Monday, January 23, 2017
Havana.- The Cuban nutritional strategy includes actions to strengthen food security and improve the quality of life of the population.
According to specialized sources, the island is the country with the lowest prevalence of low birth weight (5.3 percent) in the region.
Likewise, exclusive breastfeeding, recommended in the first six months of life, has shown increases from 26.4 percent in 2006 to 48.6 percent in the period 2010-2011.
The island's plan in this area also includes fortification and enrichment of food and the preparation of food guides to promote a nutritional education.
The supply of healthy products is supported by the Urban and Suburban Agriculture Program, where production adapts to consumers in the immediate environment.
