The #powerofnutrition goes beyond what’s on our plate.Our choices, #foodenvironments, early-life habits and policies all shape how we eat and live. As #NationalNutritionWeek 2026 comes to a close, let’s move from awareness to action.
Healthier choices lead to Healthier children.
Different contexts, shared aspirations: to learn, grow, and thrive.
This International Youth Day, let’s invest in education, health, and nutritious food to help every young person reach their full potential.

Nearly 41 million #Indian #children are already #overweight or obese. Hoping to halt the trend before it worsens, the Indian Council of Medical Research (#ICMR) on Wednesday unveiled a roadmap proposing front-of-pack nutrition labels, healthier school food and tighter curbs on marketing of unhealthy foods to children. Key proposals include #front-of-pack #nutrition labelling, restrictions on the marketing of #unhealthyfoods to children, healthier school food environments, #lower #saltintake, healthier dietary fats and low-sodium salt substitutes, improved #nutritionliteracy, and fiscal measures such as taxes on foods high in fat, salt and sugar (#HFSS). @timesofindia @ICMRNIN @MoHFW_INDIA @JPNadda
Your #mentalhealthmatters, and so does the food that fuels it.
This #WorldSelfCareDay, remember that self-care is more than taking a break; it's also about nourishing your mind and body with balanced meals, staying hydrated, and making choices that support your well-being.

"The path from evidence to impact is built on collaboration." Prof. (Dr.) K. Srinath Reddy outlined five essential steps for advancing any public health priority, assembling allies, agreeing on a common agenda, amplifying advocacy, accelerating action, and ensuring accountability
"When one adolescent changes a habit, friends notice. Families notice. Communities notice. That's how real change begins."
At the #LetsFixOurFood Dissemination Workshop, Youth Ambassadors called for #healthierfoodenvironments and youth-led action.
Years of collaboration. Months of research. One shared vision.
The #LetsFixOurFood Dissemination & Consultation Workshop marked the launch of knowledge products to support healthier food environments for children and adolescents across India.

Let's Fix Our Food for a healthier future! 🌱
UNICEF India joined Dr. M. Srinivas, Member (Health), @NITIAayog, @ICMRNIN, @MoHFW_INDIA, @ResolveTSL and partners at the @LetsFixOurFood Annual Dissemination Event 2026 to advance priority policy actions for creating healthier food environments for children and adolescents in India.
The event marked the release of 10 Policy Brief, the Nutrition Environment Assessment Toolkit for Schools (NEAT-S), and LFOF website—important milestones to strengthen evidence-informed policies and healthier food choices for young people.
At UNICEF, we believe that evidence is the foundation of effective policy. Together with our partners, we remain committed to supporting governments and stakeholders to create food environments that enable every child and adolescent to grow, learn, and thrive.
