102nd Nestlé Nutrition Institute workshop - Growing Strong: Harnessing for Child Health the Power of Nutrition
In this workshop, we will explore the critical role of optimal nutrition in shaping growth patterns, promoting healthy development, and ensuring proper nourishment for the brain, bones, and overall growth. We will also examine the influence of environmental factors and exposures, along with strategies to optimize these elements. Additionally, we will delve into the impact of nutrition on growth and the long-term risk of non-communicable diseases, with a focus on interventions during preconception, fetal development, and the postnatal period to reduce their incidence.
