A steady rise in the death rate due to burns in Burns Intensive Care units of hospitals, reflect the enormity of the problems faced by the medical community. Accelerated protein break down of massive tissue injury and heat losses make extensive burns very difficult to treat. Successful nutritional therapy during this critical period is based on vigorous energy and protein therapy.

The strength of adult bone reflects factors that regulate bone quality (architecture) and density (bone mass or quantity of calcium deposited/unit of bone) acquired during childhood and adolescence. Near-maximal or peak bone mass of the vertebrae and femurs is achieved at the completion of pubertal development. Because inexorable loss of bone mass begins in mid-adulthood in normal people, the magnitude of peak bone mass determines individual risk of later development of osteopenia and osteoporosis-disorders of compromised bone strength that lead to bone fragility and increased fracture risk.- Soft Drink Consumption and Mental Health Outcomes among Boys and Girls in the Age Group of 17 - 23 Years

Mental health is defined as a state of well-being in which every Individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully and is able to make a contibution to her or his community. Adolescence is a developmental phase during which several of the mental health disorders of adulthood appear. Intake of sugar-sweetened beverages has been implicated as a likely contributing factor to the growing non-communicable disease rates including mental disorders among children and adolescents because sugared beverages represent a significant source of calorie consumption in this population.- Impact of Breakfast Pattern on the Nutrient Intake, Physical, Cognitive and Academic Performance of School Children

Schooling is a very important aspect in every chlid's iife. Aithough many ways to promote greater student performance have been tried, not many reaiize the importance of healthy iifestyie habits, particuiariy eating breakfast, it is vital for providing continuous source of energy for growth, play and work. The nutritional significance of breakfast can hardly be undermined. Breakfast eating helps children form healthy eating habits and supports nutritional intake and maintains healthy body weight.- Hypoglycemic Effect of Moringa oleifera (Drumstick) Leaf Powder on Human Diabetic Subjects and Albino Rats

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease epidemic with a global prevalence of 300 million people. In the Indian scenario, the WHO has estimated a sharp upswing in the number of diabetics from 19.4 million in 1995 to an expected 57.2 million by 2025, the chief reason being urbanisation and life styled besides heredity, race, age, nutritional status, stress, altered immune function, altered physiological and metabolic status, drugs and hormones.- Study on the Factors Contributing to the Nutritional Status of the Elderly

Ageing is a developmental process, part of the cycle, beginning at conception and ending with death, Old age is defined as the age of retirement, for it is at that time that the combined effect of ageing, social changes and diseases are likely to cause a break down in health. An increase in longevity and a decline in fertility have contributed to people living much longer today than ever before in the last 50 years. Among numerous environmental factors that modulate ageing, nutrition plays a significant role. The inseparable triad of nutrition, ageing and health is the logical basis for appropriate management of the problems that arise at the interface of these interdependent factors.- Investigation on the Phytochemicals Present in the Fruit Peel of Carica papaya and Evaluation of its Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Property

Background: Plants have the major advantage of being the most treasured and cheaper alternative supplies for drugs. Phytochemicals in fruits and vegetables have gained increasing interest among consumers and the scientific community as epidemiological studies have indicated that regular consumption of phytochemicals is related to a lower risk of non-communicable diseases.
Aim: The aim of the present study was to carry out qualitative and quantitative phytochemical analysis to establish the different classes of compounds present in the peel of indigenous fruit C. papaya using five different solvents and evaluate its antioxidant and antimicrobial property.
Methods and Material: Evaluate the antioxidant property of Carica papaya peel by radical scavenging methods and to elicit the most effective concentration of the extract with highest antimicrobial activity by measuring the diameter of zone of inhibition against five pathogens.
Results: The various extracts revealed the presence of phytoconstituents such as phenols, flavonoids and tannins in appreciable amounts and the antioxidant potential of papaya peel. Agar well method demonstrated that the species most sensitive to C. papaya peel among the gram-positive microorganisms was Bacillus subtilis, whereas among the gram-negative species the most sensitive was Klebsiella pneumoniae.

A cross sectional study was conducted to study the factors influencing fruit and vegetable consumption among five hundred school children aged 13 to 15 years. A structured questionnaire was administered to elicit data. Majority of boys had positive attitude towards health and physical outcome expectancy when compared to girls in fruit and vegetable consumption. When compared with the RDA, results indicated that the boys and girls consumed less quantity of energy, carbohydrate and protein.Keywords

Herbs and spices could be considered as authentic “functional foods”. They are used as medicines from traditional times. Spices are obtained from any part of a plant, from the seeds, leaves, barks, rhizomes, latex, stigmas, and floral buds. Recent researchers are focusing much on these culinary treasures to prove them as a functional food so that when consumed, can help in preventing diseases as well as to cure the existing ailments by providing phyto nutrient rich antioxidants. Phytochemicals in spices, which primarily serve in plant protection, are considered as boon of the 21st Century having less adverse effects when compared to modern drugs. This review article portrays some recent scientific findings about the antimicrobial activity of ginger, pepper, garlic, cloves, turmeric, nutmeg, cinnamon, chilli, tamarind and black mustard which are the commonly used spices that find a place in our day today life and have a distinct place in folk medicine in several of Asian countries.Keywords

Background: Custard apple or sugar apple can be called as a delicacy of dry region due to its very sweet delicate flesh. The peel of custard apple contains tannins, acetogenin and alkaloids which is beneficial in the treatment of several types of cancer and tumors. Methodology/Principal Findings: The present study was taken up to investigate the phytochemical composition, antimicrobial potential, antioxidant activity of the fruit peel wastes of custard apple. The phytochemical screening of the fruit peel revealed the presence of Carbohydrates, Saponins, Phenols and Terpenoids .The antioxidant property of the peel extract was evaluated using DPPH free radical scavenging and FRAP assay. The antimicrobial test results showed that the raw fruit peel extract had a great potential antimicrobial activity against all the bacteria and fungal species selected for testing.Conclusions/Significance: The results presented here may suggest that the raw fruit peel extracts possesses antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, and is therefore a potential source of ingredients for the food and pharmaceutical industry.Keywords

Globally, diabetes is among the top 10 causes of death. To investigate about the Body Mass Index, physical activity pattern and dietary pattern often leads to life threatening complications. An Ex post facto, survey was carried out among 500 type 2 diabetes using a pre-tested questionnaire from five diabetes specialty clinics. About 67% of the subjects were of normal weight. Physical activity was calculated based on the formula given by Sharkey and Gaskill and the scores of the all the subjects were below 20 indicating the sedentary activity pattern and very poor fitness. When the calorie intake of the subjects with diabetes was compared with the recommended dietary allowance, it was found that 68% of the subjects were ingesting excess calories, while 32% were consuming less than the recommended calories. The quality of diet of none of the subjects was adequate in calories. Results suggest that type 2 diabetes should be given intensive diet counseling to know about the importance of diet and physical activity in managing their blood sugar levels.Keywords
