The China Geriatric Health Care Association and other four associations jointly issued an expert consensus on basic nutrition and anti-epidemic

So far, there is no specific drug to treat the new crown virus, how to prevent mild to severe disease at home after the elderly population with low immunity is infected with the new crown virus? How to carry out home nutrition conditioning if you have fever, sore throat, general weakness, headache, insomnia, depression and other symptoms?

On December 30, the China Geriatric Health Care Association took the lead, together with the Chinese Anti-aging Promotion Association, the Chinese Gerontology and Geriatrics Association, the China Association of Non-public Medical Institutions and other domestic first-level associations, as well as experts and scholars in the medical nutrition field at home and abroad, jointly issued the "Expert Consensus on Strengthening Basic Nutrition to Prevent Mild to Severe Infection of the Novel Coronavirus in the Middle-aged and Elderly Population" (hereinafter referred to as the "Expert Consensus"), which effectively fights the epidemic in the home environment for middle-aged and elderly people and immunocompromised people to prevent mild disease from turning into severe disease.
Provide a highly operational nutritional conditioning program
.

In view of the situation that the new crown virus is epidemic in China and has a huge impact on the elderly, the Chinese Geriatric Health Care Association invited nutrition experts from the Chinese Anti-aging Promotion Association, the Chinese Gerontology and Geriatrics Society, the China Association of Non-public Medical Institutions and other first-level associations to hold the first online preparatory meeting for the "Expert Consensus" on December 11, and set up a steering group and working group, which were led by Li Suyun, director of the Department of Clinical Nutrition of the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and Fan Min, director of the Department of Nutrition of the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
Dr.
Yu Hua, Vice President and Secretary-General of China Geriatric Health Care Association, Dr.
Gu Wentao, Executive Vice President and Secretary-General of Life and Health Branch of China Geriatric Health Care Association, Professor Liu Xinqi of the School of Food Science of Beijing Technology and Business University, Fu Ping, President of the Nutritional Food Branch of the Chinese Gerontology and Geriatrics Society, and He Mei, Chairman of the Geriatric Nutrition Branch of the Chinese Nutrition Society, etc.
wrote specifically, which lasted 10 days, discussed and revised more than 50 times, and completed the " Expert consensus on strengthening basic nutrition to prevent mild to severe disease of novel coronavirus infection in middle-aged and elderly people", which was deliberated and adopted
by four first-level associations.

Compared with the previous expert consensus, the Expert Consensus released this time is highly targeted and operable, and the practical effect is supported
by the front-line clinical nutrition treatment practice in various places in the early stage.
In addition, the Expert Consensus has achieved major breakthroughs in three areas:

The first major breakthrough: the provision of a "1+X" solution
.
"1" is to solve the problem of digestion and absorption of protein in the elderly, as the basis for
improving immunity and defeating the new crown virus.
Previous relevant consensus or guidelines only proposed that the elderly should eat more high-quality protein, but how to solve the problem of poor digestion of protein in the elderly did not give a specific and clear answer
.
The expert consensus, according to the digestion and absorption capacity and level of the elderly, gave the specific method of scientific and effective supplementation of high-quality protein for the elderly, and clearly proposed the solution to solve the digestion and absorption of protein in the elderly - directly taking "small molecule protein peptide", and gave two golden principles
for selecting high-quality "small molecule protein peptide".
Help solve the fundamental problem
of protein supplementation and immunity improvement in the elderly.
"X" focuses on the different symptoms that appear after infection and gives targeted nutritional treatment suggestions
.
The "1+X" program and its ideas not only grasp the fundamentals, but also take into account the specific symptoms, and treat
both the symptoms and the root causes.

The second major breakthrough: for fever, cough, sore throat, general weakness, bloating, vomiting, headache, depression, depression, inflammatory storm, weak antioxidant and repair ability, lung fibrosis seven post-infection symptoms, special nutritional conditioning program
is given.
It includes traditional dietary remedies, daily dietary nutrition advice, and targeted recommendations
such as nattokinase, lecithin, and coenzyme Q10.

This condenses the clinical experience of many clinical nutrition experts in the past three years, such as Director Fan Min of the Department of Nutrition of Xinjiang People's Hospital, Director Li Suyun of the Department of Nutrition of Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and Professor Chen Zhongliang of Canada, which has both a profound theoretical foundation and a significant practical conditioning effect
.

The third major breakthrough: the "Expert Consensus" put forward the combination application of vitamin C, vitamin E and other micronutrients, and the dosage of vitamin D has broken through the current domestic health care dose limit
.
Experts pointed out that after the new crown virus infection is replicated in the body in large quantities, the body's immune stress response to energy consumption such as nutrients is 10-20 times
that of usual.
On the one hand, this is summarized by clinical nutrition experts according to the specific physical conditions of new crown infected patients, and on the other hand, it also depends on the rapid development and research results of the international nutrition community, which has great guiding significance
.

Experts said that a considerable number of elderly people are currently facing severe disease after infection, if it can be popularized nationwide in time, the application of the program provided by this "Expert Consensus" is expected to guide family members to help infected elderly people scientifically through the dangerous period, reduce the risk of mild to severe disease, and accelerate health
recovery.
