Nutritionist in the house

What kind of food is best for my children? How to make sure they have the best nutrition? Should they take supplements? We get many questions such as these in our daily interaction with parents.

Indeed, nutrition is a big part of parenting and child healthcare. In order to make sure we answer your questions on nutrition in the best way possible, we are very proud to announce that we now have a NUTRITIONIST (pakar nutrisi/ pegawai sains pemakanan) to join the team of contributors for DoktorBudak.com.

DoktorBudak’s nutritionist is Ms. Kimberly Wong Yuin Y’ng. She obtained her bachelor and masters degree in nutrition from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia ( BSc Nutrition (Hon) (UKM), Master of Health Science (Nutrition) (UKM) ) and is currently serving as a Community Nutritionist at a Government Maternal and Child Clinic.

She has been working as a community nutritionist in Sabah for 4 years now with experience in chronic disease management in her previous employment. As a community nutritionist, she monitors the growth of children and their nutritional status and growth through periodic assessment and surveillance. She does public talks on nutrition and counselling sessions with parents if their child is malnourished, be it under-nourished, or over-nourished. She also runs a nutrition rehabilitative program for underweight children below age of six, and manage interventions in schools for overweight children.

Her main interest is in early childhood nutrition. Research has shown that children who were malnourished in their early years, have higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease when they are adults.

Together with Ms. Kimberly Wong, we hope to come up with excellent articles on nutrition for children.
