About Nutrition360 |
Nutrition360 is an initiative of GIST Forum USA, dedicated to promoting holistic health, nutrition awareness, and sustainable well-being. Through this platform, we aim to provide resources, events, and collaborative opportunities that empower individuals and communities to make informed choices for healthier living. |
Nutrition360 उत्तम आहार उत्तम विचार (Uttam Aahaar Uttam Vichaar) is a national-level campaign dedicated to spread nutritional awareness and to renew the focus on nutritionally balanced diets. The initiative aims to bring about a nationwide movement that will awaken the people of the country to value the diverse traditional diet, and our rich culinary heritage, and be a beacon of hope for nutritional awareness on a global scale. Though the initiative has been initially launched in the country to build a healthy India, it sets a roadmap for the entire world to follow in India’s footsteps as a “विश्वगुरु or global leader” in nutrition to reduce the burden of chronic diseases. |
Nutrition360: Need of the Hour |
| The popular saying "You are what you eat" clearly signifies the various facets and importance of nutrition and right food choices to ensure good health and immunity. Proper nutrition is at the heart of many things in our lives. A healthy balanced diet is essential throughout our life starting from our genesis till the last breath. Starting from as early as possible, providing healthy food to a pregnant woman till the child is born, and till it enters old age, the food that we eat helps us build good nutritional habits. Such good habits play a crucial role in the overall holistic growth and development of an individual. Optimum nutrition holds the key to many aspects of physical health and well-being in addition to societal challenges. It ensures the following:
|
Maintains a healthy immune system
Reduces the risk of chronic diseases
A proper nutritional diet increases life span
Positive impact on one's mental healthNutrition also affects the overall development of the entire nation. Poor diet is deficit in nutritive value which will negatively impact the health of both the child and adult. It will result in less productivity, which will negatively affect the economy at a macro-level, thereby, affecting the development of the entire nation. Attaining ecologically sustainable nutrition for human development is one of the key challenges still faced by the country.
To address all these critical problems, a nation-wide movement like "Nutrition360" is truly the need of the hour. We need to renew our focus on nutritionally balanced diets – अच्छा पोषण, स्वस्थ जीवन – replete with locally sourced fruits and vegetables. The initiative focuses on training teachers and volunteers about the benefits of positive nutrition so that it reaches the masses. It also focuses on providing solutions to achieve the goal of balanced nutrition. Keeping with the theme of "Atmanirbhar Bharat", Nutrition360 aims to bring together the local talent and traditional knowledge to provide customised solutions to build a healthier nation by improving human potential. |
