THE National Food and Nutrition Commission says inadequate access to better, safe and adequate nutritious food by people living with HIV/AIDS has continued to be a hindering factor to improved health for people living with HIV/AIDS.
The commission has observed that despite a reduction in the number of HIV/AIDS infection and deaths in general, there is still a rise in new infections among young people and that most of the infected people are not consuming a healthy and balanced diet.
In a press statement availed to ZANIS in Lusaka today by the Commission Communications Unit, the Commission has called on people living with HIV/AIDS and the general public to make use of the locally available nutritious indigenous foods, as opposed to exotic foods which tend to be expensive.
“Although there is a reduction in the number of HIV infections and deaths in general, HIV infections have continued to rise among young people. According to the Zambia Demographic Health Survey of 2018, Zambia has a generalized HIV percentage of 11.1% with women being more infected at 14.2%.
However, one hindering factor to improved health for people living with HIV/AIDS is inequitable access to better safe adequate nutritious foods. Partly, the challenge could be that some local communities prefer exotic foods which are expensive, compared to locally available nutritious indigenous foods” the commission stated.
The commission has warned that poor nutrition contributes to poor health among people living with HIV/AIDS and consequently leads to high mortality cases and consequently high levels of malnutrition in HIV positive children and lactating women fuels deterioration of their health and render ART medication ineffective.
“Arising from that, the National Food and Nutrition Commission is encouraging citizens to consume plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean protein foods such as lean beef, fish, eggs, beans, nuts, whole grain foods, vitamin A and carotenes in form of liver, milk, pawpaw, carrots, mangoes, green peppers.
Communities are also encouraged to feed on foods that are rich in vitamin B such as potatoes, water melons, avocado, as well as vitamin C rich foods, which include lemons, oranges and iron rich foods to strengthen the immune system.
Particularly in this rain season, many communities can easily access most of the green vegetables such as cibwabwa, bondwe and other vegetables as well as some available local fruits like mangoes, Masuku, and Mfungo” read part of the statement.
This year’s World AIDS Day is being observed tomorrow the December 1, 2021, under the theme “end inequalities, end AIDS, end the pandemic, the National Food”.
