The Childhood Nutrition Program at Fit Karnataka Mission is designed to address the unique nutritional needs of children facing challenges like obesity, underweight, and malnutrition. Nutrition plays a crucial role in a child’s growth, cognitive development, and overall health. Issues such as poor dietary habits, lack of physical activity, and unbalanced meals can lead to health complications later in life. Obesity in children increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and other metabolic disorders, while underweight and malnutrition can result in stunted growth, weakened immunity, and developmental delays.
Led by clinical nutritionist Pooja Ganesh, this program tailors nutrition plans to help children achieve optimal health. For children struggling with obesity, the focus is on creating a balanced diet with controlled portions, incorporating healthy fats, whole grains, lean proteins, and plenty of fruits and vegetables, while minimizing sugar and processed foods. For underweight and malnourished children, the goal is to improve nutrient intake with calorie-dense yet nutritious foods that boost weight gain and provide essential vitamins and minerals.
The program also educates parents on establishing long-term healthy eating habits, ensuring children develop a positive relationship with food that supports their well-being as they grow.
