It makes absolute sense to assist your body in eliminating wastes and toxins by eating liberal amounts of alkaline-rich foods.
If your body is overly acidic, you may feel low energy…find it difficult to lose weight…experience poor digestion…suffer from aches and pains…and even fall victim to more serious disorders due to poor body alkalinity.
The document discusses nutritional assessment for BScN students. It defines nutritional assessment as collecting and interpreting data to determine nutritional status. The four components of assessment are anthropometric, biochemical, clinical, and dietary methods. Anthropometric measurements include height, weight, skin signs. Biochemical tests measure substances in blood. Clinical methods consider disease states and symptoms. Dietary methods estimate energy needs. Nursing diagnoses for malnutrition include imbalanced nutrition and risk of infection. Preventive measures include supplements, diet modification, and health education. The document also defines undernutrition and overnutrition, and their causes and signs.
Alexander the Great of Macedonia invaded parts of India in his conquests and encountered King Porus of the kingdom of Punarnava, who had a powerful army that included war elephants; however, Alexander outmaneuvered Porus by crossing the Chenab River downstream at night and launching a surprise attack on Porus's forces the next day, causing confusion among the elephants and defeating Porus, who was captured; impressed by Porus's valor, Alexander released him and returned his kingdom when Porus replied that he should be treated "like a king" after Alexander asked how he wanted to be treated following his defeat.

Nutrition & You is a textbook that discusses nutrition and factors influencing food choices. It defines nutrition as the science studying how nutrients in food nourish the body. The six essential nutrient categories are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water. While a well-balanced diet meets nutrient needs, many Americans consume too many calories, sugar, saturated fat and sodium and not enough fiber and nutrients like vitamin D. This contributes to high obesity and chronic disease rates. Healthy People 2030 aims to improve the American diet and reduce preventable diseases.
- Calorie is the standard unit used to measure the energy value of food and human energy expenditure. Various methods can be used to measure energy including direct calorimetry, indirect calorimetry, and determining respiratory exchange ratio.
- The human body derives energy through several pathways including glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain. Carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and alcohols can all be broken down to produce energy.
- Factors like basal metabolic rate, physical activity, and the thermic effect of food determine total energy expenditure, while energy intake and energy balance impact body weight and health. Regular physical activity provides numerous health benefits.
This document discusses protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) in adults and young children. PEM in adults is predominantly due to negative energy balance from starvation, malabsorption, anorexia, or increased energy requirements. PEM in young children manifests as kwashiorkor or marasmus. Kwashiorkor is characterized by edema and a "moon face" due to a low-protein, high-carbohydrate diet leading to hypoalbuminemia. Marasmus is severe malnutrition seen as extreme muscle wasting and a "monkey-like face" due to inadequate caloric intake triggering muscle breakdown. Both conditions carry high mortality risks of 20-50%.
It is natural and necessary to gain weight during pregnancy, with the average being 25-35 lbs. Nutritional needs increase during pregnancy, including protein and vitamins/minerals that are essential for fetal development. Common concerns during pregnancy include nausea, constipation, heartburn, and pregnancy-induced hypertension. A healthy diet is important, while avoiding alcohol, drugs, tobacco, and limiting caffeine intake. Lactation requires extra nutrients as breast milk production demands additional calories. Breastfeeding provides antibodies and proper nutrition for infant growth and development.
This document discusses nutrition, dietetics, and protein. It defines nutrition as the science of food and its relationship to health. Dietetics is defined as the practical application of nutritional principles, including meal planning for healthy and sick individuals. The document then classifies foods by origin (animal or vegetable), chemical composition (proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals), and predominant function (body building, energy giving, protective). Several pages are devoted to discussing protein in detail, including essential and non-essential amino acids, sources of protein, and assessing the nutritive value of proteins. The protein requirement for different groups is also outlined.

This document discusses healthy eating and nutrition. It defines food and the essential nutrients found in food, including carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. It then explains the major nutrition elements - protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals, water - and their importance. A balanced diet containing foods from the five food groups is recommended for good health, including breads/grains, fruits and vegetables, dairy, proteins, and fats in moderation. Following a balanced diet and making healthy choices supports overall well-being.
Diet-related diseases like coronary heart disease and obesity are on the rise due to decreasing physical activity and increased consumption of fast food and processed foods. Lack of exercise is caused by more sedentary lifestyles and jobs as well as increased use of automobiles and technology. Overeating high fat, high sugar foods leads to weight gain and health issues like high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease over the long run. Religious groups like Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Sikhism each have their own dietary requirements and restrictions.

Introduction to Nutrition & Diet
About Calories & Balance Diet
Daily Caloric Requirements for different age of groups
Food Groups & their Roles in balance diet.
1. The document discusses maternal nutrition during pregnancy, outlining nutrient requirements and dietary guidelines. It covers topics like pre-pregnancy nutrition, ideal weight gain, increased needs for calories, protein, iron and other nutrients during pregnancy.
2. Nutritional concerns during pregnancy like nausea, constipation and heartburn are addressed, along with interventions like eating small frequent meals and staying hydrated.
3. Inadequate or excessive weight gain is also covered, noting the risks and recommended rates of gain depending on pre-pregnancy BMI. Maintaining a balanced diet according to daily food group guidelines is emphasized.
This document discusses sugar and its effects on health. It begins by introducing different types of sugar and their uses in the body. While sugar provides energy, too much added sugar can be harmful. Artificial sugars in sodas and processed foods may be particularly unhealthy as they provide calories without nutrients. Excess sugar consumption is linked to increased risk of obesity, dental cavities, and other health issues like heart disease and cancer. The document advocates reducing added sugars and choosing whole, minimally processed foods instead.
A balanced diet contains the right types and amounts of foods and drinks to supply nutrition and energy for health. It should provide 50-60% of calories from carbs, 15-20% from protein, and 25-30% from fat. Important factors for a balanced diet include knowledge of daily nutrient needs, selecting foods to meet those needs, and proper meal planning, preparation, and serving. A balanced diet promotes health, prevents disease, improves quality of life, and enhances cognitive and physical abilities. Dietary standards refer to the optimal intake of digestible nutrients supposed to best suit humans under different conditions and are used for diet planning and evaluation.
The document provides information and recommendations about eating a healthy, balanced diet according to the food pyramid guidelines. It discusses the importance of eating a variety of foods from all major food groups each day, including vegetables, fruits, grains, dairy, proteins, and fats in moderation. Specific foods are highlighted for each group along with serving size recommendations to aim for a nutritious diet.
Malnutrition is a condition that develops from an imbalance of nutrient intake and the body's needs. It can manifest as protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) in various forms including kwashiorkor, marasmus, and marasmic-kwashiorkor. Kwashiorkor is characterized by edema and results from insufficient protein intake while marasmus is caused by lack of energy intake leading to wasting. PEM is assessed clinically through measurements, lab tests, and evaluating functional criteria to determine severity and appropriate treatment.
The document provides information on calculating diets for individuals with different energy requirements based on their activity levels and gender. It gives dietary guidelines and energy and nutrient contents of various foods. It then shows examples of calculating diets that meet the energy needs of a person requiring 2400 kcal/day, a man doing heavy work needing 3490 kcal/day, and a woman with a sedentary job needing 1900 kcal/day.
