Indigenous plants help fight malnutrition in Guatemala

A children's clinic in Guatemala is bringing back indigenous plants to help fight chronic malnutrition in the country.

With rising food prices, most children are bought up on just tortilla and beans, lacking essential vitamins and minerals.

Staff at Bethania Clinic, supported by Christian Aid, are teaching mothers how to grow and cook nutritious indigenous plants.

The Health Show is broadcast on BBC World News on Saturdays at 1010 and 2010 GMT and on Sundays at 0710 and 2310 GMT. The programme is supported by the Gates Foundation.
