Definition of Nutrition

Before finding ways to observe or celebrate the National Nutrition Week one must be aware of the term ‘Nutrition’.

In simple words, nutrition can be defined as the process of obtaining or acquiring the food essential for one’s growth and development. In a more elaborate way, nutrition is defined as the physiological and biochemical process that an organism undergoes in order to use the food for meeting the energy needs.

The process of nutrition is not a one staged one. In fact it involves a number of different stages that take place sequentially. The major steps involved in nutrition are:

  1. Ingestion
  2. Absorption
  3. Assimilation
  4. Biosynthesis
  5. Catabolism
  6. Excretion

History of National Nutrition Week

As a matter of fact, Nutrition Week was first observed in the United States of America by  the American Dietetic Association. The organization which is now known as the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics observed the National Nutrition Week for the first time in 1973. The main purpose of this celebration was to educate the masses about the importance of Nutrition as well as strengthen the role of nutritionists across the globe.

Later, following the lead set by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the Indian Government dedicated an entire week as National Nutrition Week. This clearly brought major changes in the mindset of people in a country like ours, where poverty and malnutrition are major setbacks.
