This Malnutrition Awareness Week, we’re highlighting the serious impacts of malnutrition, a condition that affects health, increases disease risk, delays recovery, and can lead to lasting health issues. While anyone can be affected, older adults, those with chronic health conditions, people with swallowing difficulties, and individuals facing social isolation or limited income are particularly vulnerable. Eating well is essential for health and well-being. That’s why we work closely with the Malnutrition Task Force to make sure our meals meet complex nutritional needs?while remaining delicious and appealing. Our specialised ranges, like?Mini Meals Extra?and?Texture Modified meals, offer smaller, nutrient-dense portions and modified textures tailored for people with reduced appetites or swallowing difficulties. At?apetito?| Wiltshire Farm Foods, we’re committed to making a real difference, providing nutritious meals to those who need them most. #UKMAW24 #MalnutritionAwarenessWeek?#MakingARealDifference

?? Malnutrition is a global concern affecting millions, robbing individuals of vital nutrients crucial for healthy bodily functions. Malnutrition can lead to severe health complications, impacting growth, immunity, and overall well-being. Symptoms vary widely, from physical manifestations like pale skin and thin hair to psychological effects such as changes in mood and anxiety. In many parts of the world, children suffer from chronic malnutrition, stunting growth and weakening immune systems. At Walisha we’re working to combat malnutrition through our Productivity Enhancement and Market Access Programs to increase availability of staple crops, like wheat. Let's work together to support initiatives that ensure access to nutritious food for all. Together, we can make strides towards a healthier, nourished future for everyone. #MalnutritionAwareness #GlobalHealth #Walisha #Agvocate #FoodSecurity ???? Source: #JohnsHopkins

?? Let's talk about MALNUTRITION! ?? Malnutrition isn't just about not having enough to eat—it's also about not getting the right nutrients. ????? It can affect anyone, anywhere, and takes different forms: 1?? **Undernutrition:** This occurs when the body doesn’t get enough nutrients. It can lead to stunted growth, weakened immunity, and even death. 2?? **Overnutrition:** Surprisingly, too much of the wrong kind of food can also cause malnutrition. Obesity and related health issues are examples of overnutrition. 3?? **Hidden Hunger:** Sometimes, people can have enough to eat but lack essential nutrients like iron or Vitamin A. This is known as "hidden hunger." Malnutrition affects physical and mental health, contributing to illness and affecting overall well-being. Let's raise awareness and work together to ensure everyone has access to nutritious food! ???? #EndMalnutrition #NutritionAwareness #HealthyEating

??????Keeping your loved ones well fed with nourishing, healthy food can keep them out of hospital ?????? A person suffering from malnutrition is likely to visit their GP twice as much as those who are well-nourished. They are also expected to experience longer hospital stays, because they won't be able to keep their strenght, which in turn means their bodies are less able to fight off pesky illnesses. Malnutrition can be caused by many things, from poor eating habits, lack of appetite caused by disease, physical disabilities, cognitive impairment, depression, isolation and even fear of falling ?? that list is longer than we might have originally thought, right?! What if I suspect my loved one isn't eating enough? ?? sometimes, eating little and often can be better than full meals ?? eat together ?? eat at set times if a routine helps your loved one ?? make food as soft as possible for loved ones with chewing or dental problems Got any questions or tips of your own?

Fighting Malnutrition for a Brighter Future Malnutrition occurs when a person doesn't get the necessary nutrients their body needs to grow and stay healthy. In our country, this issue is especially critical among infants and young children. Malnutrition can lead to severe health problems, stunted growth, weakened immunity, and even death. For infants and young children, proper nutrition is vital. Malnutrition during early childhood affects physical and cognitive development, making it difficult for children to learn, grow, and reach their full potential. It creates a cycle of poor health that can impact entire communities for generations. At Every Infant Matters (EIM), we are committed to fighting malnutrition, even in the most remote areas. Our dedicated team distributes essential vitamins and deworming tablets to children in need. We also educate families on the importance of proper nutrition and how to achieve it with the resources they have. Through our efforts, we aim to eradicate malnutrition and create a healthier future for all children. By ensuring every child receives the nutrition they need, we help them grow up strong, healthy, and ready to thrive. Together, we can break the cycle of malnutrition and build a brighter future for our children. #Malnutrition #ChildHealth #EveryInfantMatters #NutritionForAll #HealthyFuture Dr. Shelly Batra Radhika Batra Nikita Gupta

Health Transformative Coach Dr. Ikram explains what Malnutrition in children. Malnutrition means either you are feeding the child too much or feeding the wrong food or feeding less than the need. In Pakistan, believe me, 80 % of the children out of the total children (80 out of every 100) are not provided with balanced food. Either they are over-nourished or undernourished. And its first type is overnutrition which means a child has become obese or medically fat, becoming fatter and inflated. After this, is undernutrition such as "Stunting". In Pakistan, 10 million children are stunted. What is stunting? As per his/her age, child's height is lesser/smaller. A child's height continues to grow until the age of twenty two. #malnutrition #malnutritioninchildren #childdiet #kidsdiet #childhealth #kudshealth Dr. Ikram Diet & Weight Loss Clinic
