Indeed,
we live in a world with rapidly changing elements, our environment,
food supply, population, and scientific knowledge. A realistic study of nutrition
in human health must focus on health promotion. A primary basis for
promoting health and preventing disease and must always be a wholesome
food supply for all persons and sound nutrition it provides.
It is always the goal of the government to have a happy, healthy community. One way to achieve this is through good nutrition.
This goal failed because of lack and knowledge and lack of information
in spite of so many government agencies involved in nutrition program.
Many families serve inadequate meals because of lack of knowledge as to what a proper diet consist of.
Some problems identified in the following areas:
- Rural and depressed areas - the problem is due to lack of quality food contributed to lack of knowledge and lack of nutrition information.
- In urban areas - most affluent families experienced inadequacies in terms of the amount and kind of food selection necessary to provide good nutrition contributed to improper or wrong choices of buying food.
When the problems are of both quality and quantity which contributed to lack of knowledge, lack of nutrition information, lack of money due to poverty, this problem refers to as hollow hunger.
When the problems is only quality which is contributed to lack of knowledge and lack of nutrition information, this problem refers to as hidden hunger.
Whatever
the problem, either hallow hunger or hidden hunger, your health as
health worker or as a nurse is indispensable. Also it is your role in
the community to give nutrition information.
