Hangzhou publishes nutritional status of elementary and middle school students

May 15-21 this year is China's second "National Nutrition Week," and today (May 20th) is China's 27th "Chinese Student Nutrition Day." The theme of this year’s publicity is “Balanced diet and concern for health”. Yesterday, the CDC of the Hangzhou Municipality announced that because of an eclipse picky eater, a snack-lover, and a lack of exercise, an average of 10 primary school students have a chubby pier. Yesterday, the CDC of Hangzhou Municipality and the CDC of Xiacheng City jointly held a publicity event at Hangzhou Qinglan Qinghua Experimental Primary School. At the event, the Hangzhou Municipal Health and Family Planning Commission and the Hangzhou Municipal Bureau of Education jointly issued the results of the comprehensive monitoring of the health status of students conducted by the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention in the previous school year. Through the monitoring of 40,000 or so students in 39 schools, the prevalence of malnutrition among primary and secondary school students in Hangzhou is 8.29%, which is higher than the average level of 7.2% in the province; the obesity rate is 7.2%, which is close to the average level of 7.3% in the province, but the primary school students The obesity rate is high, reaching 10.6%. The experts from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of the Hangzhou Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention analyzed the causes of the above-mentioned nutritional problems among primary school students. The main points were: One is wrong eating habits. If the three meals a day diet is not normal, there is a partial eclipse, picky eating habits; The second is an unreasonable diet. Like to eat snacks, do not like to eat staple food. Excessive intake of high-energy foods (such as fried foods, sugary drinks); The third is less exercise. Less exercise, more static time. Zhu Bing, director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention at the Hangzhou CDC, told reporters that the so-called malnutrition does not mean that the current child does not eat enough, but mainly refers to eating unreasonably. For example, some children in the monitoring period are still in a period of puberty. They have a lot of food, but they are very skinny. After a detailed understanding of their dietary structure, they discovered that the children rarely eat eggs, drink milk, and take in nutrients such as protein and calcium. A serious shortage will naturally affect growth. For another example, the current student academic pressure is relatively heavy, and energy and nutrient consumption will also increase. If parents do not pay attention to the supplement of reasonable nutrition at this time, it may lead to children's malnutrition. Specifically how to eat, only have nutrition and not fat, experts ask everyone to remember "52110". "5": 5 fist-sized vegetables and fruits should be eaten every day; "2": The time for using computers, watching TV, and playing video games does not exceed 2 hours per day; "1": More than 1 hour of moderate or high intensity exercise should be performed every day; "1": Eat no more than 1 palm of your hand every day; "0": Do not drink sugary drinks. In addition, we focus on the supplementation of micronutrients, such as minerals and vitamins, and try to supplement them with food. Common foods rich in various micronutrients: Foods rich in vitamin A: animal liver, carrots; Foods rich in vitamin B1: unprocessed cereals, lean meat, animal organs, grains, beans; Foods rich in vitamin B2: milk, eggs, grains, vegetables, fruits; Vitamin D-rich food: animal internal organs, red meat, and much more sun; Calcium-rich foods: dairy products, shrimp; Iron-rich foods: animal blood, liver, soybeans, black fungus, egg yolk, dried fruit, lean meat.
