Description

Dr. Hema Divakar expounds on adolescence as a critical phase for addressing nutrition to prevent undernutrition, obesity, and micronutrient deficiencies. Addressing deficiencies in calcium, iron, protein, and other nutrients is essential to support bone health, cognitive function, and overall development. Establishing healthy dietary habits during this stage, particularly for girls, prepares them for future pregnancies and promotes long-term health. Investing in adolescent health offers "triple dividends"—immediate benefits, enhanced adult productivity, and reduced health risks for future generations.
