The document discusses the history and definition of functional foods. It began in Japan in the 1980s with fortified foods and the first product being a soft drink containing dietary fiber in 1988. Functional foods are natural or processed foods that provide clinically proven health benefits. The largest markets are the US, Europe, Japan and others. Functional foods can help increase life expectancy and quality of life by potentially reducing diseases like CVD, cancer and osteoporosis. Common types include cereals, legumes, vegetables, fruits and probiotics containing various bioactive compounds and providing health benefits.
Nutrition is essential for health, development, and disease prevention. Good nutrition comes from eating a balanced diet and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Certain nutrients are particularly important for brain and cognitive development, especially during critical periods like pregnancy and early childhood. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and other compounds can help support cognitive functions like memory, attention, and decision-making. Ensuring adequate intake of critical micronutrients like iron, zinc, and iodine is especially important for early brain development and can significantly impact IQ on a population level.

malnutrion The World Bank estimates that India is one of the highest-ranking countries in the world for the number of children with malnutrition. The prevalence of underweight children in India is among the highest in the world and is nearly double that of Sub Saharan Africa with dire consequences for mobility, mortality, productivity, and economic growth.[5]
The 2017 Global Hunger Index (GHI) Report by International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) ranked India 100th out of 118 countries with a serious hunger situation. Amongst South Asian nations, it ranks third behind only Afghanistan and Pakistan with a GHI score of 29.0 ("serious situation").[6] The 2019 Global Hunger Index (GHI) report ranked India 102nd out of 117 countries with a serious issue of child wasting. At least one in five children under the age of five years in India is wasted.
India is one of the fastest growing countries in terms of population and economics, sitting at a population of 1.365 billion and growing at 1.5%–1.7% annually (from 2001 to 2007).[7][8] Though more than a quarter of the population is still living below the National Poverty Line[9] its economic growth indicates new opportunities and a movement towards increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases which is observed in at high rates in developed countries such as United States, Canada and Australia. The combination of people living in poverty and the recent economic growth of India has led to the co-emergence of two types of malnutrition: undernutrition and overnutrition.[10]
On the Global Hunger Index India is on place 67 among the 80 nations having the worst hunger situation which is worse than nations such as North Korea or Sudan. 25% of all hungry people worldwide live in India. Since 1990 there have been some improvements for children but the proportion of hungry in the population has increased. In India 44% of children under the age of 5 are underweight. 72% of infants and 52% of married women have anemia. Research has conclusively shown that malnutrition during pregnancy causes the child to have an increased risk of future diseases, physical retardation, and reduced cognitive abilities.[11][12]
An estimated 23.6% of the population of India live below a purchasing power of $1.25 a day. This poverty does not directly lead to malnutrition but it leaves a large chunk of the population without adequate amounts of food. This makes a lack of access to food since people are too poor to go out and purchase it.[13] According to the Registrar General of India, the mortality of children under the age of five was about 59 out of every 1000 live births which is one of the highest rates in the world. It is reported by Save the Children that this is mainly due to malnutrition in the children.[14] Poor nutrition within the first thousand days of a child's life can have many negative causes to them. It can lead to stunted growth, impaired cognitive ability, reduced school performance, and diseases like diarr

The document discusses recommendations for a mixed diet in Zambia based on the country's Food-Based Dietary Guidelines (FBDGs). It describes the six food groups which are cereals/starchy roots and tubers, poultry/fish/meat, vegetables, fruits, beans/pulses/nuts, and milk/dairy. It emphasizes eating a variety of foods from each group daily for proper nutrition. Whole grains, fruits and vegetables are highlighted sources of important nutrients.
Functional foods and nutraceuticals provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition. Functional foods contain antioxidants that fight free radicals and may reduce inflammation, disease risk, and support gut and immune health. Nutraceuticals are food substances with additional health benefits, including preventing diseases. Both may protect against nutrient deficiencies through fortification and protect against chronic diseases by providing antioxidants and nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids. They also promote proper growth and development by ensuring intake of nutrients like folate, DHA, and vitamins. Nutraceuticals show potential in cancer treatment by regulating genes and inhibiting overexpressed oncogenes. They also act as antioxidants, aid weight loss and treat diabetes and cardiovascular diseases by affecting insulin sensitivity and cellular metabolism
Why is it important to have a proper diet and nutritionDiechen
Proper diet and nutrition are essential for maintaining good health and well-being. A balanced and nutrient-dense diet that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, improve mental health, and support healthy aging.
Incorporating physical activity into our daily routine is also crucial for maintaining good health. Regular exercise can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, improve mental health, and increase overall well-being.
Creating a healthy lifestyle takes effort, but it is worth it in the long run. By making small changes to our diet and exercise habits, we can improve our health and well-being and prevent chronic diseases. It is never too late to start making healthy choices, and every step toward a healthy lifestyle counts.
