Dietary guidelines for countries are not just about eating

United States: To reduce "screen time"

The United States is the country that formulated dietary guidelines earlier in the world and is revised every five years. In the latest edition of the American Dietary Guidelines 2010, besides giving the latest dietary advice, there is one thing that's particularly noticeable because it's completely unrelated to what to eatâ€”to reduce the â€œscreen timeâ€ (watching TV, computers, and electronics) The time of the game). Because it is directly related to various screens, long-term sit-in, overweight, and obesity, it is recommended that children and teenagers watch TV, play computer games, and play video games for no more than 1 to 2 hours a day.

Expert Comments: Watching TV and watching computers These static activities are the environmental factors that cause overweight and obesity, and they are very harmful to health. On the one hand, our physical activity is reduced and our energy consumption is reduced. On the other hand, when our attention is shifted to various screens, we will inadvertently consume too much food and induce obesity. The control of watching television time into the dietary guide shows that on the one hand, the phenomenon of "couch potato" has brought serious harm to American society, and on the other hand, it also expressed their determination to "lose weight."

Japan: Life Gyro Sports

The Japanese dietary guide is a "gyro", which means "balanced nutrition can keep the gyro stable." The biggest special thing about gyros is that there is a person at the top who is running. This content, which is also not related to what you eat, illustrates the simple truth that running is the driving force behind the spiral. Only constant movement can promote the continuous rotation of the life gyroscope.

Chinaâ€™s latest edition of the â€œChinese Dietary Guidelines for Residentsâ€ (2007 edition) also included the movement and proposed to walk 6000 steps per day. If physical conditions permit, it is best to perform moderate-intensity exercise for 30 minutes.

Expert Comments: Physical activity can maintain energy balance and is important for preventing obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Many countries have written "movement" into the "eating" guideline. It can be seen that tube shut-in and leg-opening are indispensable parts. Climb a few stairs every day and walk for 10 minutes. It will be healthier if you add up. With more activity and exercise, health can lastingly benefit.

Norway: It's important to eat happily

The dietary guidelines of some countries in Europe and Asia have suggested that happiness and happiness should be enjoyed from the diet. The Norwegian Dietary Guide proposes "food + happiness = health", a balanced diet and a pleasant mood to create a healthy body and mind. Britain emphasizes "enjoying food" and tasting the pleasant sensation of food. Japan proposes that all diet-related activities be full of joy, such as enjoying dinner and enjoying dinner and communicating with family members. South Korea also proposed that it is better to enjoy healthy home-style meals with family members.

Expert Comments: When eating in a pleasant environment, it helps to increase appetite and promote the function of the digestive system. In addition, the happy meal of the family can make children more willing to accept food, avoid anorexia, and ensure adequate nutrition. Japan's "Food and Breeding Act" stipulates that children should be taught to cook, grow vegetables, and let them understand and enjoy the joy of eating.
