The Nutrition Awareness Index 2023 brings forth an indicator of the country’s nutritional status

The Nutrition Awareness Index is based on three important levers:

Those aware and with access to nutrient sources might not be able to afford the same. 810 million people in India are being provided food through the public distribution system.

Creating a balanced diet requires understanding of the proportions of various nutrients that need to be consumed daily. A citizen should also know the source of these nutrients.

Even if Indians are aware of their nutritional needs and sources for the nutrients, they may not always have access to these sources. The urban working class may not get enough time to prepare and eat meals and may find it easier to order in food or eat at outside eateries.

Key Findings

A balanced diet is key to good overall health, increased productivity, and protection from illness. A balanced diet should consist of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals in appropriate proportions.
