"The feeling of rich and delicate food can never be used up for a lifetime. There is no fixed way to eat. It is a knowledge full of human fireworks, and it is also an improvisational art that is integrated with life. " -Cui Daiyuan's "Beijing Taste"

Auria lived in Canada with her parents since childhood and studied and worked in Canada all the way. As a senior "foodie", Oria found her ideal career and grew into an excellent registered dietitian. Now, while continuing to study and work in Canada, she is conducting grounded gas nutrition research on domestic social media, hoping to return to China in the future and make contributions to the health of the people in China.

The following contents are conducted by Oriya himself orally.

Canada is a country of immigrants. I am lucky to have been exposed to the charm of different cultures since I was a child.

For example, in junior high school, students bring meals, and I will observe their eating habits. There are Indians, Africans and Europeans in the school, and everyone has different eating habits. I think it's interesting just to look at the different foods in their lunch boxes!

In addition, volunteering in the community also allows me to meet people from different countries, whose behaviors, habits and lifestyles are different. I am very interested in this cultural difference and have been trying to explore the differences and commonalities from different cultures.

China's food culture is profound, but we can learn from the essence of many foreign food cultures. There are differences in food culture caused by different food cognition at home and abroad, which is what I want to share with domestic foodies and one of the reasons why I started to share it on the official WeChat account.

For example, my recent article is about "quinoa".

The benefits of quinoa have been introduced by many domestic media. This is really a great food. I hope it can be integrated into the daily diet of China people and add some different colors to our food culture in China.

In order to know more about the story of "quinoa", I stayed in South America for about two and a half months, lived with the locals and learned about the local quinoa food culture. Then I will combine the eating habits of China people and put forward some suggestions to improve the diet according to the eating habits of China people.

Drink more warm water.

It's not China's patent!

Diet and nutrition are not only what you eat every day, but also a part of your life. I spend about three months exploring the world every year.

During my travel, I will not only look for and contact with food types I have never seen before, but also observe the presentation of the same food in different civilizations.

For example, rice and jiaozi are the two most common foods in China, but in fact, rice is eaten in different ways around the world; Jiaozi is not unique to China. Both Europe and Italy have their own jiaozi. Although different cooking methods are used, China people can definitely see the feeling of deja vu.

There are also different dietary concepts, which are also very interesting. I thought that "drinking more hot water" was the patent of China people, but during my life in Bolivia, I found that South America was the same.

When I was sick, the locals told me not to drink cold water. Drinking hot water is good for your stomach and throat. China is in Asia and Bolivia is in South America, which are far apart, but there are so many things in common, which is a very wonderful feeling.

In addition, travel can also trace the auspicious feathers of history. For example, I have been to Turkey, the terminal of the Silk Road, and I can feel how the whole spice market moved from Asia to Europe from the local food culture.

Although the past history has disappeared, many "relics" are solidified in culture, waiting for us to explore, and food culture is one of them.

In order to be an authentic "foodie"

I studied nutrition.

I worked part-time as a nutritionist during my graduate school. At that time, I did one-on-one nutrition consultation and went to the community to teach children some simple nutrition knowledge. I have also been to South America as an international volunteer, teaching local women how to eat healthier in communities in South America.

In terms of nutrition, we mainly have three areas: clinical nutrition, community nutrition and food nutrition. Personally, I prefer community nutrition. That is, now I am doing my best to promote and popularize science. My current research project also hopes to build an online education platform to help diabetics better change their eating habits.

In fact, my becoming a nutritionist is also related to the type 2 diabetes when my father 18 years old. Growing up, my father made me all kinds of delicious food and took beautiful photos, which also inspired me a lot. On the one hand, I hope to help my father better adjust his body and choose nutrition. On the other hand, I also want to carry forward this "spirit of eating goods".

But if you don't know what you are eating, you can't make a 100% food, and you may even threaten your health. In order to meet my goal of eating food, I chose to be a nutritionist, and later I accidentally read a doctorate in nutrition.

I want to make a simpler, more interactive and more personalized online platform to integrate nutrition knowledge, life knowledge and medication knowledge into the daily life of diabetic patients.

But for science itself, popular science, most people stay at a superficial level. For example, friends around you will simply tell you that eating fat is not good for your health. But is fat an absolute hazard? What are the consequences of not eating fat at all? How much should I eat and how to eat reasonably?

Actually, they just don't know how to use it My purpose, including my research direction, is to promote health. I want to integrate real science into my life, instead of putting out all kinds of daunting scientific terms. This is why the name of my official WeChat account is nutritionist, and I want to make "science" a tool that you can pick up at any time.

My secret book of starting a business from the media

I sum up the secret of starting a business from the media into three major points: teamwork, fan interaction and continuous charging.

At first, it was just a Weibo, and it was updated intermittently for about a year and a half. Later, I felt that this was not a long-term solution and wanted to devote myself to this matter more seriously. But I don't know a lot about operation, such as operation mode, marketing, fan interaction and so on. I don't understand at all. Later, I asked two powerful friends for help.

Now we have become a four-person group. Everyone is in charge of different fields, and everyone has his own job. With the help and encouragement of the team, everyone supports each other and brainstorms, and our popular science becomes more efficient and interesting.

In addition, I have met many netizens from all directions since the media in recent years, and many of them have gradually become good friends in reality.

I think the most interesting thing about being self-media is that you can see and know people of different ages and backgrounds, and you can also learn a lot from them. In our fan community, everyone talks about life and diet every day, which is actually a kind of learning. Many good ideas were contributed to me by my fans, and I am very grateful to them.

In addition, we are doing popular science, and we are doing "knowledge output" most of the time. This requires us to continue to "input knowledge". When the group is asked a question that I don't know how to answer, I take it as a motivation to charge.

Although starting a business from the media is also a business, it is not just as simple as making money. Try to improve yourself and then share your achievements with you better. I think this is the greatest significance of being a media.

The first person to eat crab

China consumers' pursuit of healthy life is constantly strengthening, and their life concept and health management behavior are undergoing significant changes. The status quo is that nutritional needs are everywhere. The National Nutrition Plan (20 17-2030) was also put forward at this time point, which established a long-term strategy to focus on developing nutrition and health industries.

In fact, from 20 17, China Nutrition Association began to establish the qualification certification of registered dietitians in China, and the whole industry is slowly developing in a good direction. Many good dietitians in China and registered dietitians overseas are slowly returning to China. But no matter in which country, there will be some misunderstandings about nutrition knowledge, but the degree is different.

I am afraid that the situation faced by domestic nutritionists is similar to that of traditional Chinese medicine, full of misunderstandings and prejudices.

For example, when a stranger introduces himself as a nutritionist, the other person's first reaction is: Are you a nutritionist? Make me a recipe quickly and tell me how to lose weight.

Of course, our work is not just as simple as losing weight, and there is a big misunderstanding in simply losing weight. Many young women lose weight just because they don't eat, which is not only harmful to health, but the more terrible truth is that the meat that can't be reduced can't be reduced no matter how hungry.

Once I answered some nutrition-related questions on the Zhihu, and many people came up to question: Isn't a nutritionist the kind of person who can get it by reading books and taking exams? Can't anyone be a teacher and only cook for others or something?

At that time, I found that people not only misunderstood the scientific theory of nutrition, but also misunderstood the profession of our registered dietitian. Therefore, even my own career should be put into the category of popular science, which sounds a bit ridiculous, but as the first batch of people who eat crabs, these are all things I must face and overcome.

In addition, there are so many different cuisines in China's diet, so food is really what China people carve in their bones. It is too difficult for us not to eat, but through my efforts, it is possible to combine nutrition with food and make everyone eat healthier and happier. My platform has also been sharing more cooking methods of nutritious food with you.

In the future, food evaluation, online classroom, one-on-one nutrition consultation and so on may be expanded. For me, doing self-media is the output of knowledge, and doing scientific research is part of my knowledge input. I got nutrition knowledge from scientific research, and then applied it to everyone's life, forming a virtuous circle.

For me, the relationship between doing scientific research and doing network science popularization is to take it from life and apply it to life. Eat well, be kind to yourself and know how to live. This is the king.
