The leguminous seeds (pulses) are an important source of proteins in the Indian dietaries. They are rich sources of certain essential amino acids (lysine and threonine) in which cereal and millet proteins are partially deficient. The nutritive value of the proteins of legumes is adversely affected by the presence of tryptic and growth inhibitors present in them. It has been shown by some workers that optimal heat processing destroys the inhibitors and consequently brings about a marked improvement in the nutritive value of their proteins. Very little information is, however, available on the effect of different methods of cooking on the nutritive value of common Indian pulses.- The Nutritive Value of the Proteins of Blends of Red Gram Dhal, Milk, Rice and Peas

Despite the advances in science and technology, humanity in the third worid continues to be ravaged by poverty and disease. Surveydata in our country indicate nutritional problems such as undernutrition, protein malnutrition and micronutrient deficiency. Energy deficit and protein malnutrition still continue to be widespread in our country among children and adults, the productive population group. Five to seven per cent of children suffer annually from eye damage caused by vitamin A deficiency and recent studies suggest that even mild vitamin A deficiency probably increases morbidity and mortality in children, highlighting the public health importance of this disorder.- Nutrition and Maternal Health

The twentieth century has witnessed tremendous technical progress culminating in man's conquest of space and his landing on the moon. However, despite these achievements, some of the worst forms of malnutrition are haunting mankind even today. Poorly nourished mothers give birth to small infants whose neonatal, perinatal and infant mortality rates are alarming. While there is scientific evidence for the favourable effects of birth spacing and reduced family size on child health and survival, there is no knowledge regarding the role of nutrition on the reproductive capacity, gestational age, delivery, duration of labour, birth spacing and previous pregnancies. The present study aimed at gathering information regarding these aspects.- Enhancing the Nutritive Value of Convenience Foods by Incorporating Green Leafy Vegetables

In the last 30 to 40 years greater affluence, more working wives and mothers, the difficulty in getting paid domestic employees and the acceptance of new ideas about food values have all contributed to the introduction of more and more convenience foods in the market.- Impact of Nutrition Education of the Tamil Nadu Integrated Nutrition Project on the Nutritional Status of Selected Preschool Children

Good nutrition is an indispensable component of healthy life. It is the common denominator for healthy growth of mind and body. The nutritional status of a country on a macro level, and in different strata of the population on micro level, depends on the growth of population, production and distribution of foods, nutrition knowledge of the population, purchasing power of the masses, and various other socioeconomic factors. With a population of over 844 million, of whom about 30 per cent live below poverty line, and 49 per cent are illiterate, the nutrition problems faced are multidimensional.- Foods of Aquatic Origin in Human Nutrition - A Review

Vitamin A deficiency has been one of the major controllable public health and nutritional problems in India. An estimated 5-7% children suffer from eye signs of vitamin A deficiency. There has been a gradual decline in the prevalence of vitamin A deficiency in India due to the introduction of many intervention programmes. Recent findings suggest that vitamin A deficiency probably increases morbidity and mortality in children. A short term strategy of prophylaxis programme administering mega doses of vitamin A to the preschoolers on periodic basis in the country is being carried out in India. However, this cannot be a long term solution. Therefore it is imperative to create public awareness among all age groups to supplement dietary vitamin A through effective nutrition education. One of the effective channels for imparting nutrition education is school meal programme for children.- Proceedings of the International Conferences on Dietary Guidelines

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.- Dietary Supplementation and Vitamin A Nutrition of Rural Children

Most vulnerable of all are the infants and children, whose well being and intellectual growth determine the future of the nation. Vitamin A deficiency, the blinding malnutrition or xerophthalmia, is the world's leading cause of blindness. In Asia, where the disorder is most common, more than five million children are affected by xerophthalmia every year, and at least 5,00,000 of them become blinds.- Intra Family Food Intake of Selected Rural Households and Food Consumption Patterns of Pregmant Women

Evaluation of feeding programmes is indispensable to obtain information about how the programmes are functioning with respect to achieving their goals. Devadas and Mohan Ram recommend bulit-in evaluation system with appropriate guidelines for the measurement of the outcomes of the ongoing feeding programmes. Systematic evaluation of any feeding programme operating in thousands of centers calls for a standard schedule using which it should be possible to categories the performance of the centers as 'good' , 'very good' or 'poor'. The criteria evolved and the scores arrived for the criteria for the evaluation of the feeding programmes are presented in this paper.- Incidence of Dental Caries in Children of Age 5-12 Years in Coimbatore

School children form an important vulnerable segment of population and constitute 20 per cent of total population in India as per the census report (1981). School age is a dynamic period of physical growth and development along with mental, emotional and social changes Survey data in India show that a considerable proportion of school children are malnourished and have a decreased growth rate. These school children have just managed to survive severe malnutrition in early childhood and carry scar of bitter nutritional experiences of their early childhood. They manifest nutritional deficiency diseases, growth retardation general lack of concentration and high susceptibility to infectious diseases. The internecine struggle between the inherent velocity to grow and a deterring hostile environment ultimately retards these children from growing into adulthood.- Nutritional Outcomes of a Rural Diet Supplemented with Low Cost Locally Available Foods.

Today, many a measures are underway in bettering the lot of these communities Undoubtedly, self-reliance alone can bring in lasting measures in any developmental activity and this is especially true of tribals because inspite of all the invasions by outsiders in general they prefer to live and practice their own way of life.

There is adequate emperical evidence to show that the health and nutritional status of the children during the earlier years of development will determine to a stable extent, the productivity, physical stamina and endurance in adult life.In this context, nutrition intervention programmes have become a compelling necessity under the goal of social justice to the weaker sections. One of the most effective means of combating malnutrition is to provide a nutritious meal or a balanced food supplement prepared with inexpensive local foods to the target groups to ensure their proper nourishment.- Malnutrition and Behavior: Critical Assessment of Key Issues

Malnutrition interferes with a child's motivation, power of concentration and learning capacity. It results in the poor school performance of the child and low aspiration to higher education. Therefore only 40 per cent of the pupils entering the primary schools reach the fourth grade, which is the minimum to achieve lasting literacy. Thus malnutrition has become the primary cause for the huge educational waste. Hence this study was conducted to investigate the effects of malnutrition on mental abilities of selected children, five to eight years of age, in a selected rural area, and to study the changes in their mental abilities and nutritional status, after improving their diets.- Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology, Volume 105 Nutritional Improvement of Food and Feed Proteins

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.- Influence of Family Income and Parents' Education on the Nutritional Status of Preschool Children

Malnutrition coupled with insufficient knowledge about food values, high birth rate, poor economic conditions and inadequate sanitary environment has victimised millions of our populations. The cause of malnutrition is not only economic poverty, but also poverty in knowledge of nutritional needs of the child. Nutrition education of the families is a crucial need to bring about nutritional improvement. A majority of the young children in India grow in environments which hamper their development. Their tradition bound parents are led by the socio religious norms of behaviours and practices, in the case of their children. They, particularly the mothers need education in health, nutrition and child care. This study is an attempt at imparting such education, through the Parent Teacher Associations in two primary schools.- Evaluation of the Nutritional Value of High Lysine Maize

The maize varieties presently cultivated in India contain 10 to 12 per cent total protein. However, the quality of their protein is poor, lacking in the essential amino acids-lysine, tryptophan and isoleucine. Hence production of a hybrid maize in which these amino acids are present in the required quantities will have a direct beneficial effect on improving human nutrition. Such an effort, made in Purdue University, U. S. A. in 1966, resulted in the opaque-2 strain of maize, rich in the amino acids, lysine and tryptophan.- 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.- Biological Availability of β Carotene from Fresh and Dried Green Leafy Vegetables on Preschool Children

Vitamin A deficiency is one of the major public health problems in India, contributing to five million cases of preventable blindness. The most rational method of preventing the tragedy of vitamin A deficiency in children appears to be improving their diets with inexpensive sources of vitamin A such as green leafy vegetables. Green leafy vegetables are used in India in both the fresh and dried forms. McDowell states that the carotene content of leafy vegetables is destroyed under direct exposure to sunlight. This paper carries the findings of an investigation on the biological availability of β carotene from fenugreek and drumstick leaves when used in the fresh and dried forms on a selected group of rural preschool children.- Evaluating the Impact of Nutrition / Health Integrated Curriculum on the Primary School Children and Teachers in Selected Schools in Coimbatore District

Development of human resources depends on education and health. While education helps an individual to develop fully his intellectual potential, increase productivity and become an useful and responsible member of the society, health imparts the capacity to use the body effectively and is equally essential for the realisation of the personal, economic and social objectives. Hence, if the younger generation is to develop into responsive citizens with correct attitudes towards food and health, the only available channel to impart health and nutrition education is the primary school.- Dietary Nutrient Guide

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.- Nutritional Impact of School Lunch Programme on Children over a Period of Five Years

This organization which has its prime objective to bring together persons from wide range of disciplines concerned with human development, focuses its attention on the ecology of nutrition, as an integral part of human life and fundamental discipline in the area of biology. The triangular relationship between food, man. and society is brought out vividly with an interdisciplinary effort centered around an unified aim of characterizing food as a fundamental environmental influence exerting an effect on man at every level of biological organization, and to characterize man as an organism capable of reacting to food in a multiplicity of ways.- Protein and Nutrition Policy in Low Income Countries

Three quarters of the population of India live in the rural areas, and yet three quarters of the expenditure on medical care occurs in cities, where three quarters of the doctors live. While the rural areas supply food to the urban population and the very existence of industries is due to the support given by the rural sector, most of the villages are not reached by any medical care. Therefore several suggestions such as bare foot doctors, health posts at the micro level and health aides are being considered.- Our Polluted Food: A Survey of the Risks

The ability of any protein to satisfy the physiological needs and the efficiency with which the needs can be met depends upon the amino acid pattern of the protein and the efficiency of its utilisation, which in turn, is dependent upon the level at which the protein is fed and the adequacy of the caloric supply. Numerous other factors also influence nitrogen retention, such as, the ratio of dietary protein to total calories, muscular activity, cooking practices, frequency of meals and the quantity of food needed to give satiety value. The experiment was devoted to study the influence of variable quantities of dietary energy and protein on nitrogen retention in adolescent girls.- Standardisation and Nutrient Analysis of Nine Commonly Used South Indian Recipes

During the last 30 to 40 years, it has been the leading paediatric problem among infants and pre-school children and even adolescents.- Nutritional Evaluation of a Maize-Based Indigenous Infant Food, "Kuzhandai Amudhu"

Upto the first sixth month of age, breast milk is adequate for meeting the calorie and nutrient requirements of the infant. Thereafter, the breast milk supply is inadequate to meet the requirements. However, no supplementary food is generally given to infants in India until the age of two years. The only items given, sometimes, in addition to the mother's milk are, over diluted cow's milk with very little other foods such as cooked rice in the form of gruel.- Proceedings of the first Asian Congress of Nutrition

The interaction between heredity and environment determines the personality and character of an individual. As Breckenridge and Vincent point out from the moment of conception when the parent cells fuse, a pattern for future growth and development is set. To what extent and in what direction a child's potentialities will be realized depend upon his environment. Jelliffe lists the environmental factors that influence growth as sex, intra-uterine conditions, birth order, birth weight in single and multiple pregnancies, parental size and genetic constitution and other factors such as climate, season and socio-economic levels.- Nutritional Evaluation of School Lunch Programme in Two Selected Villages

The causes of malnutrition and undernutrition have been traced to poverty, ignorance, traditional beliefs and customs, faulty feeding practices, poor hygiene and insanitary conditions (Devadas, Gopalan, FAQ, Ramdas).
