The report notes that too little food is not the only cause of poor nutrition. Many children who live in homes with plenty of food suffer for other reasons. For example, the study says that mothers often fail to give their newly born babies their first breast milk. This milk-like substance is called colostrums(初乳). It is full of nutrients that improve a baby's ability to fight infections and disease.
The study also links malnutrition(营养不良) to economic growth in poor countries. A lack of nutrition in early childhood can cost developing nations up to three percent of their yearly earnings. Many of these same countries have economies that are growing at a rate of two to three percent yearly. The study suggests that poor countries could possibly double their economic growth if they improved nutrition.
Africa and South Asia are affected the most by poor nutrition. The study says about half of all children in India do not get enough good food. The World Bank study also notes that rates of malnutrition in South Asia are almost double those in central and southern Africa. Other parts of the world are also severely affected, including Indonesia, Uzbekistan, Yemen, Guatemala and Peru.
The study recommends that developing countries change their policies to deal with malnutrition. Instead of directly providing food, the study suggests educational programs in health and nutrition for mothers with young babies. It also recommends cleaner living conditions mad improvements in health care.
World Bank nutrition specialist Meera Shekar said the period of life between pregnancy and two years is extremely important. Governments with limited resources should take direct action to improve nutrition for children during this period.
What's the main topic of the passage?
A.Poor nutrition in developing countries.
B.World Bank research.
C.Economic growth rate.
D.Ways to fight malnutrition in developed countries.

Salt
The government watchdog, The Food Standards Agency, has announced targets for reducing salt in a range of food products.
The move is designed to cut average daily salt intake in the diet, as too much salt is linked to high blood pressure, which can increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
What should we do?
Dr. Wynnie Chan, a nutrition scientist for the British Nutrition Foundation, says that everybody should look to reduce the amount of salt in their diet.
"It would have a significant effect on those people who need to reduce their salt levels because they are susceptible to hypertension, but it would also do no harm for the whole population to reduce its salt intake,"she said. Dr. Chan said there were four main ways to reduce salt intake:
Stop adding table salt to food once it is served;
Choose items with a reduced sodium content;
Carefully monitor the salt content of processed food;
Eat more fruit and vegetables—they contain potassium which balances the effect of salt on the body.
Reading food labels can be confusing as they often give the sodium, rather than the salt content of food. To calculate the amount of salt in a product, multiply the sodium content by two-and-a-half times.
What is the target of the Food Standards Agencys announcement?
A.Reducing fat in your diet.
B.Increasing protein in your diet.
C.Increasing sodium content in your diet.
D.Reducing salt in your diet.
