Abstract

Population studies have repeatedly demonstrated wide variation in the incidence of coronary heart disease among persons of different habits and modes of life from the same region. These differences are thought to be related to the serum cholesterol levels and dietary habits of people. The high rates of mortality and morbidity due to coronary heart disease is believed to be caused in part by diet, while there are many different views on what foods are associated with coronary heart disease.

Abstract

Several measures were undertaken by Government of India to provide food security to vulnerable sections of the society. Implementation of Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) in India has reduced the number of grade III malnourished children by 4 to 9 per cent in different regions of the country. However 1 to 3 per cent of children enrolled in ICDS programme continue to be in grade III malnutrition. Recognising the need to shift the grade II and III malnourished children to grade I and prevent severe forms of malnutrition, Government has recommended to supply double the quantity of supplement to grade III children through ICDS programme.

Abstract

Malnutrition among pre-school children is a common problem in oil developing countries including India. There are several approaches to combat malnutrition in preschool children. Of these approaches, dietary supplementation and nutrition education have been two commonly followed methods for combating malnutrition. Many of the methods of education provide very little contact between the mother and the nutritionist. Therefore, institutionalisation of children along with their mothers can provide greater scope for convincing the mothers about the diet of their children. They can practically observe the good effects of the suggested feeding schedule.

Abstract

Diet surveys are often used to collect the information about dietary intake of population groups. The nutrient intake which is computed from diet survey data is usually based on the assumption that nutrients present in the raw foods are more or less completely available to the human body.

Abstract

Legumes comprise a large group of foods. The term pulse, bean and legume are commonly used to designate the decorticated or whole seeds of leguminous plants. Legumes are nutritionally important for their contribution of protein and B vitamins. The protein per cent of legumes varies between 18 to 32i. Sulfur amino acids are the first limiting amino acids in legumes followed by tryptophan. Legumes are poor sources of minerals. Calcium and iron content of legumes are quite variable ranging from 80 to 100 mg and 5 to 10 mg per cent respectively.

Abstract

In developing countries such as India, where the protein malnutrition is prevalent, an adequate supply of good quality protein is important. Considering the low availability of foodstuffs to the growing population, fortification of foodstuffs is known to be economically and socially desirable method for eradication of malnutrition. Fortification of cereals with limiting essential amino acids improve the protein quality. During recent years, the possibility of fortifying cereal flours with oil seed proteins has received considerable attention.

Abstract

Pregnancy, lactation and preschool age are periods of considerable physiological stress, which calls for additional nutrient requirements. It becomes essential that these groups of population be ensured with sound nutritional care. The high incidences of prematurity, low birth weight babies and the consequent neonatal mortality are mostly attributable to maternal malnutrition. Since life for an infant starts before birth, during its prenatal stage, it becomes imperative that the attention is focused on the health and nutrition of the mother right from pregnancy to the lactating period.
