Purpose of National Nutrition Day:
The main objective of celebrating National Nutrition Day is to create awareness about the importance of proper nutrition for pregnant women, infants, and children. Adequate nutrition and a balanced diet help ensure good health for both mother and child.

Importance of Nutrition for Pregnant Women:
If the mother maintains good health during pregnancy, the child will also be healthy. It is essential to consume iron, calcium, protein, fruits, and dairy products. Timely intake of nutritious food and sufficient water is also necessary.

Importance of Nutrition for Children:
Proper food is crucial for the growth of children. Protein-rich rice, pulses, milk, eggs, fruits, and vegetables should be included in their daily meals. Beyond just filling hunger, nutritious food supports the physical and mental development of children. If mothers and children consume such a balanced diet, their overall health, immunity, and future growth will improve significantly.
