Vegetables are Effective and Healthy Option to Deal With Malnutrition शाकाहारी जीवन में सब्ज़ियों एवं फलों का विशेष महत्त्व है । हमारे भोजन को पौष्टिक तथा संतुलित बनाने में सब्ज़ियों का विशेष योगदान है । अगर भोजन पौष्टिक और संतुलित नहीं है तो यह कुपोषण को जन्म दे सकता है। सब्ज़ियों से हमें पौष्टिक तत्व जैसे रेशा, कार्बोहाइड्रेट, प्रोटीन, खनिज लवण और विटामिन्स मिलते है। साथ ही इनमें ज्यादा मात्रा में एंटीऑक्सीडेंट तथा ऐसे  रसायन तत्व भी  पाए जाते है जो हमें रोगो से बचाते है । इसलिए सब्ज़ियों को रक्षात्मक आहार भी कहा जाता है । असुंतलित भोजन, वह स्थिति है जिसमें पोषक तत्वों की अधिकता, कमी अथवा  गलत अनुपात में  उपस्थिति  कुपोषण को आमंत्रित करती  है । सन १९९१  की तुलना में ५० फ़ीसदी की सकल घरेलु उत्पाद  में वृद्धि होने के बावजूद भी आज हमारे देश में विश्व के लगभग एक तिहाई कुपोषित बच्चे निवास करते है । इनमें से भी आधे बच्चे ३ वर्ष की आयु से कम जो अल्प वज़नी है । एक सर्वे के अनुसार विश्व में कुल ५ वर्ष से कम उम्र के बच्चों की मृत्यु में आधे (३ मिलियन) बच्चे कुपोषण की वजह से  मरते है । ग्लोबल हंगर इंडेक्स-२०१६ के अनुसार भारत कुपोषण के कारण विश्व में सर्वाधिक भूख वाले २५ देशों की श्रेणी में गिना...

The diversified and highly nutritive vegetables are of great importance in alleviating malnutrition. The scientific community is ready to play its role in battling malnutrition and hunger, but unless the political resolve can be found to support the causes of both food and nutritional security together, it is unlikely that the Millennium Development Goals will be achieved in a timely fashion. Presently the two major concerns of the developing countries are to overcome hunger and malnutrition. Therefore, the food security and nutritional security are the important issues in national development programmes. According to latest report of Ministry of Statistics and Programme implementation (2012), 48 % of the countries children under the age of five years are stunted, which indicates that half of the India’s children are chronically malnourished.
