The Abaseen Foundation Model maps the complex interrelationships between nutrition; cognition; education; poverty and health inequality.
Interventions at any point of the the Abaseen Foundation Model result in improvements:
Improved nutrition can improve educational performance, can increase prosperity, can improve health and can improve the body’s ability to absorb nutrients.
Improved education can improve nutrition, which improves health, which can improve prosperity, by avoiding loss of a breadwinner or the heavy costs of medical treatment.
Improvements in cognitive ability, through nutrition, education, employment or improved health can improve educational performance, entrepreneurial prosperity, and physical and mental health. Cognitive abilities can be improved through inexpensive interventions such as physical activities, games or changes in cooking methods to optimize the nutritional value of food. These types of interventions are within the control of the community. Cognitive development increases a person’s ability to benefit from education.
Optimism is inherent in the Abaseen Foundation Model, it is a cycle and a spiral and it doesn’t matter where you intervene, all routes lead to a positive outcome.
