Nutraceuticals is a broad umbrella term that is used to describe any product derived from food sources with extra health benefits in addition to the basic nutritional value found in foods.Nutraceutical, a portmanteau of the words “nutrition” and “pharmaceutical”, was coined in 1989 by Stephen L. DeFelice, founder and chairman of the Foundation of Innovation Medicine.[1] The term is applied to products that range from isolated nutrients, dietary supplements and herbal products, specific diets and processed foods such as cereals, soups, and beverages.
It's the toughest job to represent all preservatives which are used in food and beverage industry though I tried my best to depict them in a short.
Thank You.

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
In today's fast-paced and convenience-driven world, maintaining a healthy diet can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. With so many options available, it's easy to make unhealthy food choices. That's where the food pyramid comes in.
The food pyramid is a vital tool that helps individuals make informed decisions about their daily food intake, guiding them towards a healthy and balanced diet.
By understanding how the food pyramid functions and its significance in promoting well-being, individuals can unlock the secret to eating nutritiously and living a healthier life.
In this article, we will delve into how the food pyramid acts as a compass for individuals, offering valuable guidance on making informed choices and ensuring that consume a healthy and balanced range of nutrients to achieve optimum health.

9. The knowledge of the Functional Foods that will enable us to have
the healthy life.
Food, Nutrition, and Health are the THREE sides of FOOD
PYRAMID
Healthful food choices are that no one food is either good or bad
— how much and how often you eat a food is what counts.
A food pyramid delivers three important messages:
Variety: no single food gives you all the nutrients you need
Moderation: smaller blocks- consumed in small amounts, every food is
valuable.
Balance: different sizes show that a healthful diet is balanced, i.e. the
right amount from each food group
1. an overview of the basics of nutrition,
2. the role of good nutrition in the prevention and treatment of common
disease,
3. to help you understand the food choices that promote health,
4. choose the foods that contain needed nutrients,
5. select appropriate serving sizes.

10. We all need the same nutrients, but the amounts we
need depend on our age, sex, and a few other
factors.
Functional Foods:
• “Functional Foods are the certain foods or food
components that may provide health and wellness
benefits beyond basic nutrition and may play role in
reducing or minimizing the risk of certain diseases
and other health conditions.”
Examples of Functional Foods:
• fruits and vegetables, whole grains, fortified or
modified or enriched or enhanced foods and
beverages, special dietary supplements

11. A healthful lifestyle means a balanced diet and physical
activities, every day
Functional foods provide additional health benefits apart
from the taste, price and portion of foods but also nutritional
values.
Products like: calcium and vitamin C enriched orange juice,
low-fat yogurt and fiber enriched snacks, whey protein coco
beverage powder, etc.

content of nutrients or components
Fortified products: increasing the content of existing
nutrients

14. Nutrients are sorted into categories on the basis of their
chemical structures and functions.
Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats contained in foods are known as the
macronutrients,
Macronutrients are required in the largest quantities.
Macronutrients provide energy in the form of calories.
Vitamins and minerals are known as the micronutrients,
Micronutrients are required by our body in much smaller quantities.
Micronutrients provide no energy (calories) themselves.
Water is also an essential, calorie- free nutrient, but provide
micronutrients – minerals.
you are a consumer of functional foods
If your breakfast the morning included calcium-fortified
orange juice,
drinking milk with added Whey proteins
Eating Parathas made with folate-iron enriched flour, ect.

coined from NUTRition and pharmACEUTICAL
in 1989 by Stephen DeFelice, MD, Founder
and Chairman of the Foundation for
Innovation in Medicine (FIM).
• An Apple a Day Keeps Doctor Away
• Let Food Be Your Medicine

18. Counting the Calories in Food
When you read that a serving of food — say, one
banana — has 105 calories, that means
metabolizing the banana produces 105 calories of
heat that your body can use for work.
How the calories measure up in 1 gram of the
following foods:
• Protein: 4 Kcalories / 1gm
• Carbohydrates: 4 Kcalories / 1gm
• Alcohol: 7 Kcalories / 1gm
• Fat: 9 Kcalories / 1gm

19. How Many Calories Do You Need?
Think of your energy requirements as a bank
account. You make deposits when you consume
calories. You make withdrawals when your body
spends energy on work. Nutritionists divide the
amount of energy you withdraw each day into
two parts:
• The energy you need when your body is at rest
• The energy you need to do your daily “work”
To keep your energy account in balance, you need
to take in enough each day to cover your
withdrawals.

• g Gram (1 g = 1000 mg)
• mg Milligram (1000 mg = 1 g)
• mcg, μg Microgram (1000 mcg = 1 mg)
• IU International Units
(used for vitamins A, D, and E)
