National Nutrition Week is observed from 1st to 7th September annually. In the year 1982, the National Food and Nutrition Board announced the annual celebration of National Nutrition Week. It aims to generate awareness among people for the proper intake of a balanced diet.

A human body needs proper nutrition for healthy well-being. Proper nutrition boosts metabolism and provides energy to a human body. A proper time table for meals is also very necessary for maintaining a healthy body. National Nutrition Week talks about the right amount of nutrients, its intake timing and keeps a check on the undernourished people.
