According to the World Health Organization (WHO), malnutrition—including undernutrition and obesity—presents a significant threat to global health and development. Addressing this dual burden is a core reason why annual events like Nutrition Week are celebrated, with a central aim to increase awareness and promote healthier dietary habits across all demographics.
