3. Concept of Nutrition
The concept of nutrition is never permanent and it
changes with the research and advancement in food
industry. The research literature published in top
notch journals in era 1980s regarding saturated
fats and oils like coconut and olive oil were defined as
not good for the human health. But today the
definition and label of coconut oil has changed from
unhealthy to healthy.

4. Social media is one of the biggest
influencing factor that will change the
nutrition industry globally
First, there is virtual visual experience
of food before odor and real vision.

5. “The increase in packed food
and dietary supplements is
changing the nutrition industry
completely. Specially the youth
that are looking for a quick
fix.

6. Nutrition is indeed complex and
controversial topic
It is high time to Bring the attention of our
generation in understanding the nutrition in an
interdisciplinary way.

7. Maximize your nutrition intake
Eat local
Humans are part
of the environment
and lives in a
symbiotic
relationship with
the environment. It
is the best to eat
according to your
immediate
environment
Understand Labels
With changing
laws, regulations,
and policies the
nutrient labels are
becoming complex
to understand.
Educate yourself
about basic good
and bad nutrients
Eat raw and
unprocessed
The processed food
is more shiny,
expensive but
unhealthy as
processing strips
out all the nutrients.
The cooking style i.e,
boiling, steaming
and frying makes a
big difference in the
nutrient
composition of your
food. talkwithnik

8. Food is a billion dollar
pleasure Industry
Everything is available
everywhere, it does not
matter if the country can
grow it or not. You will
find the summer country
vegetables in winter
countries and vice
versa.
This pleasure can be
defined in many ways to
different people
It is hard to define the
pleasure of eating as it is
very complex because
we respond to color,
taste and odor and
textures of the food. But
social media adds more
to the complexity of the
pleasure of eating

9. Understand food pleasure
and kids behaviour
The rising issue of obesity around the
globe is the urgent problem that needs
the attention of all the stakeholders and
community members, - government,
society, market, policy makers and most
importantly parents.
In the internet world, fast
communication through social platforms
makes it easy for the market to reach
youth easily. Therefore, parents needs to
make an intensive research on kids
eating and food choices on regular
basis.

10. Dear Parents, Want to make
an impact on your kids

11. Our senses are more attracted towards food
rich in sugar, high fat or other fast food
which is referred as junk food
It is because of our real and virtual
environment that makes these food
readily visible and available.
talkwithnik

12. People who eat healthy have usually trained themselves to
not derive pleasure from eating.
If you experience pleasure from eating then it will be a hard
journey to adapt healthy eating
100%
Total success!
You will have to change your environment and train your
mind or specifically neurons to eat healthy.
Use this strategy for your kids - by changing there environment,
books, and other sources where they learn about healthy food.
