The word "food education" was first put forward by a famous Japanese health scientist, Zuoxuan Ishizuka 1896 in his book "Food Hygiene Law". Zuo Xuan of Ishizuka said: "Physical education is just diet education".

Edit this paragraph, Japan sets standards.

In 2005, Japan promulgated the Basic Law of Diet Education, which is a national movement, and it is popularized in all parts of Japan in units of families, schools, nurseries and regions. Through the understanding of food nutrition and food safety, as well as the inheritance of food culture, harmony with the environment and gratitude for food, the goal of "cultivating people's lifelong healthy body and mind and rich humanity through food education" can be achieved. Among the "target values" set by the Japanese government for the food education movement every year, the first one is to raise the national attention to "food education"; The second item emphasizes "breakfast". According to the survey data released by the Cabinet Office of Japan, 70% of Japanese people are concerned about "food education" at present, and 90% will be required in 20 10; Children who don't eat breakfast are now 4%, and will drop to "0" by 20 10; At present, 30% and 23% of 20-year-old and 30-year-old adult men do not eat breakfast, and this requirement will drop to 65,438+05% in 2065,438+00. Work "brainpower" depends on breakfast, and skipping breakfast is tantamount to giving up work-Japanese nutritionists have warned Japanese nationals.

Cultivate healthy eating habits. This is a basic point. Some experts believe that since children can simply talk and communicate, they should consciously fill in all the knowledge about the source, preparation, nutritional value, how to eat and how much to eat. In the continuous intensive education, they are subtly made to realize the harm of partial eclipse and consciously achieve a balanced diet. After children receive "diet education", they can continue healthy eating habits for life. Cultivate artistic imagination in diet. When children eat, they often only want delicious food, not as delicious as other parents and kindergarten teachers. In the process of "diet education", they should introduce the food on the table artistically. For example, kelp with five coriander strings is like a black ribbon tied to a girl's head. After children are interested in this, they will make extremely rich artistic associations for each diet. Cultivate their outlook on life in diet. When introducing children to the sources and production of various foods, you can introduce the labor required to produce these things. Of course, letting them participate in grain production will deepen their understanding that only labor can produce. Moreover, some children are afraid of being stabbed in the throat when eating fish, or are afraid of a certain color and shape of food. Parents can "face the reality bravely" and encourage them. However, let them know that they should concentrate, chew slowly and exercise more. In the process of diet, it is also an important content of "food education" to cultivate and stimulate children's correct outlook on life based on a variety of foods.

As far as daily diet is concerned, it has become a common phenomenon that children don't like to eat vegetables and fruits. It is well known that vegetables are rich in vitamins, but how to distinguish the types of vitamins and how to keep them during cooking? Take vitamin c as an example. Not all vegetables contain vitamins. Red, green and purple vegetables, such as peppers, tomatoes and bitter gourd, are rich in vitamin C, but vitamin C is soluble in water and difficult to preserve. Parents can pay attention to washing before cutting when cooking, and cook better, such as emergency cooking and quick frying. Urgent fire means high temperature and short time, which can prevent the loss of vitamins. In addition, the survey found that children don't know much about which foods contain carotene. Carotene is very important to children. It can prevent myopia and vitamin A deficiency. In fact, yellow and red carrots and sweet potatoes, deep-leaf vegetables and melons, such as papaya and pumpkin, are all high in carotene and should be eaten more.

Re-understanding of bean products

Children's understanding of beans is obviously insufficient, and the intake of bean products is not high. In fact, beans are rich in protein, essential fatty acids, phospholipids, carotene, vitamins, amino acids and minerals, which can effectively increase the intake of calcium. Regular consumption is beneficial to health, can balance the nutritional structure in the body, reduce or avoid the occurrence of common diseases of modern children such as obesity and malnutrition, and can regulate blood lipid, protect the liver, prevent arteriosclerosis and promote thinking ability. Isoflavone, a trace component contained in soybean, also has health care functions such as cancer prevention and osteoporosis prevention.

Dietary education interests children.

To the surprise of experts, children like eating fish very much. Fish is rich in protein and unsaturated fatty acids, most of which can be absorbed by human body. Dha and epa in marine fish are very important for children's brain development. Eating more fish can prevent coronary heart disease, lower cholesterol and benefit the development of nervous system. According to these findings, the nutritionist fed the child for 10 weeks and found that the child's understanding and attitude towards nutrition had the attitude he wanted to understand and change. The correct answer rate to the questions "Which foods can prevent iron deficiency anemia" and "Which foods have high carotene content" has increased from 66.7% to 96.7%, and the children's wishes for "whether they are interested in food nutrition knowledge", "willing to change bad eating habits" and "want to make their diet more in line with nutritional requirements" have reached 65,438+. Through the comparison between the two groups, it can be seen that children who have received nutrition knowledge education have significantly higher nutritional behavior and knowledge level than children who have not received such education, and their understanding of nutrition is more comprehensive. Although the eating habits have only changed slightly, it is known from the survey that children's enthusiasm for nutrition has improved, and they are eager to know the nutritional components and benefits of the food they contact every day.

Adult chronic diseases are related to children's diet.

In recent years, it has been found that some chronic diseases of adults are often related to the bad eating behavior of children and adolescents. There are many diseases caused by diet, such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, arteriosclerosis and gout. Not only that, several cancers are also related to diet.

Parents' behavior affects their children.

Diet has different meanings for adults and children. Therefore, in dealing with children's diet, schools and parents should not take their own standards as the criterion, but should consider nutrition collocation from many aspects. In order for children to acquire correct nutrition knowledge and develop good eating habits, parents and schools should cooperate with each other to achieve "grasping with both hands". Some parents spoil their children too much and give them whatever they like. Looking at their increasingly obese bodies, they think that they have given their children enough nutrition, but they don't know that such parenting methods often lead to "strong and sick". Therefore, parents should correct the wrong eating habits in time, read more books on nutrition, and fundamentally get out of the eating misunderstanding.

Edit this paragraph about China.

At present, food education courses have been carried out as pilot courses in some primary and secondary schools in Shanghai, and food safety education, nutrition and health education have been carried out. According to the age and characteristics of students, the teaching plan is tailored to their age groups, trying to make children "learn" through "playing" and strengthen their acceptance and understanding of nutrition knowledge through vivid and easy-to-understand forms. This is far from enough. If we only strengthen the education of children, it is not enough to completely and fundamentally change the eating habits. The society should also provide more help for the development of diet education.
