Addressing micronutrient deficiencies:

Interventions aimed at improving the micronutrient status of children can have a positive impact not only on their growth and health but on their degree of educational achievement and their productivity as adults (Micronutrient Initiative & UNICEF,). e) Calcium is low, in some children meals so, an increased intake of dairy products and dietary calcium significantly increases their bone- mineral.f) In rural South Africa, primary school children were given biscuits fortified with beta-carotene, iron, and iodine. c) Supplementation of a child's diet with milk and other dairy products.

Addressing micronutrient deficiencies:

Numerous interventions that rely on

a) Fortified foods have been tested using school-based feeding programmers as a vehicle.

b) Foods that are naturally rich in nutrients are, of course, another option. For example, orange-fleshed sweet potato a staple food in many developing countries - is rich in beta-carotene. When given as part of school meals, it was well accepted by primary school children and improved their vitamin A status.

c) Supplementation of a child's diet with milk and other dairy products.

d) Addition of cow's milk to the diet of stunted children improves their linear growth, which leads in turn to a decline in morbidity.

e) Calcium is low, in some children meals so, an increased intake of dairy products and dietary calcium significantly increases their bone- mineral.

f) In rural South Africa, primary school children were given biscuits fortified with beta-carotene, iron, and iodine.
