Nutritional deficiency in a developing county: Do concepts of autonomy, advocacy, fidelity, beneficence, apply to your topic?
Nutrition plays an important role in our life, we gain nutrition from the food we eat such as protein, vitamins etc. Nutrients acts as a body building, it helps in development of brain, body and maintaining the functional abilities of life. There are several factors which affects the nitrinutr deficiency in developing countries such as poverty, lack of purchasing power and household food etc. Iron deficiency is leading cause of anemia where as zinc deficiency cause in children stunted congnitive development and weakened immune system. Vitamin A deficiency lead to night blindness.
In the developing countries, the rich people should always consider the poor people who still don't have the regular meals to eat. Many of the foods get wasted in parties etc, we should take initiative to protect the people below the poverty line. Many NGO's and many firms are doing better jobs to look after these needs but still unless we will not lend our hand to solve this problem, nothing can be achieved.
