Clean and healthy lifestyle (PHBS) is the most significant way to prevent stunting

"Clean and healthy lifestyle (PHBS) is the most significant way to prevent stunting," conveyed Asri Yunita, Thousand Islands Health Sub-department's Nutrition Program Management, Tuesday (8/27).

In order to prevent stunting, she continued, parents should be careful in child's first thousand days starting from the parenting method, eating habits, and sanitation. Most importantly, people should change their lifestyle to be healthier and more hygienic in order to prevent stunting.

"We want PKK cadres to continue educating Posyandu cadres and residents who are pregnant or having baby in their neighborhood about this lesson," she added.

Thousand Islands Regency, Husein Murad also hopes stunting counseling program can be provided directly for Thousand Islands residents.
