NUTRITION FOR CHILDRENS

 NUTRITION FOR CHILDRENS

The Real Estate Development Goals (SDGs) and, therefore, the Decade of Action on Nutrition of the world organization, 2016 - 2025 (Decade of Nutrition) that was announced by the international organization General Assembly as a follow-up to the Second International Conference on Control Nutrition (CIN2) in 2014 Area Units Transfer a revived momentum for Nutrition with a transparent expectation of a reaffirmed leadership role for the United Nations agency and the World Health Organization in providing guidance based in the evidence on nutrition and healthy diets.

In 2014, the CIN2 developed actions to tackle all types of deficiency diseases (malnutrition, substance deficiency, overweight / obesity), in a similar way to diet-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs), objectives that then they were concerned about the SDGs in 2015. Partner governments supported the ICN2 Rome Declaration on Nutrition which is known as that Member States should implement ICN2 commitments through a collection of voluntary policy options and known methods within the Framework for Action.

The key to achieving these global nutrition goals and commitments is ensuring an adequate and healthy diet for infants and young people so that they grow into healthy and productive adults. The correct feeding area unit for infants and toddlers is vital for the survival of children and promoting healthy growth and development, with the primary 2 years of a child's life being significantly vital, as optimal nutrition during this era It reduces morbidity and mortality, reduces the possibility of noncommunicable diseases, and encourages general development. A key element of optimal nutrition during childhood and at the other extreme is adequate (but not excessive) intakes of vital micro- and macronutrients.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and therefore the World Health Organization (WHO) established the nutrient and mineral requirements for all age equipment in 2004. From this point, New insights have emerged that suggest that the needs of a few micronutrients may have to be updated, significantly for young people. Therefore, and in part to account for the planned change in the direction of the World Health Organization on complementary feeding, {fao | Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations | Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations | FAO | United Nations Agency | United Nations Agency} Nutrition and Food Systems Division (ESN) and therefore the area unit of the Department of Nutrition for Health and Development (NHD) of the World Health Organization, which establishes a group of knowledge on nutrient needs that can update the nutrient needs of young people from zero to thirty-six months, following the guidelines of the World Health Organization. development method and in line with article half a dozen of the Constitution of the United Nations agency.

Before starting the method for changing desires, the World Health Organization conducted an initial review of recent scientific literature on nutrient needs and compiled national dietary advice from all regions, containing elaborate data on nutrient needs. nutrients within the age group of interest. victimization The information obtained from this preparatory work, the United Nations agency and the World Health Organization could vary the nutrients to update. The next batch of nutrients to be updated is Iron, Vitamin A, Pteroylmonoglutamic Acid, and Mg.

Therefore, the area unit of FAO and the World Health Organization currently seeking specialists in the World Health Organization could serve within the group of experts who can change the needs of these nutrients in children from zero to thirty six months.
