Preventive behaviors for a healthy family
Increase iron intake by:- Eating iron rich vegetables like
cowpeas, spinach, beans, pulses, pumpkin seeds and other greens.
Eat meat like beef, liver, goat or chicken
Eat iron helpers such as guavas, oranges, lemon or little meat to help your body use the iron
Avoid eating iron blockers like tea, coffee or milk an hour before and after eating an iron rich meal

Next module is about Protein Energy Malnutrition.
End of part one!
Congratulations! You now know the four common Micro Nutrient Deficiency Diseases!
![Page 45: Common Nutrient Deficiency Diseases among U nder-five Children](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56815e72550346895dccf50d/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
There are two common conditions under protein
energy malnutrition.
Choose the condition you want to learn first from the two above.
Protein Energy Malnutrition
Kwashiorkor Marasmus
![Page 46: Common Nutrient Deficiency Diseases among U nder-five Children](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56815e72550346895dccf50d/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Kwashiorkor
![Page 47: Common Nutrient Deficiency Diseases among U nder-five Children](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56815e72550346895dccf50d/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Caused by a severe deficiency of protein in diets
that contain calories. Most common in areas where there is Famine Limited food supply Low levels of education( when people do not
understand how to eat a proper diet) Most common in very poor countries
Kwashiorkor
![Page 48: Common Nutrient Deficiency Diseases among U nder-five Children](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56815e72550346895dccf50d/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Shrinking muscle mass Diarrhea Fatigue Hair changes and loss Large belly that sticks out Swelling (Edema which hides muscle loss most
of the times Illnesses due to a weakened immune system
Signs and symptoms
![Page 49: Common Nutrient Deficiency Diseases among U nder-five Children](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56815e72550346895dccf50d/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Make sure the diet contains several sources of
complete proteins Get more calories and proteins with early
treatment by: Making sure that the diet has enough
carbohydrates, fats (at least 10% of total calories), & protein (12% of total calories)
Reintroduce food slowly to the patient
Prevention & Treatment of Kwashiorkor

1. Mention two signs of someone with
Kwashiorkora. They have a large belly that sticks out and sw

Caused by severe deficiency of protein & calories
and affects infants and young children
Develops in children between 6 months and 1year in children who have been weaned from breast milk or who suffer from weakening conditions like diarrhea
Marasmus

Just like in Kwashiorkor Get early treatment and more calories
and proteins by making sure that your diet has enough carbohydrates, fats (at least 10% of total calories), & protein (12% of total calories)
Prevention
