The nutrition status of individuals during their first 1000 days of life plays a crucial role in determining their quality of life in later years. It is essential to provide infants, young children and pregnant women with highly nutritious foods containing essential nutrients to ensure their well-being. Lack of these essential nutrients can lead to long-term health risks including stunted growth, impaired cognitive development and the onset of chronic diseases, resulting in increased healthcare costs to the government.
