National Nutrition Week

Awareness seminar on National Nutrition Week Day was organized at Sri Meenakshi Govt.Arts College for Women(A), Madurai which was organized by Voice Trust, Suji HealthCare, Lions Club of Pandian and Madurai Apollo Hospital. Breakfast is often avoided in today’s environment. Eating more junk food and fast food has become a habit nowadays and loved by everyone.

Our traditional food has been forgotten. The restaurants usually sell parotas made out of maida. This is loved and consumed by today’s generation. The result is likely to be cardiovascular problems, High Blood pressure, Kidney failure and diabetes. If this continues we will lose a healthy India.The main emphasis was to switch to the traditional foods and reduce the diseases. Around 500 students participated and benefitted from this programme.

Indian Programmes Related to Anaemia

In 2018, the government of India launched Anaemia Mukt Bharat (AMB) as part of the Intensified National Iron Plus Initiative (NIPI) Program for accelerating the annual rate of decline of anaemia from one to three percentage points.
The target groups for AMB are Children (6-59 months, 5-9 years),Adolescent Girls & Boys (10-19 years), Women of Reproductive Age (15-49 years), Pregnant Women and Lactating Mothers.
The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has also launched the Weekly Iron and Folic Acid Supplementation (WIFS) Programme to meet the challenge of high prevalence and incidence of anaemia amongst adolescent girls and boys.
Other programmes introduced include Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS), National Nutritional Anemia Control Program (NNACP), etc to combat anemia.

Anaemia

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines anaemia as a condition in which the number of red blood cells or their oxygen-carrying capacity is insufficient to meet physiological needs.
Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anaemia, although other conditions, such as folate, vitamin B12 and vitamin A deficiencies, chronic inflammation, parasitic infections, and inherited disorders can all cause anaemia.
In its severe form, it is associated with fatigue, weakness, dizziness and drowsiness. Pregnant women and children are particularly vulnerable.
