On August 29th, China CDC held the information conference of 2022 Healthy Lifestyle Publicity Month in Beijing, and released the core information of "three reductions and three healths" for reducing salt, oil and sugar, healthy mouth, healthy weight and healthy bones to the public, advocating light taste and paying attention to "three healths" throughout the life cycle.

In view of the "three reductions", the public is encouraged to taste light and control salt, oil and sugar, and it is put forward that "the daily salt is only 5 grams", "the consumption of cooking oil is controlled" and "food and drink should be less sugar"; In view of the "three health", advocate the whole life cycle concern, and put forward "brush your teeth correctly twice in the morning and evening", "measure your weight, calculate your index and measure your waist circumference" and "strengthen your bones and care for your joints". The conference invited experts to interpret the core information of salt reduction, oil reduction, sugar reduction, healthy mouth, healthy weight and healthy bones.
Wu Jing, head of the chronic diseases department of China CDC and director of the chronic diseases center of China CDC, introduced the basic situation and latest progress of the action. She pointed out that 2022 is the 15th anniversary of the launch of the National Healthy Lifestyle Action, and it is also the fifth year of the implementation of the concept of "three reductions and three health". It is of great significance for China CDC to release the core information at this time to further popularize the concept of "three reductions and three health" and promote the Healthy China Action. The concept of "reducing salt, reducing oil, reducing sugar, healthy mouth, healthy weight and healthy bones" is put forward and implemented, which is an important contribution of the national healthy lifestyle action to the construction of a healthy China, and has become an important starting point for the prevention and control of chronic diseases and the promotion of healthy lifestyles in China.
According to reports, the national healthy lifestyle action focuses on "national participation", "action implementation" and "enhancing people’s sense of gain". Since its launch in 2007, with the active promotion of all localities, it has covered more than 96% of counties and districts in China, built more than 80,000 health supporting environments in 12 categories, and recruited and trained more than 800,000 healthy lifestyle instructors. The concept of "keep your legs open and keep your mouth shut" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the seeds of a healthy lifestyle are spread all over the society, and the awareness of a healthy lifestyle has taken root among the people.
