National Nutrition Week (NNW) is observed in India from September 1 to 7.

 

National Nutrition Week (NNW) was established in 1974 by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS). Its
purpose is to help people make informed nutrition decisions and to encourage
nutritional education at local, state, national, and international levels. The
goal of National Nutrition Week is to highlight the importance of getting
adequate amounts of nutritious food in our diets. It encourages individuals and
organizations to get involved in making healthier choices.

 The USDA FNS provides
resources and tools for individuals and families who want to eat well. These
materials focus on three topics: eating well, staying fit, and being active.
They include several helpful publications including the Dietary Guidelines for
Americans, Healthy Eating Plate, MyPlate, and Cooking Matters.

1. What is National
Nutrition Week?

 National Nutrition
Week (NNW) is an annual event held each year in the United States. Its purpose
is to raise awareness about nutrition among consumers, healthcare
professionals, educators, food manufacturers, and policy makers. In addition,
NNW promotes the importance of good nutrition throughout the lifespan.

 2. Why should we care about nutrition?

 Nutrition is the sum
total of what we eat and drink and how well our bodies use those foods. A
healthy diet is the foundation of good health. Good nutrition provides us with
the building blocks of life - protein, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. These
building blocks are necessary to help maintain bodily function and prevent
disease.

 3. How does nutrition impact our lives?

 Good nutrition makes
us feel better physically and mentally. Healthy eating habits are associated
with lower risk for heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers, obesity, and
depression. Eating a balanced diet helps us stay fit and active.

 4. When do we need to pay attention to our
nutrition?

 We need to focus on
our nutrition at any time of day, especially when we're hungry. We should
consume nutritious foods every day, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

 5. What are some tips to improve my nutrition?

 The best way to
ensure you get enough nutrition is to make sure you eat a variety of fruits,
vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, fish, legumes, low-fat dairy products,
eggs, nuts, seeds, and oils. You might want to consider adding beans and soy
products to your diet. And don't forget to add plenty of water to your meals.
