Diabetes mellitus is an increasing world health problem; particularly the prevalence of type 2 diabetes has assumed epidemic in developing countries. It is mainly due to the environmental, dietary and lifestyle behavioral factors that control the progress of this disease. Nutrition is often said to be the cornerstone of diabetes care. The nutritional management of diabetes can affect long term health and quality of life. There is increasing evidence that complications related to diabetes are associated with oxidative stress induced by the generation of free radicals. Bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L. ) is a common food in Indian cuisine and has been used extensively in folk medicine as a remedy for diabetes. Medicinal value of bitter gourd has been attributed to its high antioxidant properties due in part to phenols, flavonoids, isoflavones, terpenes, anthroquinones and glucosinolates. Hypoglycaemic effect of bitter gourd extracts have been demonstrated in various animal models of insulin resistance.

Diabetes prevalence in India indicates that the epidemic is progressing rapidly across the nation, reaching a total of 62.4 million in 2011. Phase one results of the Indian Council of Medical Research - India Diabetes (ICMR- INDIAB) study concluded that 62.4 million people live with diabetes in India and 77.2 million people are on the threshold, with pre- diabetes. The prevalence of diabetes in Tamil Nadu is 10.4 per cent and the prevalence of pre-diabetes (impaired fasting glucose and/ or impaired glucose tolerance) is 8.3 per cent. The American Diabetic Association recommends that individuals with diabetes mellitus must increase the quantity of dietary fiber in their diets to reduce their blood glucose and insulin levels following meals. Qureshi et al ., brought into limelight that soluble fiber such as rice bran plays an important role in decreasing cholesterol and controlling blood glucose levels. Every year, 63 to 76 million tons of rice bran is produced in the world and more than 90 per cent of rice bran is sold as animal feed for throw away price.References

Glutamate in the free form is abundantly found in all natural foods and it has been used as a flavour enhancer for more than thousand years across the world. It is a multifunctional amino acid. Around 50g of glutamate is synthesised in the body and 20 to 40 g is obtained from the food every day. In the central nervous system glutamate is the dominant excitatory neurotransmitter as it regulates several neuronal related functions in the body. Human and animal studies indicate that glutamate is the major oxidative fuel for the gut and the dietary glutamate is extensively metabolised by the intestine.References

Autism is a pervasive developmental disability increasing in epidemic proportion among the children with a male predominance characterized by impairments in socialization, communication and imagination. These children exhibit classical atypical behaviours that are difficult to manage. This study was undertaken to assess the impact of dietary intervention on behavioural change in the autistic children. A group of 60 autistic children (5-16 yrs) were divided into three groups of 20 children each. Children in the experimental group I were administered the specially developed biscuits (50g), experimental group II received the same biscuits (50g) with added probiotic for a period of six months while the control group did not receive any food supplement. All the children received behaviour therapy as a routine school programme. The impact of intervention was evaluated in terms of their specific food behaviours and changes in their general behaviour under the five domains namely, sensory, relating, body/object use, language and self-help. A significant improvement (p<0.05) was observed in both the experimental groups at the end of the intervention. The children receiving probiotic biscuits were found to be slightly better than those in the experimental group I in certain observations. Both the experimental groups showed a greater improvement than that of the control. The results of this study stress the need for dietary intervention for the autistic children for a positive behavioural change.Keywords

Food safety is receiving attention worldwide as the link between food and health and improving food safety is an element in improving food security. The Government is anxious to ensure the safety, hygiene and quality of food and to protect the health of consumers. Consumers also, consider more sanitary and hygienic ways of food preparation as a criterion for choosing a specific food service establishment. As the international commerce expands and people eating outside the home have enormously increased, food-borne Illnesses have become a major public health focus worldwide.- Evaluation of Present Food Labeling System and Creating Awareness among Population Groups

Food is any substance or material eaten to provide nutritional support to the body or for pleasure. Governments worldwide regulate foods with two general objectives; to ensure safety and wholesomeness of the food supply to prevent economic fraud or deception These objectives encompass safety, purity, wholesomeness and value. Recently one more objective to inform consumers about the nutritional contents of foods has been added.- Body Composition of overweight and Obese Adolescent Girls (15 - 19 Years)

Adolescence is the period of transition between childhood and adulthood that involves biological, cognitive and socio - emotional changes. WHO defines "adolescents" as individuals in the 10 to 19 years age group. The most important predictor of adult obesity appears to be adolescent weight and changes of Body Mass Index (BMI) during this time. Growth and development in children and adolescents are associated with changes in body composition that affect body fatness and leanness. Body composition, used as one of the measures of growth is commonly defined as the proportions of fat, muscle, bone and other tissues in the body. Studies on body composition using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) method are scarce in India; hence, this study was an effort to provide data on the body composition of normal, overweight and obese adolescent girls aged 15 to 19 years.- Food Preferences and Food Beliefs of Autistic Children

'You are what you eat' and 'eat to win’ are popular statements in the athletic world and influence today's sporting population greatly. Proper diet choices are crucial to top-notch their performance contributing to endurance and helping speedy repair of injured tissues. For competitive athletes, the diet must provide the optimal mix of nutrients to fuel their special needs. As the only source of energy, food might hopefully encourage improved efficiency and increase stamina if judiciously selected. Today's athletes involved in many sports activities have developed the habit of restricting energy intake to maintain a low body weight. Energy needs of adolescents vary greatly, depending on the current rate of growth, body size and physical activity. Too low energy intake and unbalanced dietary composition not only interferes with proper body development and health, but also with training and physical performance.- Effect of Micronutrient Supplementation on the Nutritional and Immune Status of School Going Children with Upper and Lower Respiratory Tract Infections

Childhood malnutrition remains a major public health problem worldwide and has been widely recognized as an important risk factor for child mortality. An estimated 2.8 million child deaths is reported each year in the nine low-income Asian countries including India. Attempts are currently underway to quantitatively estimate the extent to which all forms of childhood malnutrition - including deficits in protein and energy and the micrcnutrients namely iron, vitamin A, iodine and zinc contribute to these adverse outcomes. In recent years, nutrition and Immunology are increasingly becoming interrelated disciplines. Micronutrient deficiency is associated with an impairment of immune responses and increased susceptibility to infections like upper and lower respiratory tract infections (URI/LRI) and skin infections especially in children.- Book Review

Working women today constitute 22.7 per cent of the total population of India as against 51.5 per cent of the male workers and most of them are expected to be in the reproductive age period. Every occupation is associated with specific health hazards and this calls for different priorities and Occupational Health Services (OHS). The Joint International Labour Organization and World Health Organization Committee stress that "Occupational Health should aim at the promotion and maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental and social wellbeing of workers of all occupations". The major categories of occupational hazards for workers are chemical, physical and biological agents, psychosocial factors and occupational accidents.- Health and Nutritional Status of Working Women in Coimbatore and their Exposure to Occupational Hazards

The consumption of fish in West Bengal is very high in India as it lies in the coastline and has on extended reverine system. Since most of the marine fishes from the state are exported, the people of the state mainly consume river fish. As the river fishes contain more of saturated fat when compared to marine fish, prolonged consumption of river fish may leave stronger implications on the health of the consumers.- Book Review

The term 'Adolescence' represents a hyperanabolic phase of growth, mediated by hormonal factors and characterised by peak velocities of growth. Studies by pioneer nutritionists drive home the fact that the average, adolescent girl in India suffers gross nutritional inadequacies. Socio economic status, heredity, food habits and environment also affect their nutritional status to a great extent. Undernourished girls become undernourished mothers among whom still births are common. Survivors remain malnourished through out life due to continuing poverty. At the domestic level, the viscious cycle of the malnourished mother-child - mother continues, laying waste the cost and effort involved in pregnancy, parturition and puerperium.- Mass Literacy Programme - An Effective Medium to Impart Nutrition Education

In India women constitute 50 per cent of the human resource and a great majority of them are illiterate. According to 1991 census, the overall literacy rate in India is 52.1 percent, the female literacy being 39.4 percent and the male literacy being 63.9 percent. To eradicate illiteracy, the Government of India launched the National Adult Literacy Programme all over the country on 2nd October 1978. This programme aims at providing nonformal education and developing skills in writing, reading and numeracy among the 15 to 35 year old women and men who are Illiterate. The National Literacy Mission aims at imparting functional literacy to 100 million people by the year 1995 through this programme.- Dietary Habits and Beta Carotene Rich Food Intakes of Children (6-12 Years of Age) Participating in the Puratchi Thalaivar Dr. M.G.R.

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.- Book Reviews

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.- ISI Hand Book of Food Analysis Part I General Methods

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.- Availability of Calcium from Tree Lettuce (Pisonia alba) on School Children

High prevalence of pre diabetes observed in many South Asian countries highlights a potential indicator of further progression of the diabetic epidemic in the region. Average expenditure related to diabetes per person in India is higher. Unless appropriate action is taken, this will place an economic burden, hence a food based approach was planned to reduce the incidence of pre diabetes. The main aim of the study was to investigate the hypoglycemic effect of bitter gourd (Mormordica charantia L.)among pre diabetics. A single blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized, cross-over designed intervention study was conducted with freeze dried bitter gourd powder (2.5 g) to find out its hypoglycemic effect. In the first phase Group 1 (AB) started the bitter gourd juice (A) intervention followed by placebo (B), while the Group 2 (BA) started the supplementation with placebo (B) followed by bitter gourd (A). The intervention continued for a period of eight weeks. Between the two arms, 4 weeks were left as wash-out period to minimize the carry-over effect of one phase to the other. Cross over was done after the washout period. The mean initial fasting blood glucose level of pre diabetics in AB group was 110.66 mg/dl which reduced significantly (p<0.01) to 99.86 mg/dl at the end of intervention. In case of BA group the placebo treatment did not bring any appreciable change in FBG where as the bitter gourd treatment was found to have a significant (p<0.01) impact. No serious adverse effects were observed. The present study proved that the consumption of bitter gourd juice prepared with 2.5 g freeze dried bitter gourd powder (50g of the vegetable) reduced the fasting blood glucose and total cholesterol level among the pre diabetics.Keywords
