Food Safety and Nutrition of Combatants during the Holy Defense

The comprehensive defense of the sacred land of the Islamic Republic by combatants and the general public against the Ba'athist enemy and its arrogant supporters during the years of the Sacred Defense (1980-1988) not only led to the expulsion of the enemy from our beloved country but also proved to the world that the powerful Islamic Republic of Iran will defend itself powerfully against any aggression and make its enemies regretful. It is evident that combatants and the people must always be prepared to defend their honor and dignity. This requires physical, psychological, spiritual, and social readiness. In this regard, nutrition not only contributes to the physical readiness of combatants and the people but also, in itself, increases morale and spiritual and social capital. This article addresses the topic of nutrition and food hygiene for combatants during the 8 years of the imposed war.
