N&G 2025 - Symposium Abstract Brochure

In the NNI and WNSC symposium at the 12th International Conference on Nutrition and Growth, global experts discussed how nutrition during the critical toddler years builds a strong foundation for future health. The talks mainly tackled complementary feeding (CF) and the emphasis on the right timing to maximize health outcomes such as prevention of allergy and obesity, as well as the complex process of learning to eat, emphasizing the importance of food taste and texture acceptance in shaping future eating behaviors, and the impact of specific nutrients on brain maturation and myelination
