Introduction
We save many people from "invisible starvation"
There are two kinds of starvation, acute malnutrition and chronic malnutrition
・Acute malnutrition
Acute malnutrition tends to be prone to conflict, disasters, etc, and food and weight are lost at once so that weight and muscle mass are decreasing.
Malnutritions of this type is malnutrition of an apparently easy-to-understand type such as being thin.
・Chronic malnutrition
Chronic malnutrition is also referred to as "invisible starvation" and refers to a state in which the body height is low with respect to age, the immunity is low, and the volume of the brain is small due to lack of intake of micronutrients such as proteins and vitamins and minerals .
In developing countries, the proportion of people with this chronic malnutrition will reach 1 in 3 people.The causes are as follows.
· Inadequate access to food and food
· Not to take healthy eating without concern for food from lack of knowledge
· There is no money to buy adequate food, and for the time being, to eat a lot of staple food to fill the stomach, it becomes a diet devoted to carbohydrates
In addition , as one of the policies of each country, We thought first of all to reduce acute malnutrition, so it is considered as one of the causes that correspondence of chronic malnutrition has been postponed inevitably.
Looking at the short stature ratio of children under 5 years old, it is an indicator of chronic malnutrition, the average of developing countries is 32% compared with developed countries.
We wanted to solve this problem, we wanted to reduce chronic malnutrition, I thought that we want children of the world to spend even more healthy days, devised this project.
