What are the Interventions to Combat Malnutrition?
Addressing malnutrition requires a multi-faceted approach. Nutritional programs aimed at improving dietary quality, food fortification, and supplementation are crucial. Public health initiatives focusing on maternal and child health, promoting exclusive breastfeeding, and ensuring vaccination and deworming can help mitigate undernutrition. For overnutrition, strategies include promoting physical activity, regulating food marketing, and implementing policies to reduce the intake of sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats.
