnutrition rates have decreased, anaemia and other malnutrition rates have also improved, and mortality rates have declined. However, with the change of work and leisure mode, fat, sugar, processed food increased, resulting in an increase in obesity rate. Life expectancy has increased, but inability to adjust life has also increased, and the disease spectrum has shifted from the original infectious disease to chronic noncommunicable diseases. From a diet point of view, in the past 30 years, people's protein intake as a proportion of total energy intake has remained basically unchanged, but the proportion of fat from the original 24% to 32.5%, resulting in high blood lipids, hypertension, high blood sugar and other chronic diseases, the prevalence of increased, although more hospitals, but still overcrowded. Health food companies can improve the health of consumers by improving their diet and providing them with quality food.
Ding Gangqiang said that people are born healthy individuals, from health to unhealthy, sub-health belongs to one of the stages, if at this stage to intervene and prevent, will not develop into disease. As the medical profession said, "only cure, more and more busy", in the sub-health stage of health food can play its positive role in improving people's diet, provide health food with specific effects, guide reasonable diet, prevent the occurrence of chronic diseases, for hospitals to share the pressure, disease prevention before they occur.
