National Nutrition Week 01st Sep to 07th Sep

[Deepak Kiran]

In India, the National Nutrition Week is observed every year from September 1 to September 7 to raise public awareness about nutrition and healthy eating habits. The week is observed to make people understand the importance of nutritional and adaptive eating habits so that they can maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Food and nutrition are mandatory for overall physical and mental health and ever since the pandemic has wreaked havoc, awareness about healthy food and nutrition has started to spread in every nook and corner. If you need an active life with growth and development, then a balanced diet is a must.

During the National Nutrition Week, the government takes up various initiatives to spread awareness about the right nutrition. A healthy mind resides in a healthy body and for that, we must take the adequate amount of nutrients such as proteins and vitamins in our daily diet.

The government of India launched 'POSHAN Abhiyan' in 2018 to educate people about health and nutrition as they play a significant role in overall human development and social infrastructure.
