Hi healthy steem friends

On this occasion I would like to participate in an interesting and educational contest about the problems faced by children due to malnutrition. Therefore, it is important to discuss this issue so that in the future we can understand and know what we have to do to provide nutrition for our children.

Before that, thank you to Mrs @suboohi who has held this beautiful contest, I would like to invite my friends @chefdanie @pecintabunga20 and @suryanitj to participate.

problems that children can face due to poor nutrition?

At this time, children are malnourished, so the serious problem they experience is that the child does not get enough nutrition for the body, which disrupts the child's growth and development, namely underweight and stunting.

In many cases, malnutrition also reduces the level of brain intelligence in children, micronutrient deficiencies such as anemia, Kwashiorkor or what is called protein deficiency, vitamin C deficiency which causes symptoms of mouth ulcers, skin rashes, diarrhea and fever.

Therefore, it is important for us as parents to prevent malnutrition in children. We cannot take this lightly, because the possibility of poor nutrition affects the health level of the child's growth and development.

What are the factors that cause malnutrition?

Perhaps the main factor that I can say causes malnutrition in children is economic factors. As a result of poverty, we are powerless to get good health services, nutritious food such as vegetables and fruit, milk and foods that are high in vitamins and other minerals. And maybe sometimes it is difficult for them to get clean water and health supplements.

However, in general, malnutrition factors in children are caused by:

  • poor diet
    This is an irregular eating pattern, it can be less or maybe sometimes more, this cannot meet the child's nutritional needs optimally as a result of which the child experiences malnutrition.

  • mental health problems
    If a child experiences stress or depression, it makes the child lack appetite so that the child's daily nutritional needs are not met.

  • problems with the child's digestive system
    Children who experience health problems in the digestive system experience rejection of gluten, so that food absorption is hampered and they experience nutritional and nutritional deficiencies in the body.

  • lack of maternal breast milk intake
    Breast milk contains good nutrition so it is good for the growth and development of babies or children, therefore pediatricians recommend giving children breast milk from birth to two years.

How can we prevent children from this problem?
  • Education about nutrition
    Parents play an important role in children's growth and development and completing children's daily nutritional needs, therefore education is needed about the importance of nutrition, and the health problems that arise if children are malnourished.

  • consume nutritious food that is healthy and balanced, providing the need for nutritious food that is easy to access and reach.

  • immunization program
    This is a useful program because this immunization program provides children with health services to prevent disease and malnutrition.
    We hope that the methods above can prevent malnutrition in children.

Can you provide suggestions for improving children's health services in developing countries?

My advice for developing countries in improving children's health services is good access to health, providing health services for babies and toddlers and providing comprehensive education for children's health.

The government must ensure affordable access to health and adequate health personnel for every region, especially isolated remote areas. The government's role is in making important efforts for the community to get clean water, as well as medicine and health vitamins for children.

Carrying out an immunization program once a month to provide health services to children, giving them vitamins and checking their children's condition regularly. This immunization program is also useful for educating parents to be more aware of malnutrition in children and the importance of nutrition for children's growth.

It is the responsibility of every parent to ensure proper nutrition in the body of the children. But in the absence of proper knowledge, many times we cannot ensure it. It is not just about eating any food, but also notice about how much it will contribute to improving their mental and physical health.
