Liebe Fachpolitikerinnen und -politiker! In der #Ernährungspolitik gibt es sehr viele, drängende Herausforderungen.
Als Grundlage für die Verhandlungen zur #Ampelkoalition deshalb hier eine kleine To-do-Liste (#ErnährungTop20, nicht nach Prioritäten geordnet):
1. Einordnung des Ressorts „Ernährung“ in das Gesundheitsministerium (statt in das Landwirtschaftsministerium)
2. beitragsfreie Kita- und Schulverpflegung; verpflichtende Qualitätsstandards für Kita- und Schulverpflegung; qualitätsgesicherte Ernährungsbildung in Schulen

1/14 Dear Richard, “all we have is silence” equally applies to deadly interplay b/ #COVID19 pandemic + #NCDs epidemic. #PLWNCDs are at heightened risk of becoming severely ill or dying from #C19. Health systems are being overwhelmed with PLWNCDs becoming acutely ill.
2/14 Our recent survey shows massive disruptions in access to #NCDs services, which will result in upsurge of illness and deaths from NCDs (projections forthcoming) which failing health systems are unlikely to be able to manage.

3/14 In 2000, #WHA53 recognized that “long-term needs of #PLWNCDs are rarely dealt with”. Since then, 200 million PLWNCDs aged 30-70 have died, majority living in #LMIC. Most deaths could have been avoided or delayed.

People often ask if they should take anything specific to boost immunity; Healthy life style is the best way to build the immunity ; many simple things we all can do not only to fight #COVID19 also to prevent and control #NCD which increase the risk of severe illness and death
1. Eat 4-5 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables , protein rich diet , whole grains and moderate amount of dairy products
2. Do 150 minutes of moderate physical activity of your choice in a week - brisk walking , yoga , home work out - outdoor physical activity is safe but avoid groups and keep distance

#WelspunCorp- Soon out of the Woods

#CMP - 60
#MarketCap - 1,565 cr
#Industry - Pipes & Plates
Biggest #COVID19 casualty

Post Jan2020, the #crudeoil prices collapsed 60-70%. The company has major dependence on global oil & gas players for its order book.
However, we feel Welspun Corp’s strong cash & investment position in the #balancesheet and very low #longtermdebt will help the company withstand the current turmoil and bounce back stronger.
