Synopsis

Nutrition is critical to the physical, mental, behavioral and social development of children. In addition to nutrition, balanced diet and exercise form the foundation of children's healthy development, strong growth and long-term wellbeing. Infants require breastfeeding as well as a variety of nutritious foods to grow and stay healthy, including vegetables and fruits, fish, eggs, meat, grains, and pulses.

It maintains physical fitness and boosts mental health by reducing the signs of pain, depression, loneliness and anxiety. Furthermore, academic performance, energy levels, concentration and sleep quality can all be enhanced by physical activity and exercise.
