People care a lot about food and their health. What hot words about food and health caught Chinese people's eyes in 2023? Let's see some hot words from the first National Nutrition Literacy Conference (全国营养科普大会) held on Dec 9, 2023.
☆ Pre-made dishes (预制菜)
Pre-made dishes are half-finished or finished dishes. They are already cooked or prepared. However, they may cause health problems. For example, some have too many additives (添加剂). So doctors advise people not to eat too many pre-made dishes.
☆ Nutritional literacy (营养素养)
It shows how well a person can learn and understand nutrition information and skills which are important for making good nutrition decisions.
☆ Dietary regimen (食养)
A plan or set of rules that show what and how much a person should eat to keep in good health.
☆ Aspartame (阿巴斯甜)
It's a sweetener widely used in food to take the place of sugar because it is low in calories (卡路里) and much cheaper than sugar.
And the last one is called an all-encompassing approach to food (大食物观). It means people need to have all kinds of food.
Health comes first. Do you live a healthy life?
