About the Campaign
Women, especially mothers, often tend to neglect their own nutrition and health. Most Indian mothers' diet lacks key nutrients – like iodine, iron, folate, calcium, and zinc – which can cause anemia, pre-eclampsia, hemorrhage, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, blood pressure, osteoporosis and even death in mothers.
Early 40s especially is a time when the machinery of the body is prone to a lot of risk and so it is the perfect time to address the issues earlier on, before they get worse.
The body is subjected to the following changes after 40:
- Slower metabolism
- Hormonal imbalance
- Bone loss
among many others.
Nutrition is a key component that can help these mothers to keep Rocking!
