A healthy mind resides in a healthy body.
Keeping that in mind, the members of the American Dietetic Association (ADA), now called the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, started the National Nutrition Week in March 1975. It was observed to raise public awareness about good nutrition and also to promote the profession of dietitians.
In India, the history of National Nutrition Week dates back to 1982 when the government launched a campaign in 1982 to educate individuals about the importance of nutrition and urged them to maintain a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.
This year, India spreads awareness of nutrition under the National Nutrition Week Theme 2021; ‘Feeding smart, right from the start’. The aim this year is to bring to the attention of the general public the benefits of a good nutritional diet, right from birth. A program has been launched by the central government to provide accurate information and raise awareness through seminars and workshops. People from different walks of life will participate in various sub-programs such as Bharat Poshan Premier Quiz, Good Food Talk Show, and Healthy Khayega India in the week-long campaign.
The Style Salad considers itself an ambassador of the initiative.
