Hidden Hunger

By: Jindal, Ruby

Children represent the future of every society, and their physical and mental development depends greatly on proper nutrition. Nutrition during childhood is essential not only for growth and energy but also for brain development, immunity, emotional well-being, and long-term health. However, millions of children worldwide continue to suffer from nutritional deficiencies due to inadequate diets, poverty, disease, lack of awareness, poor healthcare access, and unhealthy lifestyle patterns.Nutritional deficiencies in children are often referred to as "hidden hunger" because the symptoms may not always be immediately visible. A child may appear normal yet suffer from deficiencies of iron, vitamin A, iodine, calcium, zinc, protein, or other essential nutrients. Such deficiencies can negatively affect learning ability, physical growth, immunity, and cognitive development.
