Malnutrition & Free Siddha Energy Remedies

In Bangladesh, the poor socioeconomic position was associated with chronic malnutrition since it inhibits the purchase of nutritious foods such as milk, meat, poultry, and fruits.

It is argued that commodity speculators are increasing the cost of food. As the real estate bubble in the United States was collapsing, it is said that trillions of dollars moved to invest in food and primary commodities, causing the 2007–2008 food price crisis.

Agricultural productivity (???? ?????????)

Local food shortages can be caused by a lack of arable land, adverse weather, lower farming skills such as crop rotation, or by a lack of technology or resources needed for the higher yields found in modern agriculture, such as fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation, machinery, and storage facilities.

Future threats (?????? ?? ????)

There are a number of potential disruptions to the global food supply that could cause widespread malnutrition.

Global warming is of importance to food security, with 95 percent of all malnourished peoples living in the relatively stable climate region of the sub-tropics and tropics. Even small changes in temperatures can lead to increased frequency of extreme weather conditions. Many of these have a great impact on agricultural production and hence nutrition. 

Malnutrition Prevention (?????? ?? ??????)

Food security (????? ???????)

The effort to bring modern agricultural techniques found in the West, such as nitrogen fertilizers and pesticides, to Asia, called the Green Revolution, resulted in increased food production and corresponding decreases in prices and malnutrition similar to those seen earlier in Western nations. 

Economics (???????????)

There is a growing realization among aid groups that giving cash or cash vouchers instead of food is a cheaper, faster, and more efficient way to deliver help to the hungry, particularly in areas where food is available but unaffordable. 

The UN’s World Food Program, the biggest non-governmental distributor of food, announced that it will begin distributing cash and vouchers instead of food in some areas, which Josette Sheeran, the WFP’s executive director, described as a “revolution” in food aid. 

World population (?????? ?? ?????)

Restricting population size is a proposed solution. Thomas Malthus argued that population growth could be controlled by natural disasters and voluntary limits through “moral restraint.” Robert Chapman suggests that an intervention through government policies is a necessary ingredient of curtailing global population growth. 

The interdependence and complementarity of population growth with poverty and malnutrition (as well as the environment) are also recognized by the United Nations. More than 200 million women worldwide do not have adequate access to family planning services.

According to the World Health Organisation, “Family planning is key to slowing unsustainable population growth and the resulting negative impacts on the economy, environment, and national and regional development efforts”.

Food sovereignty (????? ?????????)

One suggested policy framework to resolve access issues is termed food sovereignty—the right of peoples to define their own food, agriculture, livestock, and fisheries systems, in contrast to having food largely subjected to international market forces.

Food First is one of the primary think tanks working to build support for food sovereignty. Neoliberals advocate for an increasing role of the free market.

Health facilities (????????? ????????)

Another possible long term solution would be to increase access to health facilities to rural parts of the world. These facilities could monitor undernourished children, act as supplemental food distribution centers, and provide education on dietary needs. These types of facilities have already proven very successful in countries such as Peru and Ghana.

Breastfeeding (???????)

As of 2016 is estimated that about 823,000 deaths of children less than five years old could be prevented globally per year through more widespread breastfeeding. In addition to reducing infant death, breast milk feeding provides an important source of micronutrients, clinically proven to bolster the immune system of children, and provide long-term defenses against non-communicable and allergic diseases. 

Exclusive breastfeeding is defined as only giving an infant breast milk for six months as a source of food and nutrition. This means no other liquids, including water or semi-solid foods.

Malnutrition Diet 

A healthy eating plan gives your body the nutrients it needs every day. It shall have enough calories for good health, but not so much that it makes you overweight.

A healthy eating plan is the one with:

• Low in saturated fat
• Trans fat
• Cholesterol
• Sodium (salt)
• Added sugar

Following a healthy eating plan will lower your risk for overweight /obesity, heart disease, and other related conditions.

Healthy foods include:

• Fat-free and low-fat dairy products, such as low-fat yogurt, cheese, and milk
• Protein foods, such as lean meat, fish, poultry without skin, beans, and peas
• Whole-grain foods, such as whole-wheat bread, oatmeal, and brown rice. Other grain foods include pasta, cereal, bagels, bread, tortillas, couscous, and crackers
• Fresh fruits, canned, frozen, or dried
• Fresh vegetables, canned (without salt), frozen or dried

Canola and olive oils, and soft kinds of margarine made from these oils are heart-healthy. However, you should use them in small amounts because they’re high in calories.

You also can include unsalted nuts, like walnuts and almonds, in your diet as long as you limit the amount you eat (nuts also are high in calories). Foods that are high in saturated and trans fats and cholesterol, raise your risk for heart disease, so they should be limited.

Saturated fats

Saturated fat is found mainly in fatty cuts of meat, such as ground beef, sausage, and processed meats (for example, bologna, hot dogs, and deli meats), Poultry with the skin, high-fat dairy products like whole-milk cheeses, whole milk, cream, butter, and ice cream, lard, coconut, and palm oils, which are found in many processed foods.

Trans fats

Trans fat is found mainly in foods with partially hydrogenated oils, such as many hard kinds of margarine and shortening, baked products and snack foods, foods fried in hydrogenated shortening.

Cholesterol

Cholesterol mainly is found in egg yolks, organ meats, such as liver, shrimp, whole milk or whole-milk products, such as butter, cream, and cheese.

Added sugar

Reducing foods and drinks with added sugars, like high fructose corn syrup, is important. Added sugars will give you extra calories without nutrients like vitamins and minerals. Added sugar is found in many desserts, canned fruit packed in syrup, fruit drinks, and non-diet drinks. Check the list of ingredients on food packages for added sugars like high-fructose corn syrup. Drinks that contain alcohol also will add calories, so it’s a good idea to limit your alcohol intake.

Food habits

Food habits have changed not only amongst the urban elites but even in the rural population. With the mechanization of the labor, most of the rural populations who were physically very active, have now become less laborious. The quantity of food consumption remained the same or increased.

More energy-intense food consumption habits with less physical activities are the main cause of lifestyle disorders like diabetes, hypertension even among the rural population.  This can be seen when anyone who has eaten out lately. In fact, over the past 40 years, portion sizes have grown significantly. Cutting back on portion size is a good way to eat fewer calories and balance your energy intake.

Studies

Studies have shown that we all tend to consume a certain quantity of food. Knowing this, you can lose weight if you eat foods that are lower in calories and fat for a given amount of food. For example, replacing a full-fat food product with a low-fat product that weighs the same helps you cut back on calories. Another helpful practice is to eat foods that contain lots of water, such as vegetables, fruits, and soups.

Being physically active and eating fewer calories will help you lose weight and keep weight off over time. Weight should be reduced gradually.

Tips to reduce body weight:

• Never use drugs for losing weight, it  can be dangerous
• Diets which you are using to reduce weight should be rich in proteins and low in carbohydrates and fats
• Increase the consumption of  fruits and vegetables
• Eat at frequent intervals
• Decrease the consumption of sugar, salt, fatty foods, refined foods, soft drinks, and fast food. 
• Prefer low- fat milk/ toned milk.  
• Include physical activity in your daily routine like aerobics, walk, yoga, etc.

Health Tips

• Prefer homemade foods against fast food
• Avoid junk foods as they are a major cause of obesity
• Eat raw fruits and vegetables whenever possible. It is even preferable to have fruits and raw vegetables instead of munching on snacks
• Limit consumption of sugar and unhealthy processed foods
• Keep your salt intake to less than 5 grams per day as it helps to prevent hypertension, and reduces the risk of heart disease. Prefer iodized salt
• Avoid trans fats that are found in processed food, fast food, snacks, fried food, frozen pizza, and cookies
• Serve yourself small portions of high-calorie foods and large portions of healthy foods like vegetables, salads, and soups
• Good nutrition need not always be expensive. You can get all the nutrients from low-cost foods items as well like beans and lentils, eggs, jaggery, seasonal fresh fruits, and green leafy vegetables
• Don’t be choosy over the foods you eat. It might relish your taste buds but it would lead to imbalanced nutrition
• Eat fresh foods with a minimum of processing
• Eat raw vegetables whenever possible. Use as little water as possible because many nutrients are destroyed by heat or boiled water if you need to cook them. 
• Eat fruits and vegetables with skins (apart from carrots, which can absorb toxins from the soil). Wash them thoroughly first
• Don’t cut, wash or soak fruits and vegetables until you are ready to eat them
• Avoid replacing meals with snack foods

Malnutrition Treatment (?????? ?? ????)

In response to child malnutrition, the Bangladeshi government recommends ten steps for treating severe malnutrition. They are to prevent or treat:

• Dehydration
• Low blood sugar
• Low body temperature
• Infection
• Correct electrolyte imbalances
• Micronutrient deficiencies
• Start feeding cautiously
• Achieve catch-up growth
• Provide psychological support
• Prepare for discharge and follow-up after recovery

Among those who are hospitalized, nutritional support improves protein, calorie intake, and weight.

Food (????)

The evidence for benefit of supplementary feeding is poor. This is due to the small amount of research done on this treatment.

Manufacturers are trying to fortify everyday foods with micronutrients that can be sold to consumers such as wheat flour for Beladi bread in Egypt or fish sauce in Vietnam and the iodization of salt.

For example, flour has been fortified with iron, zinc, folic acid and other B vitamins such as thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and vitamin B12.

Micronutrients (??????? ????)

Treating malnutrition, mostly through fortifying foods with micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), improves lives at a lower cost and shorter time than other forms of aid, according to the World Bank. The Copenhagen Consensus, which look at a variety of development proposals, ranked micronutrient supplements as number one.

In those with diarrhea, once an initial four-hour rehydration period is completed, zinc supplementation is recommended. Daily zinc increases the chances of reducing the severity and duration of diarrhea, and continuing with daily zinc for ten to fourteen days makes diarrhea less likely recur in the next two to three months.

For a malnourished child with diarrhea from any cause, this should include foods rich in potassium such as bananas, green coconut water, and unsweetened fresh fruit juice.

Diarrhea (????)

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends rehydrating a severely undernourished child who has diarrhea relatively slowly. The preferred method is with fluids by mouth using a drink called oral rehydration solution (ORS). 

Malnourished children have an excess of body sodium. Recommendations for home remedies agree with one liter of water (34 oz.) and 6 teaspoons sugar and disagree regarding whether it is then one teaspoon of salt added or only 1/2, with perhaps most sources recommending 1/2 teaspoon of added salt to one-liter water.

Low blood sugar (????? ???? ??????)

Hypoglycemia, whether known or suspected, can be treated with a mixture of sugar and water. If the child is conscious, the initial dose of sugar and water can be given by mouth. However, if the child is unconscious, give glucose by intravenous or nasogastric tube.

If seizures occur after despite glucose, rectal diazepam is recommended. Re-check blood sugar levels on two-hour intervals.

Hypothermia (???? ????????)

Hypothermia can occur. However, the child can be kept warm with covering including of the head or by direct skin-to-skin contact with the mother or father and then covering both parent and child to prevent or treat hypothermia. Prolonged bathing or prolonged medical exams should be avoided. Warming methods are usually most important at night.
