Varun Dhawan: 'Super Khana' for Kids!
15 Nov
Summary
- Varun Dhawan taught children about biofortification on Children's Day.
- Biofortification enhances everyday foods like rice and dal with nutrients.
- Parents should focus on food nutrition, not just quantity, says Dhawan.
Actor Varun Dhawan engaged with children on Children's Day, taking on a teaching role to explain biofortification. He introduced the concept, describing how common foods like rice, roti, and dal can be fortified to include more zinc, iron, and protein, effectively making them 'super khana'. This initiative, part of a campaign for better nutrition, aims to increase awareness among children and parents about the value of their daily meals.
Dhawan reflected on his own journey as a father, noting how it changed his approach to food and nutrition. He stressed the critical importance of a child's first 1,000 days, advocating that everyday foods can provide a better start if enhanced with essential nutrients. The campaign draws attention to biofortification as a method to address nutritional deficiencies at their source by improving the nutritional quality of widely consumed food crops.
