(d) The problem of micro nutrient deficiency disorders

There are now a number of nutrition programmes in place intended to deal with protein energy malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies among children.

209. Although the main nutrition deficiency disorder in Sri Lanka is protein malnutrition, studies have shown that there are three important micronutrient deficiency disorders nutritional anaemia due to iron deficiency, iodine deficiency disorders, and vitamin A deficiency.

Insulin is a hormone that promotes the uptake of nutrients into your tissues after you eat a meal.

Food fortifier means any natural or artificial food additive belonging to the category of natural nutrients that is put into food to increase its nutritive value.

WFP also participated in the ongoing work of the UNSCN working groups on HIV AIDS, household food security, school health and nutrition, nutrition in emergencies and micronutrients.

Promote the administration of micronutrients, particularly to children

Many factors contribute to undernutrition.

UNICEF is working closely with private sector partners, the Flour Fortification Initiative, the Micronutrient Initiative, the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition and the Asian Development Bank, in efforts including food fortification testing in China and Viet Nam.

Pre packaged food must therefore be labelled with certain information.

These girls are given one nutritionally balanced meal every school day, micronutrients as well as periodic de worming medicine.

Other nutrition related interventions implemented through the primary health care network include growth monitoring and promotion, nutrition surveillance, nutrition education, micro nutrient supplementation, treatment and rehabilitation of the severely malnourished and the control of infections.

(b) Nutrition and supplementary feeding services

There's one called TOR, which is another nutrient sensor, like the insulin pathway.

Those factors had resulted in an alarming spread of child malnutrition.

To achieve these objectives, UNICEF advocates the improvement of children s diet through the promotion of breastfeeding, community participation in fighting malnutrition and reduction of vitamin A, iron, nutrient and iodine deficiencies.

Provision of iodised salt will be ensured along with introduction of fortified flour and vegetable oil by addition of micronutrients like iron and vitamin A.

Now another form of pollution that's biological pollution is what happens from excess nutrients.

The survey revealed that the Danish population in general had an adequate supply of most nutrients.

More than 70,000 Lady Health Workers working at village level provided services for micronutrient supplementation and counseling on growth promotion, maternal and child nutrition, breast feeding and complementary feeding on a regular basis.
