Foods which are generally grown in tribal locality, hilly and wasteland can provide a solution to the problem of food security and nutritional security especially to the people who are living near to such places. World over, tribal population still stores a vast local food cultures are inseparable from traditional knowledge on utilization of local plants as food therapeutic systems. Due to maximum utilization of such indigenous plants by tribal community these plant food are also sometime called as "tribal foods". These tribal fruits and vegetable are not a part of commercial orcharding like mango, banana, spinach, potato etc. but appear in market in small quantities and these are often referred also know as uncommon foods/ underutilized foods /under exploited foods/ neglected foods or indigenous foods. In the present review paper pertinent text and research related to the area has been presented.Keywords
Tribal Foods, Indigenous Fruits, Indigenous Vegetables.

Fruits and vegetables contain different nutrients and other components which help in maintaining healthy body. These components possess antioxidant activity. In recent times natural antioxidants have raised considerable interest among nutritionists, food manufacturers and consumers because of their presumed safety and potential therapeutic value. Dietary antioxidants, such as water-soluble vitamin C and phenolic compounds, as well as lipid-soluble vitamin E and carotenoids, present in vegetables contribute both to the first and second defence lines against oxidative stress. As a result, they protect cells against oxidative damage, and may therefore prevent chronic diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Naturally occurring antioxidants are capable of inhibiting the ill effects of free radical damage to human body system, but their consumption also boost the body's endogenous antioxidant mechanism to combat oxidative stress. Natural ingredients in food are considered safer option than synthetic additives. This review paper presents different natural antioxidants present in fruits and vegetables.Keywords

Anti oxidant content of food is one of the key components which help in maintaining the healthy living. Keeping this thing in view, the present study had been conducted on forty one indigenous plants to know their antioxidant potential. Part of the plant utilized by the tribal community were analysed for its vitamins content (i.e. vitamin-C and β-carotene), non- nutrient component (i.e. oxalic acid and tannin) and total per cent of antioxidant inhibition activity by using DPPH. The present study concluded that the indigenous plants consumed in tribal areas are rich in antioxidant content and can be used in daily diet. Hence these indigenous plants may be recommended to achieve healthy living.Keywords

The cross sectional community based study was conducted to assess the prevalence of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and its associated factors among college going girls (20-30 years) residing in hostels of U.S. Nagar district of Northern India. The data on 250 subjects was obtained using self-designed pre-tested questionnaires during March to June 2018. Information was collected on menstrual and clinical history, dietary history, physical activity parameters and general information of subjects. The data was presented in percentages; chi square analysis, correlation analysis and rate ratio was also used to analyze the association between dependent and independent variables. The results showed that the prevalence of PCOS was 6% as evaluated by clinical diagnostic tool used in the questionnaire. A total of 18.4% subjects reported variable or long menstrual cycles, 6% subjects reported less than 9 menses annually and 7.2% subjects reported irregular menses with weight gain. A significant association was found between PCOS and high body mass index values and sedentary physical activity level. It was found that overweight and obese subjects have seven times higher risk of developing PCOS as compared to underweight and normal individuals. Also subjects with sedentary physical activity level have eight times higher risk of developing PCOS as compared to their counterparts with moderate physical activity. No strong association was found between PCOS and fast food consumption. The study concluded that body mass index and physical activity level of subjects were associated with poly cystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) using rate ratio as a tool. The study results indicate the need to conduct large study on PCOS in India.Keywords

Ginger an Indian spice: Many Indian spices play a significant role in food preparation and act as an important ingredient. Every spice has its own flavour and essence which helps in making that spice unique and thereby delicious dish. Apart from making food tasty, spices also come with notable nutritional values and provide some major health benefits. Spices have a traditional history of use, with strong roles in cultural heritage. Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rose.) is one of important commercial spice crop in tropical and subtropical region. The rhizome is used worldwide as spices for flavouring in a number of food-products and also used in medicine. Apart from being a spice in a recipe, ginger can be used as processed products such as ginger Sherbet, candy, pickle, etc. Ginger used in traditional medicine, has been found to possess antioxidant effect that can control the generation of free radicals. The main bioactive components of ginger possess antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory attributes. It is effective for the treatment of inflammation, rheumatism, cold, heat cramps and diabetes. Several studies suggest that ginger may work better than placebo in reducing different health related issues.- Physical Growth and Nutritional Status Assessment of School Going Children Residing in Western and Eastern Uttar Pradesh, India

Uttar Pradesh is the largest state of India in population and fourth largest state in terms of area. On the basis of its large size, diverse geography, climate and topography, the state has been divided into 4 regions, namely Western, Central, Eastern and Bundelkhand. Present study was conducted with an objective to assess physical growth and nutritional status of school going children age 6-14 years, residing in western and eastern Uttar Pradesh (UP), India. Survey was conducted at Bulandshahr district in western region and Chandauli district in eastern UP. The multistage stratified random sampling was used for identification of schools. Data was collected from 38 schools (Western Uttar Pradesh 20 schools and Eastern Uttar Pradesh 18 schools). Selected children in Western Uttar Pradesh (WUP) were 413 (Male 186 and Female 227) and in Eastern Uttar Pradesh (EUP) total children were 340 (Male 167 and Female 173). The clinical signs and symptoms examination was carried out for prevalence of macro and micro nutrients deficiencies. Anthropometric measurements i.e. body weight, height and mid upper arm circumference were measured. Body Mass Index (BMI) was calculated as weight/ height2 to assess chronic energy deficiency. Physical growth of children was assessed by height for age (stunting) and BMI for age (under and over weight) by using z score suggested by WHO. Physical growth of the children was compared with WHO growth standards. Present study revealed that the overall mean height of children from both the regions were lower than the WHO standards however, height and weight measurements exhibit uniform increase with age in both the sexes. Prevalence of sever stunting was higher among boys and girls of WUP in comparison with EUP. The clinical signs and symptoms of protein deficiency were noticed tripe among girls than boys in both WUP and EUP. This indicates that overall girls were not receiving adequate protein in the diet. However symptoms of vitamin A and B complex deficiency were higher in boys of both the regions.Keywords
