Abstract
The attention of the Chinese government on nutrition, exercise, and health refers to the attention degree of the Central Government to the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals and reflects whether Central Government attach importance to Chinese nationals' nutrition, exercise and health or not and the distribution of resources, which influence the physical quality and health level of Chinese nationals. Based on the attention theory and attention distribution proposed by Herbert Simon, Dai Kai, et al., this study took 43 Central Government Work Reports from 1978 to 2020 as research samples, used literature reviews, and textual analysis methods, and applied the Nvivo12.0 software to conduct qualitative and quantitative analyses about the contents of the Central Government Work Report concerning the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals. This research found the following: (1) There has been a relatively huge overall change in the attention of the Central Government, that is, the level of attention, to the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals from 1978 to 2020, and the policies related to nutrition, exercise and health of Chinese nationals issued by the Central Government have been growing faster. (2) The income level of the urban and rural residents, the total production of various types of food, dietary structure, the total number of medical and health institutions, the average life expectancy of the Chinese population, and the number of sports venues have been constantly increasing since the reform and opening up, which has effectively promoted the improvement of the nutrition, exercise and health level of Chinese nationals, and it cannot be achieved without the attention and support of the Central Government. However, the change in the lifestyle of Chinese nationals has led to the growth of the modern “Civilization Disease,” which is also an important issue that the Central Government needs to handle urgently.

Summary
The Outline and Plan of “Healthy China 2030” issued by the Communist Party of China of Central Committee (hereinafter referred to as CPC Central Committee) and the State Council of the People’s Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as State Council) that is the Central Government of the People’s Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as Central Government) proposed that “health is an inevitable requirement for promoting human beings’ all-round development, and the realization of national health and longevity is an important symbol of the country’s prosperity, strength, and national rejuvenation” [1]. Some researchers took the central policy documents from 1986 to 2019 as the research samples to explore the changing rules of the attention of the Central Government to urban community governance, which provided a reference for promoting urban community governance [7], others analyzed the “Key Points of Works” that was issued by the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China from 1987 to 2019 through five dimensions, and uncovered the characteristics of the attention distribution of the Central Government to vocational education, and put forward suggestions to optimize the attention distribution levels of the Central Government to vocational education [8]. The research does validate the hypothesis that the attention of the Central Government influences Chinese nutrition, exercise, and health, and fills the gap in the application of attention theory in this field, and promotes the construction of a healthy China
