In India prevalence of coronary artery disease is 30/1000. The burden of cardiovascular disease has increased by 100 per cent in both rural and urban areas. Studies have proved that the incidence of cardio vascular disease is reduced by supplementing fiber rich foods in the diet there by lowering and changing pattern of living with regular exercise programme. Incorporating fiber in the diet brings about reduction in serum cholesterol by preventing absorption.- Bio Availability of Iron from Mung Beans and its Effect on the Nutritional Status of Women

Prevalence of obesity, aptly described as a genetic misfortune, has reached epidemic dimensions worldwide and is continuing to rise at an alarming rate even in developing countries where human hunger is the other side of the coin. It is estimated that more than 300 million people worldwide are obese. According to Koon prevalence rates of overweight and obesity in India are 12.8 and 10.3 per cent respectively. Diet, eating pattern, physical inactivity, sedentary lifestyles, environmental factors, alcohol consumption and psychological factors contribute to obesity. This global epidemic is related to increased mortality and morbidity rates with excess body fat being a significant risk factor for a number of chronic disorders such as CVD, NIDDM, gout, gall stones, intestinal blockage, kidney disease, sleep apnea, hernia and arthritis.- Improving the Invitro Availability of Iron from Selected Mungbean Recipes

Anaemia is estimated to affect 3.5 billion individuals in the developing world and more than 320 million people in India with the highest prevalence among women and children (40 to 80 per cent pregnant women, 60 to 70 per cent children and 50 per cent adolescent girls)'. Improvement in supply and consumption of iron rich foods and enhancing the bioavailability of iron from foods are important strategies to improve the iron status of populations. In many parts of the developing world where a vegetarian diet is an economic necessity, non-haem iron is the most important source of dietary iron. Leguminous seeds are an important source of iron in many regions and among the legumes used in India, mungbean (Vigna radiata) occupies a main place.- Effect of Exclusive Breast Feeding vs Bottle Feeding

Good nutrition, in the early months of life, is more usually determined by feeding practices-whether the right food is given at the right time and in the right way and by the right frequency. Breast feeding ensures this start because of its many unique advantages for the child's physical, mental and psychological development. Breastmilk is child's first immunization. Breast feeding should be continued for one year or as long as possible.- Effect of Supplementation of Double Fortified Salt on the Iron and Iodine Status of Selected Children in the Age Group of 10-14 Years

Iron and Iodine are the two micronutrients which are essential as constituents of enzymes and proteins for normal processes of growth, development, maintenance and resistance to infection. Iron deficiency does not just result in either anaemia or iodine deficiency in just goitre. The implications are much more severe and serious than the mere outward symptoms.- Effect of Naturopathic Treatment in Reducing Weight among Obese Volunteers

Cardiovascular disease is responsible for about 40 per cent of death in developing countries. The incidence of CVD in 1980 was one per cent whereas now it has increased to 11 per cent and it is going to reach 20 to 27 per cent in another 20 years. Cardiovascular Diseases remain the most important cause of early invalidity, professional inactivity and premature death. The most effective treatment recommended for elevated serum cholesterol by dietary means is to replace foods high in saturated fats with those high in PUFA.- Impact of ICDS on the Health Status of Children

Birthweight is the single most important predictor of infant survival since both neonatal and post neonatal mortality increase exponentially with decreasing birthweight. The seed of death is sown in a majority of low birthweight (LBW) infants much before they are born and so many are more likely to die early and those who survive suffer illness, stunted growth and other health problems even as adults.- Book Review

Good health is an asset in this modern scientific world. However since the first recorded history, diseases have been known to exist. Worldwide attempts to eradicate yaws, malaria and small pox have all been effective to varying extents, but still some diseases have to be explored and controlled. As we begin to control the majority of infective diseases newer ones crop up and of these coronary heart disease is man-killer number one today. Smoking out-weighs all other reported risk factors for peripheral vascular diseases. The average increase in death rate in smokers is 70 per cent more than that of non-smokers.- Enhancing the Nutritive Value of Convenience Foods by Incorporating Green Leafy Vegetables

Causes of poor pregnancy outcome are complex and deep ischolar_mained in India. When pregnant women at risk do not have adequate access to proper diet and care during the antenatal period, at delivery or post partum, high maternal mortality is inevitable. Nearly 70 per cent of the Indian women of child bearing age reside in rural areas, where facilities for special care is limited. Risk scoring systems play a vital role in the identification of high risk pregnant women in such areas.- Impact of Iron and Vitamin A Supplementation on Anaemic Pregnant Women

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated significant relationships between serum vitamin A level and biochemical Indicators of Iron status. It is assumed that vitamin A is involved in the regulatoin of iron transport from the llver. It is also believed that vitamin A Improves the haemoglobin level by improving the absorption or utilisation of iron by the bone marrow. Recent studies done at different centres in India have shown a beneficial effect of vitamin A supplementation to pregnant women on haemoglobin values. This is significant. In the context of high prevalence of both anaemia and vitamin A deficiency in pregnant women. Hence, the present study was planned io study the impact of iron and vitamin A supplementation on anaemic pregnant women.- Biochemical Profile of Selected Normal Healthy Adult Men and Women

It has been estimated that there are about one and a half million cases of cancer in India alone with about half a million new cases being added on every year. Though the incidence is generally lower than the developed countries, the size of Indian population makes the actual cancer burden much more than in United States or United Kingdom.- Health and Nutritional Status of Adolescent Girls Working in Dyeing Units

Plant, foods such as cereals and legumes have consistently been listed as the major potential sources of dietary protein for feeding the world of tomorrow. In view of the growing demands for food grains in India where rice and wheat production may reach a plateau, exploitation of millets and less used cereals as food grain becomes inevitable. Although the chemical composition or amino acids make up of a dietary protein may give an elegant representation of the value of protein, it is necessary to verify in quality by actual biological experiment.- Adequacy of Recommended Dietary Allowances of ICMR for Adolescent Girls

The growth, health and efficiency of a population are determined by adequate food supply, furnishing all the essential nutrients in the required quantities. The recommended dietary allowances (RDA) are the basis to plan, formulate and provide adequate diets. Hence, it is very essential to make sure that the dietary allowances are realistic. Since not much work has been done on adolescent girls with regard to recommended dietary allowances and it is a most crucial period in one's life, adolescent girls were selected as subjects for the study.- Impact of Supplementation of Vitamin'A' along with Iron to Expectant Mothers

While a variety of deficiency diseases exist among expectant and nursing mothers and other population groups, the major types observed are protein energy malnutrition, hypovitaminosis A and anemia. The low serum retinol levels among expectant mothers affect the foetal stores of vitamin A and the most lamentable consequence of such poor vitamin A status of the infant, is blindness. Hence improving the vitamin A status of the expectant mother will go a long way in preventing child blindness.- Sea Foods and Fish Oils in Human Health and Disease

Though numerous studies are available regarding dietary intake of healthy adults, no work has been carried out on the biochemical profile of heal by adults in developing countries like India. One has to rely on western standards to judge the adequacy of the biochemical picture for various nutrients. A number of ecological factors like food availability and production, environmental factors, socio-economic, racial, climatic and cultural variations influence the nutritional status of individuals.- Anaemia and Work Output of Farm Women

Nutritional anaemia is defined as the condition in which the haemoglobin content of the blood is lower than the normal as a result of a deficiency of one or more essential nutrients. Iron deficiency anaemia affects the physical capacity by reducing the availability of oxygen to the tissues which inturn affects cardiac output and the heart eventually leading to death in severe cases. Nutritional iron deficiency anaemia is more prevalent among young women, than is generally supposed and is bound to interfere with health, preparation for pregnancy and work efficiency.- Impact of Iron and Folic Acid Supplementation on Expectant Mothers and their Offspring

The nutritional status of the exterogestate infants in the first year of life depends on the foetal stores of nutrients, maternal diet in pregnancy, the nutritional status of the mother and methods of infant feeding. Nursing the child makes extra demands on the mother consequently there is an increase in her requirements for energy, protein, minerals and vitamins. Only when these requirements are fulfilled the nursing mother can secrete adequate milk of good quality for her growing infant. Hence it is a regrettable fact that breast feeding is on the decline. The health of the infant and its mother must be ensured by disseminating information on the benefits of breast feeding.- Nutritional Profile of Selected Nursing Mothers in Coimbatore City

Nursing the child is an ancient, physiological process. Human milk is highly protective against infant malnutrition and the associated infective diarrhoea. All mammalian milks meet the highly specific physiological needs of each species, to ensure the optimum growth and development of the infant. The first step in successful breast feeding is maintaining at an optimal level the nutritional status of the mother. The well being of the infant depends to a considerable extent on the diet of its mother during pregnancy and lactation.- Impact of Nutrition on Pregnancy, Lactation and Growth Performance of Extero-Gestate Foetus

Population growth has become one of the most serious development problems in world ecology. It appears to have an independent momentum that does not respond spontaneously and automatically to other developmental variables. Better nutrition could be used as a means of arresting the population growth. Better infant nutrition would kindle the desire of individuals to control the number of their offsprings but such a trend is impossible in the presence of high infant and maternal mortality. There is little knowledge about the effects of better nutrition on the reproductive capacity, foetal wastage and the ability of the mother to breast feed her baby successfully. Therefore this study was undertaken to assess the impact of the nutritional status of expectant mothers on the health status of the infants and their lactation.- Quality Control in the Animal Feedstuffs Manufacturing Industry
