Fuel for the Future

Introduction: National Nutrition Week 2023 is observed between 1st to 7th September every year. Poshan or nutrition is the study of how the body uses all the essential nutrients in food to fuel and nourish itself. An individual’s nutrition, or poshan, starts right from the day they are born and lasts till they live.

Theme: The theme of the 2023 National Nutrition Month campaign is “Fuel for the Future” which encourages consumers to make healthful choices to maintain their health throughout their life. To generate awareness among the general public about the significance of healthy eating practices and proper nutrition for upholding a nourishing lifestyle.

Why do we celebrate National Nutrition Week? The main idea behind establishing the National Nutrition Week is to educate people about the importance of nutrition. National Nutrition Week is celebrated from 1st to 7th September, to highlight the importance of having a balanced nutrition diet.
