On-Site Launch Ceremony of the Public Education Program on Comprehensive Nutrition and Balanced Diet

In recent years, with changes in lifestyle, the issue of unbalanced diets among Chinese residents has become increasingly prominent, characterized by insufficient whole grain intake. According to the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2016), general adults should consume 50–150 grams of whole grains per day. However, authoritative surveys from the Status of Coarse Grain and Cereal Intake Among Chinese Adult Residents indicate that over 80% of Chinese adult residents have inadequate whole grain consumption.

In light of this situation, Meinian Onehealth is leveraging its nationwide network of health examination centers and plans to collaborate with the China Health Promotion Foundation toIn December, health education implementation activities were carried out at Meinian Healthcare branches in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou, and Fuzhou.Quaker whole-grain breakfast products and the promotional brochure “Joint Tips on Whole-Grain Nutrition and Balanced Diet” were distributed free of charge to individuals undergoing health check-ups, inviting them to personally experience whole-grain breakfasts and learn about related healthy dietary practices.

The Chinese people, long renowned for their emphasis on balance and dietary therapy in health preservation, are now facing the challenge of unbalanced diets amid modern lifestyles. In recent years, grain consumption among residents in China has been declining year by year, while the intake of animal-source foods and oils has been increasing annually, leading to excessive calorie intake;Excessive refining of cereals leads to the loss of B vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, resulting in inadequate intake; these factors may all increase the risk of chronic non-communicable diseases.Therefore, improving residents' dietary patterns is an indispensable step in the current prevention and control of chronic diseases; the earlier it is initiated and the longer it is sustained, the greater the health benefits.
