To remain fit and healthy, you need a balanced diet including essential vitamins and minerals. But what if your diet consists mainly of staples like rice, bread, or corn because other foods are not available or affordable? If so, you will likely develop "hidden hunger," a deficiency in essential micronutrients.
為了保持健康強壯,你需要含有基本維生素和礦物質的均衡飲食。但要是你的飲食主要以米、麵包或玉米那些主食所組成,因為其它食物難以取得或負擔時該怎麼辦呢?如果是這樣,你很可能會得到「隱性飢餓」,一種基本微營養素缺乏症狀。
Although often invisible, hidden hunger negatively impacts health and development, and ultimately, economic well-being. About one-third of the world's population suffers from hidden hunger, mostly in developing countries. This is more than the population of Europe, the Americas, and Australia combined.
儘管常常看不見,隱性飢餓會對健康和發育造成負面影響,最終還會影響經濟安全。大約有三分之一的世界人口受隱性飢餓所苦,大多位在發展中國家。這比歐洲、美洲以及澳洲加起來的人口數還多。
Hidden hunger's impact starts early. Nutritional deficiencies during the first 1,000 days, between the start of a mother's pregnancy and the child's second birthday, impede the child's ability to properly grow, learn, and ultimately reach his or her full potential. It can be devastating for long-term health, and ultimately, society's growth and prosperity.
隱性飢餓的影響很早就發生。頭一千天內的營養缺乏,母親孕期開始到小孩兩歲生日間的一千天,營養缺乏會阻礙孩童正常生長、學習、最後發揮他或她完全潛能的能力。這對長期健康會造成嚴重後果,最後甚至危及社會成長及繁榮。
Fortunately, the world is fighting hidden hunger. And as part of this effort, DSM's Nutrition Improvement Program is an experienced and reliable partner, driven by our Quality for Life promise. We work with international and local partners, and develop safe, affordable, and nutritious products. They are of the highest quality and tailored to the needs of people in the developing world.
幸好,全世界正在打擊隱性飢餓。作為打擊隱性飢餓的一份子,DSM 的營養改善計畫是有經驗且可靠的夥伴,動力來自我們對「品質生活」的承諾。我們與國際和當地夥伴攜手,研發出可靠、可負擔且營養豐富的產品。這些產品有最優良的品質,且針對發展中國家人民的需求量身打造。
An example of the many successful solutions provided by DSM is our micronutrient powders. Sprinkled over a meal, these powders are widely accepted because they are easy to use and do not change the food's color or taste. Studies show that these micronutrient powders are effective. We can also fortify both staples and processed foods, such as snacks and beverages. In addition, for people with specific nutritional needs, we developed tailor-made solutions, such as micronutrient blends used in therapeutic foods and dietary supplements.
DSM 所提供許多成功解方的例證之一是我們的微營養素粉。灑在餐點上,這些營養素粉廣泛被接受,因為它們使用容易且不會改變食物的顏色或風味。研究顯示這些微營養素粉能產生效果。 我們還可以增加日常主食及加工食品的營養價值,例如點心和飲料。此外,對有特別營養需求的人們,我們發展出客製化解決方案,例如用在醫療食品及營養補給品中的微營養素混合劑。
Leading global economists suggest that improving nutrition is the best investment that can be made in global health and development. We want a healthier life and brighter future for everybody. Together we can end hidden hunger.
全球傑出經濟學家們提出,改善營養,就是對全球健康和發展所能做出的最棒投資。我們想要所有人擁有更健康的生活以及更美好的未來。我們能齊心替隱性飢餓畫下句點。
