Webinar on “Poshit aahar - Jeevan ka adhaar”- Eat right India “World Nutrition week” Wednesday,
Food plays one of the most important role to build a healthy human body. Noteworthy is which food is to be taken and which is to be avoided. We can magnify this with help of nutrition.
Nutritious foods make human body healthy. Food is comprised of macronutrients including protein, carbohydrate and fat that not only offer calories to fuel the body and give it energy but play specific roles in maintaining health. Food also supplies micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) and phytochemicals that don't provide calories but serve a variety of critical functions to ensure the body operates optimally.
Proteins are found in non-veg like meat, fish seafoods, egg, as well as in vegetarian food like pulses soybeans, seeds and other legumes included in traditional Indian cuisines, protein provides the body with amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins which are needed for growth, development, and repair and maintenance of body tissues. Protein provides structure to muscle and bone, repairs tissues when damaged and helps immune cells fight inflammation and infection Whereas Carbohydrates also plays vital role to make a healthy and balanced diet. The main role of a carbohydrate is to provide energy and fuel the body the same way gasoline fuels a car. Foods such as corn, chayote, beans, plantains, rice, tortilla, potatoes, and other root vegetables such as yucca, bread and fruit deliver sugars or starches that provide carbohydrates for energy. Energy is the fuel of our daily life. It allows body to do our daily activities like walking, talking, running and moving objects. Even at rest, the body needs calories to perform vital functions such as maintaining body temperature, keeping the heart beating, and digesting food. Fats can also be healthier and non-healthier too. Amplifying into it, saturated and unsaturated fats are poles apart in terms of healthier food. Dietary fat, which is found in oils, coconut, nuts, milk, cheese, meat, poultry, and fish, provides structure to cells and cushions membranes to help prevent damage. Oils and fats are also essential for absorbing fat-soluble vitamins including vitamin A, a nutrient important for healthy eyes and lungs
