#Chad: food insecurity in the country has a significant health impact. Malnutrition leads to compromised immunity and overall health, increasing disease vulnerability. Between February–May 2024, households will likely adopt coping strategies with potentially harmful consequences, such as reducing health spending, given high prices and low-income levels. These measures, however, will not be sufficient to meet consumption needs and would heighten the risk of poor diet. Check out our analysis: https://lnkd.in/dRX2MEXX

Currently we are seeing a rising trend in the levels of obesity, diabetes and several metabolic diseases. Some believe that it a responsibility of the people themselves to eat better 🥗 and #exercise regularly🏃🏽♂️to avoid or reduce the risk of disease. While others say that we need changes in #food policy where certain ingredients are reduced or avoided in food processing and packaged foods. Is one way better than the other? Or are they equally ineffective! Generalising the results achieved by a small group of people to the entire population does not seem wise in such a scenario. #health #policychange #india #wellbeing

As we marked the #DayofTheAfricanChild on June 16, it reminded us of the critical importance of our children's health. Industrially produced trans fats pose a serious threat to our children and many children are unknowingly consuming these harmful fats in their diets. Trans Fats are a major contributor to cardiovascular disease and stroke. They have no known nutritional benefits and there is no amount that is safe. We continue to urge East African Community Policy Makers to take decisive action through implementing a regional regulation that will limit the presence of industrially produced trans fats in our food. This will protect our children's health and ensure a healthier future for them. The health of our children is non-negotiable! It's time to regulate trans fats in the EAC. . . . #TransFatFreeKenya #TransFatFreeEAC

Obesity has eclipsed undernutrition as the predominant form of malnutrition, affecting more than one billion people globally. This alarming trend underscores the need for comprehensive public health strategies and improved access to nutritious foods. As leaders, innovators, and policymakers, we have the power to influence change and address the obesity epidemic head-on. Let's collaborate on solutions that promote health, well-being, and a sustainable future. #GlobalHealth #ObesityCrisis #PublicHealth #NutritionAccess #medindia https://lnkd.in/ghDxe5yS

#Nutrition starts from childhood specially the female child. An undernourished mother means undernourished children, and the cycle can repeat for generations. Additionally, under-nourished children carry bad news about human capital formation with certainty of low growth, low productivity, sticky & often deepening #poverty, & increasing disease burden. Let us talk about nutritional density, food fortification, and bio-fortification!

Access to good #nutrition is a basic human right and fundamental concept of human dignity. Yet women and girls are twice as likely to suffer from #malnutrition as men and boys, due to a combination of biological, social and cultural reasons. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dE5RxrrV #GenderEquality
