中国居民营养与健康状况调查表明:高血压、冠心病和糖尿病等慢性病患病率在我国城乡上升迅速。专家指出,出现这种状况的根源主要是人体元素平衡失调。广东省平衡保健研究所所长钟炳南认为,维持人体内几十种元素的平衡是人类健康长寿的最关键因素,微量元素失衡是一切慢性病之源。中国人血清中9种有益元素的调查显示,上世纪60年代和80年代相比,9种元素中铬、钴、钼、锰等6种元素减少90%以上,锌减少46.9%,硒减少1/3,正好和我国高血压、冠心病和糖尿病及癌症等慢性病高发相对应,并且与这些慢性病低龄 The survey on the nutritional status and health status of Chinese residents shows that the prevalence of chronic diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and diabetes has increased rapidly in urban and rural areas in China. Experts point out that the root cause of this situation is mainly the imbalance of human elemental balance. Zhong Bingnan, director of the Guangdong Provincial Institute of Balanced Health, believes that maintaining the balance of dozens of elements in the human body is the most critical factor in human health and longevity. Trace element imbalance is the source of all chronic diseases. The investigation of 9 beneficial elements in serum of Chinese people showed that in the 1960s and 1980s, 6 elements including chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, and manganese were reduced by more than 90%, zinc was reduced by 46.9%, and selenium decreased by 1 /3, just corresponds to the high incidence of chronic diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes and cancer in China, and is related to the low age of these chronic diseases.
