China: Characteristics of plant-based food: 1) More cereals 2) Less animal food 3) Dietary energy basically meets the needs 4) Sufficient dietary fiber 5) Low animal fat The dietary composition is mainly plant-based food, supplemented by animal food

.

Its characteristics are: large consumption of cereal foods and small consumption of animal foods.

Animal protein generally accounts for 10% to 20% of the total protein, and the energy provided by plant foods accounts for nearly 90% of the total energy.

This type of dietary energy can basically meet the needs of the human body, but the intake of protein and fat is low, and the intake of nutrients (such as iron, calcium, vitamin A, etc.) mainly from animal foods is insufficient.

Nutritional deficiency diseases are a major nutritional problem in these populations.

But on the other hand, a dietary structure based on plant foods, with sufficient dietary fiber and low animal fat, is beneficial to the prevention of coronary heart disease and hyperlipidemia.

Problems: insufficient calcium, iron, and vitamin A, prone to nutritional deficiencies.

The United States: Mainly characterized by animal food: 1) More animal food 2) Less plant food 3) High fat, high energy, high protein, low fiber There are problems: excess energy, excess nutrition, prone to chronic diseases. This type of dietary structure is the majority

The typical dietary structure of developed countries in Europe and the United States is a diet of overnutrition.

The main feature is that it provides high energy, high fat, high protein and low dietary fiber.

Compared with a plant-based diet, overnutrition is a major health problem faced by people in countries with such a diet.
