S1/Ep.11 "Early Years, Nutrition & chronic disease of lifestyle with Teresa Wilson"

During the first 6 years of life nutrition and health are vital elements to ensure optimal development. Previous research has shown the prevalence and impact of non-communicable diseases in underprivileged communities in South Africa. However, there is limited research on the impact of non-communicable diseases in caregivers raising children. Living with a non-
communicable disease presented to have a huge influence on parenting.

Living in an underprivileged community has been found to have an influence on the management of non-communicable disease as well as raising a child aged 0-6 years old.

Teresa Wilson from Department of Health & Nelson Mandela University shares her project exploring the link between nutrition and diseases of lifestyle.
