On 8th of May 2016, there was a meet to discuss on #Immunity Factor & its necessity for growth. The meet at Vivanta by Taj was organised by Horlicks & GSK in association with IndiBlogger.
I, being a Father of a young one, was determined to attend this meet without a miss. I had to cancel one of the planned activity for this meet, and yes I can say it was much more worth to attend the #Immunity4Growth Meet.
The meeting started with introduction of Jill Castle, America's Childhood Nutrition Expert, by Anoop. She is a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) and childhood nutrition expert with over 25+ years in the field of paediatric nutrition. It was a very informative & eye opener session. The session by Jill was followed by a panel discussion.
In short, Its a 3-phase of fight to get #Immunity4Growth.
1. Acknowledge the Problem :- First thing for us is to acknowledge the problem of Nutritional deficiency among our children. Statistically its said that 30% of the kids in the developing countries are with Micro Nutrients deficiency. Well stats are stats, lets worry about the world & others later. Lets check the Nutritional value of our own kids. One can do that at http://nutrimeter.horlicks.in/.
2. Understand the Problem :- Hidden hunger is one such problem in which there is a nutritional deficiency inside but from outside kids look nutritionally sufficient. For children to grow well outside, they need to be strong inside.
3. Fight back the problem of nutritional deficiency:- A planned & complete diet is the main solution. To make sure that the kids have a proper diet parents, teachers & school staff needs to be educated and make them part of the war against the nutritional deficiency.There are only few food products which can be regarded as wholesome. So make sure that you have wholesome nutritional diet.

I took a pledge on Mother's day as a Father, thanks to Horlicks, that I will be part of this fight against Hidden Hunger for my kid. Lets build our future - strong from Both Inside & Outside.
After the panel, there was a good nutritional dinner :-) along with networking with fellow bloggers.
