Undernutrition is a condition that occurs when a person’s diet does not contain the right amount of nutrients. Undernutrition among children and pregnant women can lead to children being underweight, stunted, low body mass, etc. This severely affects the immunity system and restricts growth and development in them.

Some of the main causes of malnutrition are:
• Poor intake of nutritious food by pregnant women and mothers
• Ignorance of health and nutrition and poor healthy practices
• Poor intake of balanced diet by children
• Intake of junk/ fast food

इसका समस्या के प्रमुख तीन प्रमुख कारण है सर्वप्रथम जिम्मेदारी का अभाव, दूसरा अशिक्षा तथा तीसरा गरीबी | जिम्मेदारी का अभाव से मेरा तात्पर्य है कि सरकार द्वारा उपलब्ध कराई गई आधारभूत संरचना से जुड़े सभी लोग अपनी जिम्मेदारी को न सिर्फ समझें बल्कि हर गर्भवती स्त्री को भी उसका एहसास कराएं और ज्यादा से ज्यादा महिलाओं की सहभागिता से उन्हें शिक्षित करें | गरीब परिवारों की गर्भवती महिलाओं को पोषक तत्वों से युक्त भोजन की व्यवस्था NGO की सहायता से करवाने की व्यवस्था की जाए |

Nutrition is the birth right of every child and if this is violated due to ignorance and lack of access to health services then it is truly a national shame.

All of us, civil society, NGOs, INGOs should join hands with the Government of India to address this on war foot. It would be good to see some innovative methods of addressing malnutrition here.

कुपोषण को दूर करने के लिए हमें सबसे पहले लोगो को शिक्षित होना बहुत जरुरी है तभी वो समझ पाएंगे की हमें कौन से खाद्य पदार्थो का उपयोग करके कुपोषण को दूर किया जा सकता है और महिलाओं को जागरूक करने की सख्त जरूरत है ताकि वो अपने परिवार को अच्छा और पोस्टिक आहार देकर कुपोषण से मुक्त करने में अपनी महत्पूर्ण भूमिका निभा सके और महिलाओं को ज्यादा से ज्यादा जागरूक करने की जरूरत है ताकि वो कुपोषण को दूर करने के लिए सरकार द्वारा चलाई जा रही योजनाओ की जानकारी उन्हें मिल सके वो उसका सही उपयोग कर सके

मैंडॉ विनीता मेवाड़ा मैंने कुपोषण की रोकथाम के लिए ग्रामीण क्षेत्र में कार्य किया किया हैI मेरे अनुभव से कुपोषण का महत्वपूर्ण कारण उन मातापिता की अशिक्षा, रोजगारी और माता का खान पान हैI अशिक्षा से उन्हें ज्ञात नहीं की बच्चो के विकास के लिए दालरोटी के अतिरिक्त किन पोषक तत्वों की आवश्यकता हैI सरकारी योजना का लाभ लेने में रूचि नहीं लेते वे अधिक महत्त्व मजदूरी को देते है ताकि उनका चूल्हा जल सकेI कुपोषित परिवार को चिन्हित कर सरकारी पोषणआहार व्यवस्था को उनके नजदीक ले जाने का प्रबंध किया जाना चाहिए

A balanced diet should include vegetables, fruits, sprouts,etc. Junk food should be avoided. Also appropriate amount of fluid should be consumed to keep the body hydrated. Green vegetables like Spinach, etc needs to be consumed. Children should be encouraged to consume fruits, vegetables, dry fruits, nuts and milk. Food should be consumed on time and a routine must be maintained as much as possible.

Malnutrition among children is a big concern for a developing
nation like us. Awareness about the need to maintain a nutritious diet needs to be created. Pregnant women needs to consume food rich with iron, calcium, proteins, vitamins and other nutrition. Balanced diet with appropriate level of nutrition needs to be consumed for which a experienced and certified doctor can be consulted. Breastfeeding for babies till the age of 3 is a must as,it will help in building a strong immune system.

Focusing on the first 1,000 days of the child’s life is important. In this period, the child needs to be well-nourished to avoid incidence of malnutrition.
The food should be balanced and other micronutrients foods such as those rich in folic acid, especially for pregnant women.
After birth, the child should be breastfed exclusively for six months then complimentary foods should be introduced.
Both the husband and wife have a task to ensure their baby is healthy.
