All you need is...fish


"Why an iron fish can make you stronger" by Philippa Roxby, BBC Health

http://www.bbc.com/news/health-32749629

I was really impressed by this article: it is an innovation that has such a huge potential ! It would be easily implemented as many meals in rural SE Asia consist of stews, soups or, sadly, still need to boil water for safe consumption. Iron deficiency has enormous health consequences on the human body: stunted growth, mental retardation, fatigue and anemia. As the article mentions, iron deficiency is prevalent among young children- this can lead to permanent developmental damage. It makes me think of how many cases I may have seen without realizing it...

It is awesome to read such a success story and I hope it keeps progressing :)
