摘要
A high quality diet is believed to play a functional role in promoting the healthy growth of mankind and preventing many kinds of chronic degenerative diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. Adherence to a high quality diet has been strongly associated with a lower risk of mortality. To help promote healthy lifestyles and physical strength, the Chinese government has produced a new revised version of the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents （2016） and the Chinese Food Pagoda, as guidance for dietary intake among its population. Similarly, the Japanese government has produced the Japanese Food Guide Spinning Top Model, and the US government has recently published revised dietary recommendations in its 2015-2020 eighth edition of Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The evidence from all respective cohort studies involved in producing these guidelines shows a reduced risk of many chronic diseases and mortality if the guidelines are followed. All scientific findings support encouraging the general population to consume a broad variety of food on the basis of nutrient and food intakes in order to prevent deficiency diseases and a surplus of energy and nutrients, and recommend daily physical activity for health promotion.
高质量的膳食在促进人类健康成长和防治包括癌症、心血管疾病、糖尿病和肥胖在内的多种慢性疾病中起着重要的作用。坚持高质量的膳食能有效地降低死亡率。为了帮助形成健康的生活方式,增强体质,中国政府发布了新的中国居民膳食指南(2016)和膳食宝塔,用来指导居民膳食的摄入。同样,日本政府早期发布了日本膳食指南陀螺模型,美国政府最近也出版了修订后的第八版美国居民膳食指南(2015–2020)。与指南相关的同期证据表明,遵循指南进行膳食指导,许多慢性疾病的发病率和死亡率都会降低。所有的科学发现支持鼓励居民在保证营养和食物摄入的基础上消耗各种各样的食物以防止营养缺乏疾病以及能量和营养过剩,并且建议进行日常活动来保持身体健康。
