ZERO STUNTED CHILDREN

Children are prospective adults. This fact implies that mankind's future is liable on children 's well-being. Hence healthy infants that are well-educated will make strong adults that are hard-working and by extension strong societies.

Therefore infants' dietary habits are a major concern for sicknesses due to dietary deficiencies are rampant.We think of rachitis ( that results from vitamin D deficiency), beriberi( that is a proteins- deficiency illness). Rachitis or rickets is an ill-nutrition disease that prevails in war-torn areas and in drought-plagued lands . Folks who feed mostly on cereals without any other foodstuff such as proteins are candidates to this sickness.

In order to combat these illnesses parents, nutritionists and decisions-makers should join their efforts by : -promoting peace in their community instead of waging wars ones against the others for wars destroy farms and increase food shortages.

- by implementing solutions that check desertification .We think of aforestation , proper irrigation systems, proper wells and water-drills constructions. These initiatives enhance substantial agriculture that generates an abundant and a varied foodstuff for households.

-by teaching parents basics about what a balanced diet entails. A healthy diet involves the combination of proteins (that are found in beans ,fish, meat, eggs, milk, and so on),of glucids otherwise called sugar-containing foodstuff, fats or lipids  ,fiber-containing produce or cereals ,fruits for the vitamins and minerals they harbour and safe water. Bearing such a knowledge in their mind parents are going to set up right family budgets that match up with their household's needs .

For instance beans and rice or wheat form a nourishing dish .Hence governments should encourage farmers to grow these produce through, subsidies, grants , loans and an adequate land tenure system

In addition decision-makers should urge food-industries to manufacture beans  and they should support them subsequently through an appropriate  taxation system.

Are these commitments upheld , then “zero stunted children” will be more than a topic ; it is going to be an achievement.
