Nearly 30% of the global nutrition problem people! Nutrition and health industry has a long way to go

The world is going through a difficult process of chronic disease blowout The prevention and control of chronic disease only depends on the change of lifestyle The most important change is the optimization of diet structure, that is, nutrition balance At present, one of the main ways to solve the problem of nutrition imbalance is to take nutrition and health products scientifically The slow disease blowout provides the driving force for the development of nutrition and health industry Almost every country in the world has a serious nutritional problem, which is caused by people's overeating or lack of food, according to a recent study According to reports, researchers in 140 countries for people's health survey, published this month 4, "global nutrition report." According to the report, this issue "hinders the overall development of human beings", and calls on all parties to adjust their approaches to this global health threat Although the global malnutrition rate has declined, the rate of decline is not fast enough to meet the internationally agreed goal of achieving sustainable development by 2030 and eliminating all forms of malnutrition, the report said According to the report, there are more than 155 million children under five years old in the world who are stunted due to lack of nutrition, of which 52 million children do not reach the weight corresponding to their body height At the same time, overeating carries a heavy toll on people of all ages around the world According to figures, two billion of the world's seven billion people are now overweight or obese In North America, a third of men and women are obese Worldwide, at least 41 million children under the age of five are overweight, and 10 million in Africa alone "Historically, maternal anaemia and child malnutrition have been different from obesity and noncommunicable diseases," said Jessica fanzo, a professor at Johns Hopkins University Today's reality is that these two issues are interlinked That's why governments have to solve the problem as a whole " The report found that in 2015, nutrition grants increased by only 2% to US $867 million (S $1180 million), and that spending on them must increase significantly The report calls for an increase in global investment in nutrition to $70 billion over a decade It is understood that the global nutrition report is an independent annual analysis report on the nutritional status of the world population It follows up on the nutritional status of pregnant women, infants and young children as well as chronic diet related diseases reported by member countries of the World Health Organization According to the global nutrition report, there are over 155 million children under the age of five who are stunted due to lack of nutrition Among them, 52 million children did not reach the weight corresponding to body height Meanwhile, two billion of the world's seven billion people are now overweight or obese.
