There is a nutritionist for every 4 people
Germans are paying more and more attention to health. In German supermarkets, there is usually a row of shelves dedicated to selling books, of which 3% magazines are about diet and weight loss. Most articles in magazines are written by nutritionists, who repeatedly teach you the nutritional collocation of food and how to lose weight while eating. All foods and nutraceuticals in Germany explain the nutritional components in food in great detail. For example, how much heat, protein, minerals, etc. Dietitians have therefore become one of the five most popular occupations in Germany. At present, there are more than 2, professional nutritionists in Germany, with an average of one nutritionist for every 4 people. Although the income of German nutritionists is less than that of doctors, it is also considerable, with a monthly salary of about 4,-8, euros.
It can be said that Germans have developed the habit of consulting nutritionists at any time. German nutritionists are located in various fields. Food companies, schools, nursing homes, restaurants, health care institutions, large enterprises, supermarkets, etc., are all equipped with nutritionists. These institutions will provide different kinds and quantities of meals according to different personnel. Germans can also go to clinics or health clubs and other institutions to consult dieticians for a single time, charging about 5 euros each time.
Dietitians have a high starting point
According to the German Federal Nutrition Association, at present, German dietitians are divided into three levels: assistant registered dietitians, registered dietitians and senior registered dietitians. It is not easy to obtain qualifications, and generally requires a master's degree or above in related majors. It is very common to set up nutrition and food science in German universities, including nutrition science and sports nutrition science. To become a nutritionist, you must complete basic nutrition, food microbiology, clinical nutrition, food processing and other courses. After obtaining a degree, you must first practice in a hospital or related field for at least two years before you are eligible to participate in the training of registered dietitians. From completing the course to finally passing the exam, there are usually only about 2% people.
The role of nutritionists in German hospitals is also very important. Three meals a day must be decided by a special dietitian. Nutritionists also participate in patient consultation. They will calculate the patient's dietary requirements, and then match meals according to the patient's appetite, eating habits, weight and so on. Not long ago, a nutritionist named Linda took out an illustrated "nutrition recipe" to explain it. On the first day, you can only drink nutritious soup, and the next day after surgery, you can't eat meat ... As for what soup to drink and what to eat, you can also choose from a variety of recipes. The recipe also details the nutritional ingredients, preparation methods, selection of ingredients and cooking methods.
Later, I learned that each ward in a German hospital has its own pantry, and the nutrition nurse sends each meal. The daily dinner is scheduled by the nutritionist according to the illness, which is usually divided into therapeutic diet, special diet and general diet. When she was discharged from the hospital, the nutritionist also made a family diet nutrition plan and asked her to "report" every week.
Public speech is supervised
In more than 14 TV stations in Germany, almost all TV stations have health programs, and at least 1% of the broadcast time every day involves health topics. In recent years, Germany has become more and more strict with nutritionists' public statements. Professor Kripke, an expert from the German Institute of International Media, said that the general entertainment programs in Germany are purchased from the program companies, but the health programs must be produced personally in Taiwan. First, there must be a detailed program plan, and then approval. For example, the censorship of private TV stations is mainly the responsibility of the German Media Licensing Regulatory Commission. Dr. Flothow, who once hosted a health program on German TV 1, told the author that for some controversial topics, the program group will be particularly cautious in making, so that the proposer of the topic can make a multi-faceted explanation and must come up with data and materials; Check the evaluation of third parties such as associations and management departments; I will also interview the questioning voices of different opinions.
