ABSTRACT
COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent rigid social distancing measures implemented, including school closures, have heavily impacted children's and adolescents' psychosocial wellbeing, and their mental health problems significantly increased. However, child and adolescent mental health were already a serious problem before the Pandemic all over the world. COVID-19 is not just a pandemic, it is a syndemic and mentally or socially disadvantaged children and adolescents are the most affected. Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and previous mental health issues are an additional worsening condition. Even though many countries have responded with decisive efforts to scale-up mental health services, a more integrated and community-based approach to mental health is required. EAP and ECPCP makes recommendations to all the stakeholders to take action to promote, protect and care for the mental health of a generation.
ABSTRACT
Historically, humans are aware of the positive potential of different herbs and spices to prevent pathogenic and spoilage microflora. Herbal foods are valued for their antimicrobial, antioxidant, nutritional, and medicinal properties. Due to the current corona pandemic, people worldwide have become more conscious about their health. Herbs and spices have been found to be beneficial to one's health. Milk is a highly perishable commodity. Many dairy products deteriorate within days of their production. To ensure that processed dairy products remain safe and uncontaminated, the use of the natural preservative is necessary;therefore, herbs and spices added in dairy products can give value-added products with prolonged shelf life. © 2022 by the authors.
