Nutrition and Child Nutrition

Nutrition is the process by which organisms obtain and utilize nutrients for growth, development, and overall well-being. It encompasses the intake of food, digestion, absorption, metabolism, and excretion of nutrients.

Child nutrition specifically focuses on the dietary needs of infants, children, and adolescents. Proper nutrition during childhood is crucial for optimal growth and development, cognitive function, immune system support, and long-term health outcomes.
