National Nutrition Week 2025 🥗
Food for Health, Health for All
From October 9th until the 15th, we’re joining the movement to celebrate nutritious, accessible and balanced eating - because good nutrition is for every stage of life. 💚
Healthy eating in adulthood plays a vital role in:
✨ Preventing lifestyle-related diseases like diabetes and heart disease
💪 Supporting energy, mood and overall productivity
🧠 Promoting mental well-being and long-term quality of life
South Africa continues to face the triple burden of malnutrition - undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies and overweight/obesity. But every small, consistent change in how we eat and shop can help shift that balance.
This year’s theme reminds us that access to nutritious food is a basic human right, and that our choices - from local produce to fewer ultra-processed foods - can strengthen both our bodies and our communities.
Let’s take this week to:
🥕 Choose whole, minimally processed foods
🍞 Read and understand food labels
🍳 Enjoy balanced, home-cooked meals
💬 Talk more about nutrition and well-being — not just weight
Because when we prioritise food for health, we build a stronger, more nourished South Africa. 🇿🇦💛
