Medicated Food Is Expected To Enter Beijing'S Community Life &Nbsp, Resulting In A Million Talents Gap.

In the health of Chinese medicine, driven by health, health preservation

In order to standardize the production and management of medicated food, in July this year, the first normative document "the basic requirements for the production and qualification of Chinese medicinal food" has been officially promulgated, and the implementation rules will be issued soon.

With the gradual perfection of the standard standards, the Chinese medicated diet will gradually move from the disorder in the past to the norm.

Zhou Wenquan, President of China Pharmaceutical Food Research Association, told reporters that the popularity of medicated diet will become the trend of future development.

He disclosed that Beijing and Changchun are expected to become the first batch of pilot cities for medicinal food entering the community.

Health care food and food Nuggets new selling point

On December 4th -5, the cafeteria of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine was especially busy.

Over 300 representatives from more than 40 restaurants from more than 20 provinces and autonomous regions in China gathered here to participate in the sixth regimen of Chinese medicated diet co sponsored by the China Pharmaceutical Food Research Association and Beijing University of Chinese Medicine.

As the first cooking competition after the release of the basic requirements for the production and qualification of Chinese medicinal food, the competition has set clear requirements for the qualifications of competitors, selection of raw materials for entries, and compatibility of dishes.

For example, the requirements for competitors' entries should be prominent, edible, with health care functions and avoid being flashy. Strictly prohibit the use of artificial pigments, ornamental materials should be eaten; in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of health, the rational use of Chinese herbal medicines should be made according to the requirements of the Pharmacopoeia.

Players who participate in individual competitions should complete the production of dishes cooked by the Organizing Committee in addition to their own work.

Although the gold medal is only a small number of enterprises and individuals, but through practical operations, the players not only demonstrated their respective level of strength, but also learned about the development of Chinese medicinal food production technology through mutual observation.

Jia Bangmin, executive chef of Jin Chao MA International Hotel, told reporters that with the improvement of the living standard of modern people, the health care and health care of traditional Chinese medicine represented by medicated food is attracting more and more attention.

It is the market that is optimistic about this. The hotel's Luo wa group is currently preparing to build a brand new green health care Hotel, Waldhotel, which will provide a full range of health care services for the guests.

Participating in the competition is to train and train the team, and promote the improvement of the cooking level of chefs through study and communication.

Drug food needs to go out of the mistaken idea of "aristocracy"

Pay attention to today's catering market will find that more and more businesses are keen to play the "stepping card".

In ordinary dishes, once added Chinese medicine such as wolfberry, angelica, astragalus, ginseng and pilose antler, the body will be doubled for the sake of medicinal diet.

The reporter once saw four or five kinds of stew products under the banner of nourishing medicinal food in a restaurant near Chaoyang Hospital.

Although the price of forty or fifty yuan and a tank is much higher than that of ordinary dishes, many people are constantly buying, and many people buy it for their patients.

The shopkeeper told reporters that there were many valuable Chinese medicinal herbs in the soup, and that it would be good for the body to eat.

But is this really the case? Zhou Wenquan, President of the Chinese medicated food research association, said that there is also a problem of dialectical diet.

Only under the guidance of the theory of Chinese medicine, can we judge whether a medicinal diet is suitable for it according to the specific circumstances of the actual object.

This means that although medicated diet itself has some functions of nourishing and nourishing the human body, it does not mean that all people are suitable for eating medicinal food, nor does it mean that a medicinal diet can make up for many aspects.

If you use medicated food to make up, sometimes it will not only achieve the nourishing effect, but will even produce the opposite effect.

Zhou Wenquan thinks that many people will think of expensive food when they mention medicinal food, which is actually a misunderstanding in their understanding.

Bitter gourd, yam and many other ingredients, also have a certain therapeutic effect.

In order to popularize medicinal food, catering enterprises should start from the perspective of scientific diet and improving people's livelihood, instead of simply making profits.

The popularity of medicated diet is the trend of future development.

He disclosed that the Chinese medicated food research association plans to extend the medicated diet to the community, popularize the knowledge of medicinal food in the family, and help people improve their quality of life.

Beijing and Changchun are expected to become the first batch of pilot cities in the community.

China's medicated food talents shortfall millions

In fact, medicinal diet is a kind of diet with health care function combined with traditional Chinese medicine, cuisine and nutriology.

It is understood that Chinese medicine has strict taboos on medicinal diet, including: incompatibility of drugs, incompatibility between food and food, incompatibility of food and disease avoidance.

At present, some medicinal food soup and health preserving soup on the market only add Chinese herbal medicine to food. Some medicinal herbs only play the role of flavoring and removing fishy smell, and the curative effect of diet therapy is not large. Some even randomly mix with each other, which violates the incompatibility and brings hidden danger to health.

"After training in recent years, our current qualified medical food teacher is estimated at around 1200 people.

From the current number of catering enterprises, the market demand for pharmaceutical food teachers is estimated to reach millions.

Li Baohua, vice president of China Pharmaceutical Research Association, told reporters.

Obviously, the shortage of qualified personnel has become a major bottleneck restricting the development of the medicated food industry, and it is also the main reason for the confusion and disorderly competition in the medicated food market.

According to Li Baohua, in July this year, the release of the basic requirements for the production and qualification of Chinese medicinal food production ended the embarrassment that the pharmaceutical food industry did not have uniform norms and standards.

Next, the China Pharmaceutical Food Research Association will carry out corresponding training with relevant departments in accordance with the operation system of the early, middle, high, famous teachers and masters, and plans to popularize the knowledge of medicated meals throughout the country through the network training and assessment starting next year.
