Three Major Dietary Problems Facing Chinese People

Incomplete diet: According to surveys, less than 30% of people consume enough of the five major food groups daily; vegetable intake is just over half, and fruit consumption is only one-fifth; 30% of people drink less than 1200 milliliters of water per day.

Overeating: China's pork consumption accounts for half of the global total; people eat more and move less, with the number of overweight and obese individuals increasing by 100 million over a decade; while international recommendations for salt intake have been lowered, the "excessive salt" problem among Chinese residents has not decreased in ten years.

Unhealthy eating: In China's meat consumption structure, pork has accounted for about 65% in recent years, while fish and seafood, which are beneficial to the cardiovascular system, are less than one liang (about 50 grams) per day; many people have a beggar's breakfast and an emperor's dinner; food that is overly processed and refined is not conducive to the prevention and control of chronic diseases.
