  Provide Reproductive Health Education

  Reproductive health education and services, especially sex and family planning education for young people, is critical to avoid sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancies and sexual abuse. Adolescents should be warned about unprotected sex, sexual coercion, infections, and unsafe abortions.

  
  

  From an early age girls should be empowered to delay marriage and pregnancy until they are physically and emotionally mature, while boys and men need to be encouraged to be sexually responsible and treat women as equal partners. (Source: Reuters)

  Benefits
  Meat, particularly red meat, contains iron which strengthens the blood, builds muscles and brain, and helps the body work properly. Proteins and vitamins in meat build cells, body fluids and the immune system.
  Risks
  Saturated fats in meat can clog blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. They also increase levels of ‘bad’ cholesterol which ups the risk of heart disease. Saturated fats also tend to encourage weight gain, a risk factor for diabetes. (Source: Reuters)
