Suggestion and Recommendation

SUGGESTIONS:
Be knowIedgeabIe about nutrition!
Many of our people have been victims of malnutrition when in fact; they should not be a
victim if they only know the proper way of rendering nutrition to themselves, but
somehow because of ignorance they become the victim of their own weakness.
Nevertheless, it has to be corrected once and for all because if our people have the
proper knowledge about nutrition, even the cheapest food in town can be transformed in
a well balance diet which would be enough to supply the needs of the family. Nutritional
Education, relevant to the needs reaching to the homes and capable of being applied in
family food patterns is the ultimate road to good nutrition. t is therefore a means rather
than an end. t should be practical and applied, adapted to economic and agricultural
possibilities and in harmony with the socio cultural setting.
