September Is ‘Poshan Maah’ And This Year It’s All About Women’s Health. Here’s Everything You Need To Know About It

Most Indian women have the tendency to forget about their own health because they always prioritise their families first. Personally speaking, no matter how many times I tell my mother to take care of her health, all I get is an ignorant reaction. It is very necessary to make them realise how important is to take care of their health and nutrition, and this very important point is being raised by the Ministry Of Health in this year’s Poshan Maah, which means Nutrition Month. This year the Poshan Maah will be all about highlighting and focusing on increasing awareness amongst women about their health.

What Is Poshan Maah?

September is known as Poshan Maah, translated as Nutrition Month. The main motive for celebrating this month is to start conversations about health and nutrition and carry out activities that will help promote this idea. This year, the country will celebrate the 5th year of Poshan Maah.
