🥦Nutrition Awareness Week
Being Overweight is on the Rise in Ethiopia !
📊From 2000 to 2020, the percentage of overweight(24.9<BMI<30 ) adults in Ethiopia more than doubled.
🔸 Women: From 3.1% to 8.5%
🔹 Men: From 0.8% to 2.4%
(Projected to rise even further)
⚠️ Why it matters:
Excess weight increases the risk of:
✅ High blood pressure
✅ Diabetes
✅ Heart disease
✅ Some cancers
✅ Lower life expectancy
🧠 Malnutrition isn’t just about hunger — it’s also about unhealthy diets.
Let’s promote smart, balanced nutrition and physical activity to protect our future. 💪🍎🥦

💥 Fun Friday 💥
Study stress = “brain fever”? 🧠🔥
Did you know❓
Back in the 1800s, students and scholars believed intense studying could cause “brain fever”, a vague diagnosis for headaches, anxiety, and exhaustion. Their “treatments” included leeches and cold baths! 😵💫🩸
Opening a leech shop right next to a medical school would’ve made someone instantly rich😂.
Thankfully, we’ve come a long way since then. Burnout is real and it’s definitely not cured by bloodletting.
💡 Here’s the real deal:
Burnout is tough, but it’s okay to take breaks, get enough sleep, and ask for help. Treat your mental health like your textbooks, with care and respect 💚📚

🥦Nutrition Awareness Week
🧬 Small Nutrients, Big impact! 🍽
🔅You don’t need to be starving to be malnourished.
Micronutrient deficiencies — happen when the body lacks essential vitamins and minerals, even if you're eating enough calories
🔍 Some Common Deficiencies
🔸 Iron – Leads to anemia, fatigue, poor concentration
🔸 Vitamin A – Causes night blindness, weak immunity
🔸 Iodine – Results in goiter, developmental delays
🔸 Zinc – Weakens immunity and wound healing
🔸 Folate – Increases birth defect risks in pregnancy
📊A Study conducted by EPHI🇪🇹revealed that:
-More than 1 in 4 school children are anemic.
-Iodine deficiency affects more than half of women of reproductive age.
-Over 35% of preschool children are zinc deficient
-1 in 3 children lacks essential vitamins & minerals.
- Only 26% of households use adequately iodized salt
🍲 Prevention is Possible!
✅ Eat a diverse, colorful diet
✅ Support nutrition education and food access
