And your diet contributes significantly to your health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The National Nutrition Week, or more appropriately, Bharat Nutrition Week, dedicates the first seven days of September to creating awareness about \u2018Good Food and Nutrition.\u2019 The week brings together various organizations, institutions, and individuals involved at grassroots levels to address the country\u2019s malnutrition problems.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India is a country of extremes. On the one hand, where we have people who cannot even afford proper two meals a day, on another, we have the <em>elite<\/em> class that takes airs in eating outside and junk food quite so frequently. While the former cannot afford a healthy life, the latter ignores the same.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Valuing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/11-most-nutrient-dense-foods-on-the-planet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nutritional food<\/a> doesn\u2019t mean that each morsel you eat outside is unhealthy and carries a <a href=\"https:\/\/newsinhealth.nih.gov\/2017\/08\/what-are-your-health-risks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">health risk<\/a>. It is all about maintaining a balance. One must definitely munch at different places; after all, this is what outings, breaks, and parties are meant for. However, making this a daily routine is not in favor of your body and you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following a healthy and balanced diet pattern is of the essence here. Our diet also needs to change based on various factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"padding-left:94px\"><li>Age<\/li><li>Lifestyle<\/li><li>Gender<\/li><li>Physical activity<\/li><li>Dwelling area<\/li><li>Cultural and food customs<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, flexibility is the key \u2013 rigidity won\u2019t help!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Malnutrition problem<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is agonizing to see that over 30% of the world\u2019s malnourished children are living in India. The poor economic condition and lack of knowledge of the majority of our population lead to such distressing scenarios.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The life of an individual starts from a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.womans.org\/our-services\/mother-and-baby\/pregnancy-and-childbirth\/3rd-trimester\/fetus-in-utero\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">woman\u2019s womb<\/a>, and so does its diet and health. It is imperative for an expecting mother to eat and live healthily. However, in a low-income status that doesn\u2019t allow enough food (both quality and quantity) for a single person, women are expected to carry a baby within. Not just once, she (mis)uses her fragile body to give birth to multiple (feeble) lives. All this is absurd, yet a fact! And the legacy continues\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>What can we do?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While we may not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterloc.com\/blog\/happy-janmashtami\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">change the world,<\/a> we can do our bit to assist the government in its initiative. As a citizen, I believe we have a dual responsibility here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol style=\"padding-left:26px\"><li>Our responsibility towards ourselves and our families<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"padding-left:51px\">Let\u2019s start with appreciating how blessed we are that we can eat of our choice. We need to ensure our choice prioritizes health with taste to make most of this blessing. Including healthy food in our meals would help our families and us. We must <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterloc.com\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">change <\/a>and adjust our diet chart, considering our age, lifestyle, and work culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" style=\"padding-left:26px\"><li>Our responsibility toward the society<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"padding-left:51px\">We might overlook it, but each of us has a duty towards our society and nation at large. All of us can, in our own small and unique ways help and guide the <em>deprived<\/em> ones. This is the reason we co-exist in an ecosystem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"padding-left:51px\">Let\u2019s not go very far and start with maybe a person cleaning our house. We can educate them about good food \u2013 healthy food is not always pricey! There are many matters we can discuss with them and probably help them gain the awareness they need. Having said that, I think while doing so, we must see the situation and the way we talk to them. Pouncing on them won\u2019t help; instead, it will most likely shoo them off. We need to understand that they have grown with this culture and limited knowledge, that we won\u2019t be able to change instantly. However, our patience and persistence might help \u263a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another critical aspect before we end &#8211; about cleaning and sanitizing of our food, utensils, and cooking premises. Our utensils and contact surfaces should be clean and sanitized using &#8216;safe&#8217; sanitizers. This should ensure cleanliness, reduction (or elimination) in the number of micro-organisms and resulting infections, and safe food, free from any chemicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wishing you a healthy and nutritive <em>Septet September<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avani Raj Arora<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1st September to 7th September \u2013 a week where India celebrates Nutrition every year.&nbsp; We know Health is Wealth might be clich\u00e9, but it\u2019s true!
