Global Iodine Deficiency Disorders Prevention Day, on October 21, is a day to learn about the importance of iodine in our diet. Iodine is a tiny nutrient that helps our bodies, especially our brains, grow and work properly. Sometimes, people don't get enough iodine from their food, which can cause health problems. This day helps remind everyone to eat foods with iodine, like fish, dairy, and iodized salt, to stay healthy. People around the world work together to make sure everyone knows how important iodine is for growing strong and smart.
How to celebrate Global Iodine Deficiency Disorders Prevention Day?
Start the day by learning about foods rich in iodine, like fish, dairy, and iodized salt. Create a fun poster that shows why iodine is important for our body, especially for keeping our brains and bodies strong. Share your poster with friends and family to spread awareness.

In the evening, watch a kid-friendly video about iodine's role in our health. Lastly, talk with family about ways to ensure everyone gets enough iodine, making it a fun and educational day.
