“Compared with developed countries, there is a large gap in the intake of deep-sea fish among children in my country, which also leads to high-quality protein and unsaturated fatty acids. Insufficient intake of important nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin E.” Wang Zhu, a researcher at the Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that to guide children in a reasonable diet and improve children’s health, we can start with adjusting the diet structure, such as making Children have a reasonable intake of fat and increase their intake of deep-sea fish rich in Omega-3.
“Salmon, as a source of high-quality deep-sea protein rich in unsaturated fatty acid Omega-3, is becoming a new favorite on the dining table of residents.” The relevant person in charge of Joyvio Group believes that the recommendation of salmon in this dietary guide, It is bound to promote the upgrade of salmon from “niche protein” to “national protein”, and help consumers to establish a healthy concept upgrade from “food balance” to a more comprehensive “nutrient balance”.
Experts said that with the continuous improvement of living standards, the “quantity” of protein in the dietary structure of Chinese residents has been greatly improved, and the “quality” of protein still needs to be changed from animal protein to animal protein. The structure of increasing the intake of fish and shrimp protein and high-quality deep-sea protein is continuously adjusted and optimized.
“As a domestic company covering the entire industry chain of salmon farming, import, processing and sales, we make salmon from the pure waters of Antarctica a daily meal for Chinese people, aiming to promote the upgrade of ‘national protein’.” The relevant person in charge of Joyvio Group said that with the new round of opportunities brought about by the promotion of healthy food such as salmon, Joyvio will promote industrial upgrading with advanced productivity in the future, and promote the solid implementation of the “Healthy China” action with multi-dimensional measures.
