First 2000 days can set the pace for good health of poor health according to a study that was done by the Robert Wood Johnson foundation. They have found a large body of evidence that ties experiences in early childhood with health throughout life particularly in your adult years.
Social and economic factors such as income, education and neighborhood resources, affect health at every stage of life, but the effects on young children are particularly dramatic. They feel that earliest years of our lives( The first 2000 days) are crucial in many ways; these years set us on paths leading toward--or away from--good health.
