Nutritionists' nutrition-related problems

There are 2500 lucky people who have just come out, but those who have just graduated are generally not that tall.

There is a market, but there is no talent. The shortage of nutrition and health care teachers is 654.38+10,000.

While college students lament that it is difficult to find a job and it is even more difficult to find a good job, many enterprises are also facing the embarrassing situation of not recruiting suitable talents. According to Lian Shijian (Beijing) Institute of International Education, there are many health management institutions, nutrition consulting companies, schools, kindergartens, nutrition and health products enterprises and nutrition supermarkets in Beijing.

Bioengineering companies and some high-end community service centers are also facing the situation of "there is a market but no talents", and professional nutrition talents are urgently needed. Health professionals have gradually become a hot commodity in 2006.

How to eat boiled fish without getting angry

"But nutritionists should study everything related to diet," Yue Wei, president of Lian Shijian Institute of International Education, told reporters. At present, newspapers, magazines, books, TV networks and other media are paying attention to the knowledge of health and nutrition. Being a nutrition hygienist requires strict, scientific and systematic training, including sports science, nutrition knowledge, community service, food safety, food hygiene, cooking and so on. Before giving advice to customers, the nutrition hygienist first evaluates nutrition, and then teaches them how to eat, what to eat and how much to eat. Dietitians do not cure diseases, but prevent them. They mainly instruct sub-healthy people how to take in nutrition. Most people need health care rather than treatment. Mr. Liu, the manager of the catering department of a large hotel, said that taking eating meat dishes such as "pickled fish" and "boiled fish" as an example, many people love and fear it, because it is really delicious and because it is too spicy to get angry easily. Nutritionists will tell you that getting angry is because you don't know how to eat spicy food. After eating these spicy meat dishes, most people can't eat any vegetables, and their vitamin intake is definitely insufficient, so they will definitely get angry. The correct way to eat is to be vegetarian before eating meat.

Nutrition and health care teachers in Beijing cause talent "famine"

Nutrition hygienist is generally a doctor to nutritionist, and some nurses to nutrition hygienist. Yue Wei introduced that there are also some nutrition consulting companies, health studios and health management companies in China. People can learn relevant knowledge and guide their own nutrition practice by attending nutritionist training classes. At present, specialized institutions that provide nutrition services are gradually emerging in China market, and some students who have participated in dietitian training start their own businesses after obtaining graduation certificates. China's nutrition and health workers are facing a talent "famine". According to the figures provided by Beijing Nutrition and Health Professionals Training Office, there are currently less than 5,000 professionals holding the qualification certificates of nutrition and health professionals in this city, with a gap of 50,000-65,438+10,000. Most of these 5,000 people are novices who just got the qualification certificate in the past two years. According to the investigation of 403 hospitals in China by national authorities, only 47% hospitals have nutrition departments or nutrition restaurants, and there are still different degrees of staff turnover. Due to the serious shortage of personnel, a group of students who have obtained certificates first are optimistic about their employment, and their wages have generally increased by nearly 20%.

There is still room for improvement with a monthly salary of two or three thousand yuan.

According to the survey, a number of nutrition and health professionals with industry qualification certificates have appeared in some high-end communities in Beijing. Take the community nutrition company as an example. In a community of 50,000 people, according to the consumption of 20,000 people and the profit of 50 cents per person, the daily profit of this nutrition company is more than 1 1,000 yuan. The profit of nutrition consultation and other services should be more considerable. Faced with such great business opportunities, more and more people are engaged in this emerging industry. According to a survey conducted by a human resources company in Beijing, the current monthly income of nutrition and health care teachers is between 2000 and 3000 yuan, and a few can reach 10000 yuan. According to insiders, because nutrition and health care is an empirical science, the longer it is done, the higher the income, and its income level is closely related to personal ability. The positions of nutrition and health workers in China are mainly concentrated in some medical and scientific research units, and some well-known hotels generally recruit nutrition and health workers directly from designated training institutions and colleges. If the relevant national laws and regulations are officially promulgated, the wages of nutrition and health care workers will also rise.

The country has a food culture for thousands of years, and the concept of "food supplement is better than medicine supplement" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, few people can explain clearly how to make up the "food supplement", which requires the professional guidance of nutritionists.

Nutritionists are not just "porridge cooks"

65438+ 10, the reporter interviewed some pedestrians randomly in Chaoyang District, Beijing, and found that everyone was not clear about the concept of "nutritionist". "The nutritionist cooks for patients in the hospital, right?" "Nutritionists teach us how to make nutritious meals, which is different from ordinary chefs." Yu Guixiang, member of the Nutrition Society of the Beijing Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and director of the Nutrition Department of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, told the reporter that because the research on nutrition in China started late, many people knew little about it, and sometimes even nutritionists themselves said with self-mockery: "We are porridge in a hospital."

In fact, nutrition is a science, which specializes in nutrition collocation, nutrition complementarity and nutrition balance. The main job of nutritionists is to study the relationship between nutrients in food and human functional requirements, that is, to guide people to "eat what, how and how much". According to the different research fields and contents, nutritionists can be divided into nutritionists who study children's nutrition, adolescents' nutrition and the elderly's nutrition, clinical nutritionists who study therapeutic diets and nutritionists who study ordinary diets of a wider population. In a word, a qualified dietitian should be a doctor, a nutritionist and a chef, not just a porridge cook.

Dining halls for 0/00 people in Japan/KLOC must be equipped with nutritionists.

Developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan realized more than half a century ago that "scientific nutrition collocation and balanced diet can change the future of a person, a family and even a nation". After World War II, when Japan formulated its economic development strategy, it focused on two aspects, namely, education and national quality. 1947 Japan promulgated the Nutritionist Law, and 1952 formulated and implemented the Nutrition Improvement Law. According to the law, any canteen that can accommodate 100 people must be equipped with at least 1 nutritionist. At present, there are 400,000 professional nutritionists in Japan, accounting for 1∶300 of the national population. Nutritionists are widely distributed in hospitals, schools, canteens, hotels, food processing enterprises and government departments. To provide timely nutrition guidance for the people of the whole country.

It is reported that in the United States, nutritionists are very popular, and it is not easy to obtain dietitian qualifications. Only medical college graduates who have been on probation for two years in related fields are eligible to take the registered dietitian examination, and they can only engage in related work after passing the unified examination. In addition, we will receive 75 hours of re-education every five years in order to update our knowledge in time and better guide the masses. However, once qualified, nutritionists can have an enviable high income and social status as doctors. In the eyes of Americans, whether private clinics are equipped with nutritionists is an important indicator to measure whether the clinics are perfect and professional. People are very concerned about the opinions of nutritionists and have formed the habit of consulting nutritionists at any time.

At present, there are less than 4,000 nutritionists in China.

Compared with Japan and the United States, the present situation of nutritionists in China is not optimistic. Director Yu Guixiang said that there are currently less than 4,000 nutritionists in China. If we calculate according to the ratio of Japanese nutritionists to the national population, that is, there are/kloc-0 nutritionists for every 300 people, there is a shortage of nearly 4 million nutritionists in China. Moreover, among the limited 4,000 people, most of them become monks halfway, and there are very few professionals. According to a survey conducted by the Nutrition Society of China in 2002, only 47% of the 403 hospitals interviewed have nutrition departments, and more than half of them have no nutrition departments at all, let alone nutritionists. There are *** 1722 nutrition staff in the hospital, but only 392 people have obtained the qualification of dietitian, accounting for only 22%. The hospitals that need nutritionists most are still like this, and the situation of canteens, hotels and schools can be imagined. The reporter visited a number of restaurants on Chang 'an Avenue in Beijing, and found that there are many top and first-class chefs in these restaurants, but none of them are equipped with nutritionists. The reason is simple-whether there is a nutritionist or not has no effect on the profit of the restaurant. The reason behind this phenomenon is worth pondering: why are nutritionists left out?

Dietitians can help people prevent "rich diseases"

Director Yu Guixiang told reporters that with the general improvement of people's living standards in China, people's diet structure is also undergoing tremendous changes, from the traditional diet structure based on plant food to the diet structure based on meat food. However, this rapid change is unacceptable to human function for a while, and a series of diseases follow. One-sided emphasis on "delicious" and bad eating habits has led to the strange phenomenon that individual nutrition deficiency and overall nutrition excess coexist in China residents. According to the national physical fitness survey in 2002, among the children under 5 years old in China, 35% are short of height, 30% are rickets, 33% are iodine deficiency and 20% are iron deficiency anemia. There are more than 30 million obese people and 240 million overweight people in China. The number of people suffering from "rich diseases" is also rising sharply. Take diabetes as an example. 1979, the proportion of diabetic patients in China was 0.67%, 1998, and the proportion rose to 3.2 1%. At present, diabetes patients in Beijing have accounted for 6%.

This series of shocking figures reminds people that a reasonable diet and balanced nutrition are an integral part of disease prevention and treatment. You can't wait until you have diabetes, coronary heart disease or tumor and have to accept diet therapy before you "cram for Buddha's feet" and think of dietitians.

Director Yu Guixiang also believes that the professional level of nutritionists in China needs to be further improved, and the construction of a reserve team of nutritionists must be put on the agenda. Only by popularizing professional nutritionists in China can people get correct guidance in choosing food, cooking, dining and purchasing health care products.
