The intake of most nutrients is insufficient, much lower than the intake recommended by the dietary guideline for the residents in Sichuan. The intake of the microelements of Ca, Zn, Se and vitamin C, etc., is seriously insufficient, and the intake of protein and dietary fiber is also insufficient. Therefore, the intake of beans, bean products, vegetables, fruits, fishes, shrimps, eggs, milk and dairy products shall be enhanced; In addition, the special dietary habits in Sichuan lead to excessive intake of livestock and poultry meat, edible oils and edible salts by the residents, therefore, the intake of these foods shall be controlled; at the same time, reasonable diet and healthy lifestyle shall be advocated. And the residents in Sichuan shall be encouraged to do more sports and take more exercises.
