The FAO/WHO/UNU Expert Consultation on Energy and Protein Requirements adopted the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) as the basis of expressing energy requirements. The BMR is the amount of energy used for a series of functions that are essential for life. It is measured under standard conditions that include being awake in the supine position after 10 to 12 hours of fasting and eight hours of physical rest, and being in a state of mental relaxation in an ambient environmental temperature that does not elicit heat-generating or heat-dissipating processes.- Impact of Antioxtoant Vitamins E and C on the Lipid Profile of Hyperlipidemics

Throughout the twenty first century the health science focussed primarily on curing diseases with powerful drugs, more sophisticated diagnostic tests and more effective therapies. Today the emphasis is on health expectancy rather than life expectancy. Coronary heart disease is becoming an important cause of morbidity in India. Diet plays a very important role in increasing the blood lipids. Patients can improve lipid levels and decrease the rate of cardiovascular events by "adding" specific foods to their diets like fruits and vegetables that are rich in antioxidant vitamins like E, C and carotenoids. Vitamins E and C have proved to be potent antioxidants protecting lipids in plasma against oxidation. The present study thus aims at finding out the effect of synthetic and dietary antioxidants on lipid profile in hyperlipidemics. The specific objectives are to : study the socio-economic status, life style pattern and BMI of selected hyperlipidemic subjects and study their mean food intake and administer antioxidant Vitamins E and C and assess their impact.- Book Review

Progress in technological development, industrialisation and economic conditions have in addition to increasing the standard of living of people, created changes in food habits and life styles leading to health problems. The health problems that parallel economic development are largely those of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and cancer. All over the world, cardio vascular diseases (CVD) are now, recognised as one of the main causes of death in adults. Most cases of CVD result from narrowing of arteries due to fatty deposits called plaques. When a coronary artery is completely blocked, the result is a heart attack. Hyperlipidemia has been shown to be a major risk factor. Dietary excess of five specific food factors possibly implicated in hyperlipidemia are cholesterol, saturated fats, carbohydrates, total calories and alcohol. Among the dietary factors, the most important are the nature and quality of fat, type of fat and cholesterol intake.- Consumption Pattern of Fats and Oils and Serum Lipid Profile of Selected Adults-Part II

Research findings indicate that the short and medium chain fatty acids present in coconut oil, rapidly absorbed, digested and assimilated in the human body will not cause blood abnormality which are usually associated with the consumption of saturated fatty acids derived from other sources. Studies prove that the dietary fibre intake is significantly and independently associated with plasma total and low density lipoprotein cholesterol. Additionally high fibre intake is positively associated with high density lipoprotein cholesterol contributing to reduction in the ratio of low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein cholesterol.- Consumption Pattern of Fats and Oils and Serum Lipid Profile of Selected Adults-Part I

Despite the spectacular food production in India the per capita availability of food has not met the recommended allowances of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) resulting in undernutrition and malnutrition. With particular reference to pulse, the per capita availability has steadily declined over the years from 61g/day in 1951 to 33g/day in 1988. Added to this the market prices have escalated to levels well beyond the reach of the poor.- Book Review

Sodium modified diet play an important therapeutic role in the treatment of hypertension, cardiac and renal diseases. Diet with the sodium content of foods plus the sodium chloride added in the preparattion of food is the major source of sodium. Sodium content of common foods like rice, cabbage, coconut is not available and hence the contribution of sodium by diet cannot be computed. Hence, estimation of sodium content of recipes which constitute the diet and presentation of these in the form of a ready reckoner will be of practical use in the hospitals for diet planning and counselling. Hence with the above view in mind this study was undertaken with the following objectives: to select, standardize and evaluate the selected recipes, estimate sodium and potassium content of standardized recipes, classify recipes as very low, low, moderate, mild and high based on their sodium content, develop a ready reckoner and evaluate the developed ready reckoner.- Development of Risk Assessment Index for Diabetes Mellitus and Cardiovascular Diseases

In the context of the present energy crisis, solar energy is a boon to tropical countries like India, With the diminishing sources of cooking fuel, solar cookers can help a lot in reducing the cost of cooking and conservation of fuel of other uses. Microwave ovens are being used by housewives for conservation of time. The present research hence was conducted to compare the time taken for cooking and acceptability of cooked vegetables by the three methods and the carotene and ascorbic acid retention in the cooked vegetables.- Book Review

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.- Book Review

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.- Trends in Growth Performance of Indian Children and Development of Norms
