四、阅读理解
In the soft morning glow of a hospital bakery in Kunming, Yunnan Province, the air is filled with scents: the simple smell of goji berries, the mild sweetness of jujubes(红枣)—all mixed with the smell of freshly baked bread. As the first loaf, dotted with medicinal herbs, emerges from the oven, the line outside the door stretches down the hallway. This mix of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and modern baking has turned hospital bakeries into the new hot spots for health-conscious youth.
Faced with health issues brought about by highly intense workdays and irregular schedules, they are increasingly paying attention to health management, but meanwhile, they refuse the burden of expensive wellness. Many young people also embrace the concept of “food as medicine”. Over the years, medicinal food products have gradually become an important development direction and a new economic growth point in the health industry. TCM tea drinks and medicinal food restaurants have also mushroomed in the market.
As a group that is more willing to accept new things, Chinese youngsters are more open to new medicinal food products, experts say. The Generation Z Nutrition Consumption Trend Report, released by a consulting institution, shows that young people are becoming the main force of health consumption in China. Those aged 18 to 35 account for 83.7 percent of health and wellness consumers, the report says. They are enthusiastic about posting reviews of medicinal breads online, which has led to the popularity of topics like “new Chinese-style wellness” on social media and the increasing popularity of related products, according to the report.
However, issues behind the popularity of medicinal breads cannot be ignored. “Most medicinal breads on the market do not clearly label the types and content of medicinal ingredients used, nor do they state any dietary restrictions,” says Zhao Yinghong, a medical
expert at a hospital specializing in Dai medicine in Xishuangbanna.
Experts warn that in the absence of clear standards for such health-focused breads, consumers should approach foods labeled with TCM more rationally and not expect them to solve health problems. “This lack of professionalism in the area will not only mislead consumers, but also weaken public trust in TCM in the long run,” Zhao adds.
