"Breakfast: Not eaten; Lunch: rice or corn paste, salted soya bean; dinner: rice or corn paste, salted soya bean."

This is not a weight loss diet, but the daily diet of children in a poor area in the west.

The long-term no-meat, egg-free, and vegetable-free diet may cause malnutrition. This will have the following consequences: the average height per person will be reduced by 3 to 4 centimeters, the IQ will be reduced by 10 to 15 points, and the final labor loss will be 2% to 9%.

Ma Guansheng, a researcher at the Institute for Nutrition and Food Safety at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, told the China Economic Weekly: “At present, there are 290 million children aged 0 to 14 in China and 15 million children in poverty. Children in impoverished areas have a slow growth rate and are in line with WHO standards. Compared to: low body weight rate of 12% to 36%, growth retardation rate is 6 times that of urban children, vitamin A deficiency rate is 4 times that of urban children.”

On September 15th, the “Poverty Alleviation and Month Donation Campaign for Children with Poverty-stricken Areas” sponsored by the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation started. Providing a monthly donation of 100 yuan will enable children in impoverished areas to receive an egg and a bag of milk each day. Meal.

China lost 1.6 trillion yuan due to malnutrition in 2010

Chen Xiwen, deputy head of the Central Rural Work Leading Group and director of the office, said at the kick-off ceremony for donations for poverty alleviation that poverty has become a major issue that has plagued China's development. In 2010, the per capita net income of farmers in our country reached 5,919 yuan, and the disposable income of urban residents was 19,109 yuan. The ratio between the two is 1:3.228. How to narrow the gap between urban and rural areas and eliminate poverty has become the focus of social concern. “Children are the future of the country. Poor rural children are the future of the country.” Chen Xiwen said.

At the press conference, the reporter learned that “the nutritional status of children in our country is far below the world standard.” The “National Nutrition Report on Nutrition and Health for School-age Children in Youth” edited by the Center for Nutrition and Food Safety at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention showed that due to malnutrition The economic losses have come to 4% of gross domestic product (GDP).

Ma Guansheng told the China Economic Weekly that "under malnutrition, we estimate the loss caused by productivity in terms of growth retardation, iodine deficiency and anaemia. The anaemia is divided into two aspects: anaemia in children and anemia in adults. American scholars according to our country in 2001 Based on the salary level, iodine deficiency rate, anemia rate, growth retardation rate, labor capacity lost due to illness, and working years, the productivity software loss due to malnutrition in 2001 was calculated using PROFILES. ."

“The loss of productivity in the four parts was respectively 16.6 billion for growth retardation, 19.8 billion for iodine deficiency, 65.38 million for adult anaemia, and 259.9 billion for children anemic, totaling 362.1 billion yuan in four items.” Ma Guansheng said, “In 2001, China’s GDP was 0.9038 trillion yuan. According to calculations, the loss has reached 4.01% of the GDP. This calculation method is an internationally accepted calculation method, so it is not necessary to calculate it once a year."

In 2010, China’s GDP was 401.202 billion yuan. As such, the economic loss caused by malnutrition was 1.6088 trillion yuan.

Invest in child nutrition

Non-profit organizations have been doing their own efforts to improve nutrition in poor areas. The "Monthly Monthly Donation, Daily Food Plus" campaign is a charity activity launched by the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation through continuous fixed monthly donations to supplement daily meals for children in poor areas.

According to Liu Wenkui, Deputy Secretary-General of the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation, Liu Wenkui said that in order to address the nutritional deficiencies of impoverished children, children in impoverished areas are provided with a box of student milk, and one or one egg is used as a snack between classes to help children improve nutrition. Intake. “This project is based on the principle of full school coverage, and the implementation time of the project is one year. In addition to the national holidays and winter and summer vacations, the school provides nutritious meals to students every day during classes (Monday to Friday). The days are averages, and the actual number of days served is determined by the actual class time of each assisted school."

“The child nutrition subsidy is a measure to prevent intergenerational transmission of poverty and fundamentally eradicate poverty.” Ma Guansheng said, “According to the 3 yuan per person per day subsidy, 200 school days in a year, 600 yuan per year, 9 years of compulsory education. A total of 5,400 yuan will be needed, so that the children can be expected to increase their income by 10% in adulthood and increase their income by at least 1,000 yuan each year.Then considering the increase in GDP, the reduction in poverty relief funds, and the reduction in future medical expenses, This benefit is even more impressive. This will also be the most valuable investment in human capital. Investment in child nutrition is investment in the future."

Regarding how to choose a canteen school, Liu Wenkui stated that the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation will conduct screening through project sites and conduct screenings at various levels. “The local education bureau will select and provide the list of beneficiary schools, basic information, pictures, etc. according to the project school funding criteria. The Foundation will review the relevant information and conduct site visits to determine the list of final aided schools."

Proportional Extract

Plant extract is a product formed from plants as raw materials, through physical and chemical extraction and separation process according to the needs of the use of the final product extracted, to obtain and concentrate one or more active components in plants in a directional way, without changing the structure of the active components.

Proportional extract is the extract, liquid extract or powder made by the extraction and concentration of raw materials such as plants and animals. The number of raw materials before extraction and the mathematical ratio of the product after extraction and concentration generally do not have very clear composition and content.

1. According to the content of active ingredients, it can be divided into three types: effective monomer extract, standard extract and ratio extract;

2. Divided into glycosides, acids, polyphenols, polysaccharides, terpenoids, flavonoids, alkaloids, etc.
