Nutrition is the sum total of the processes involved in the intake and
utilization of food substance by living organisms including ingestion,
digestion, transport and metabolism of nutrients found in food.
Good food is important for good health. Children who are well fed during
the first two years of life are more likely to stay healthy for the rest of
their childhood. During the first six months of a child’s life, breast milk
alone is the ideal food. It contains all the nutrients needed for healthy
growth as well as immune factors that protect against common childhood
infections.
Good nutrition is the cornerstone for survival, health and development for
current and succeeding generations. Well-nourished children perform
better in school, grow into healthy adults and in turn give their children a
better start in life.
