Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant vitamin that is important for collagen production, iron absorption, and immune function. It can be obtained through foods like citrus fruits, peppers and tomatoes. Dietary recommendations for vitamin C intake vary from 40 mg per day for infants to 75-90 mg for adults. While vitamin C supplements may help prevent the common cold, intake over 2000 mg daily can cause side effects like diarrhea. Deficiency can result in scurvy, but toxicity is rare when intake remains below upper limits.
Micronutrient deficiencies, also known as hidden hunger, affect millions of children and cause stunted growth, cognitive delays, and weakened immunity. Common deficiencies include iodine, vitamin A, iron, zinc, and calcium/vitamin D/folate during pregnancy. These deficiencies can be addressed through supplementation, food fortification, and biofortification programs. The National Plan of Action on Nutrition Malaysia III aims to reduce micronutrient deficiencies through universal salt iodization, prenatal vitamin distribution, and nutrition education.
Adults generally need fewer calories as they age, with recommended daily calorie intake ranges being 1600-2400 calories for those aged 23-50, 1400-2200 calories for ages 51-75, and 1200-2000 calories for ages 75 and above. Nutrient needs also change with age due to factors like declining organ function and changes in metabolism. Common health conditions that affect adults include heart disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, and prostate cancer, with risk influenced by diet and lifestyle habits. Meeting nutrition needs becomes more challenging for older adults due to physical and social factors.
This slideshow is to educate people that the Best Calcium Supplement is actually Calmodulin (CaM), which is the trasporter and regulator for Calcium ions to go into the cells. Without CaM, calcium cannot be absorped into the cell which leads to calcium defiency. Serious calcium defiency will cause osteopenia and even osteoporosis. Too much of calcium causes calcification. Therefore, calcium needs to be regulated and balanced by Calmodulin.
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that prevents scurvy, a disease characterized by bleeding gums and bruising. It was discovered in the 17th century that lemon juice prevented scurvy in sailors. Vitamin C is found in many fruits and vegetables and plays an important role in immune function, collagen production, iron absorption and cardiovascular health. A daily intake of 60 mg is recommended, though some research suggests higher intakes may provide additional health benefits. Without enough vitamin C, scurvy will develop due to a breakdown of connective tissues.

Micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals are essential for human growth, health and development. Certain vitamins like A, D, C, B vitamins and minerals like iron and zinc must be obtained through diet as humans cannot synthesize them in sufficient amounts. Deficiencies of these micronutrients can lead to various health conditions. For example, vitamin A deficiency causes xerophthalmia and increases risk of infections; iron deficiency leads to anemia; and zinc deficiency is associated with skin lesions and impaired immunity. Diagnosis of deficiencies is based on clinical signs and symptoms as well as laboratory investigations. Treatment involves dietary modifications and supplementation to correct the deficiencies.
Minerals are known to be extremely important building blocks of the human body. They are extremely important for proper nutrition and health. In case you do not have sufficient #minerals in your body, other nutrients will be unable to function properly too. This may lead to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Minerals help create a very healthy environment in which your body can grow and heal itself.
Nutritional requirements of elderly & dietary managementsowmiya Gunasekaran
The nutritional needs of the elderly change as they age. Their energy requirements decrease due to lower metabolism and activity levels. They require less carbohydrates, proteins and fats but enough vitamins, minerals, fiber and fluids. Their diets should focus on antioxidant rich foods to support immunity and bone health while avoiding high salt, spice or gas-forming foods which are hard to digest. Ensuring proper nutrition through balanced meals helps promote healthy aging.
This document discusses malnutrition, including its types, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. It defines malnutrition as a cellular imbalance between nutrient supply and demand. The three main types of acute malnutrition are marasmus, kwashiorkor, and marasmus-kwashiorkor. Malnutrition can be caused by inadequate food intake, absorption issues, or increased nutrient needs/losses from illness. Symptoms vary but include skin, hair, dental and vision issues. Diagnosis involves physical exams, tests of vitamins/minerals, and imaging. Treatment ranges from nutrition via tubes or IV to education on nutrition and family planning to prevent malnutrition.

What Is the Relationship Between Calcium and Vitamin D?Dr Carolyn Dean
Calcium is an essential mineral for a healthy, functioning body - particularly for building strong teeth and bones, as well as blood clotting, vessel and muscle contraction, hormone and enzyme secretion, and the efficient functioning of the central nervous system. As the most common mineral in the human body, calcium makes up about 2.3% of the body’s weight, most of which is stored in the bones.
Physiological and nutritional significance of minerals paper 3.pptxSanatsawant
1.Introduction :
“Minerals in food are the elements present in food that are required by our body to develop and function properly.”
2.Nutritionally important minerals are
a. Sodium: A) Nutritional Significance :-
Sodium is taken in diet along with chloride in the form of common salt.
Sodium is found in table salt, baking soda, monosodium glutamate, egg, meat, fish, dairy products, poultry, olives & pickled food.
The Recommended dietary allowance of sodium is in
Child :- 0.3 - 2.5 mg/day
Adult :- 1.3 - 5.0 mg/day
B) Physiological significance :-
Body needs small amount of sodium to help maintain normal B.P. & normal function of muscles and nerves.
Sodium is important in maintaining fluid balance as the concentration of sodium is directly related to the osmotic pressure of plasma .
b.Potassium:A) Nutritional Significance :-
K + is a major intracellular cation.
Normal concentration of K + in plasma is 3.5 – 5.0 Meq. per litre.
Main sources of potassium are banana, orange, potatoes, sweet potatoes, watermelon ,mushrooms, dried plums etc.
B) Physiological Significance :-
It influences muscular activity.
It is involved in regulation of acid-base balance.
It plays an important role in cardiac function.
c.Chloride: A) Nutritional Significance :-
Cl- is taken in the diet along with Na+ in the form of common salt.
Plasma volume of Cl- depends upon Na+ & HCO3- levels in plasma.
Low Na+ level is associated with low Cl- .
High Na+ level is associated with high Cl- .
High HCO3- is associated with low Cl- .
Low HCO3- is associated with high Cl- .
The sources of chloride are table salt, tomatoes, Olives , meats etc.
The recommended daily allowance of chloride is
In children = 1500 - 2300 mg /day
In Adults = 1800 - 2300 mg/day
B) Physiological Significance :-
It is important for the production of HCI in the gastric juice .
It is an essential part of digestive (stomach) juices .
Chloride is needed to keep the proper balance of body fluids .
d.Phosphorus:Nutritional Significance : -
Phosphorous is an important mineral for teeths and bones .
It is most widely distributed in foods such as milk, cheese, egg, nuts, meat etc.
About 85% of phosphorous in the body is stored in bones and teeths .
Recommended daily allowance of Phosphorous is,
In Childrens :- 1200 mg/day ( because bone formation and development is more rapid at this stage of life)
In Adults :- 700 mg/day
B) Physiological significance : -
It is used for the maintenance of bones and teeth.
It is used to produce DNA & RNA.
Phosphorous is required by the body for Creating, utilizing and storing energy.
e.Nutritional Significance :-
Calcium is an important mineral for bones & teeth .
It is widely distributed in foods such as milk, cheese, egg, beans, cabbage, etc.
Of the total Ca absorbed in the body 45 % bound to protein 45 % exists as diffusible Ca2+ & 10 % is complexed with anions.
Absorption of Ca depends upon Ca:P ratio & also vitamin D that promotes absorption of Ca from food .

Bacteria are everywhere, from even before birth. Babies are first exposed to small amounts of bacteria in the womb. Then, upon birth, they become inundated with microbes. Given the quantity of harmful bacteria, it is important for a baby to quickly gain its own bacterial defenses.
Dr. Carolyn Dean is a medical doctor and naturopath who has authored over 35 books. She explains that metabolism is the physiological process that breaks down food and converts it into energy to power the body's functions. A person's weight is determined by a combination of their calorie intake through food and drink and their physical activity level. The metabolic system mixes calories with oxygen to create energy. Even at rest, the body requires energy to perform essential processes like blood circulation, breathing, and cell repair and growth. A person's basal metabolic rate, the number of calories burned at rest, depends on factors like muscle mass, sex, age, and body composition. Additional factors that affect daily calorie burning are physical activity levels and
Until relatively recently, most neuroscientists believed that humans are born with all the neurons they are ever going to have. During childhood, we may produce new neurons to help build ‘neural circuits’, the pathways that serve as information highways connecting different locations of the brain. However, it was believed that once this neural circuit was established, adding new neurons would simply disrupt the flow of information throughout the brain, essentially disabling its communication system.

Bacteria are everywhere, from even before birth. Babies are first exposed to small amounts of bacteria in the womb. Then, upon birth, they become inundated with microbes. Given the quantity of harmful bacteria, it is important for a baby to quickly gain its own bacterial defenses.
Intermittent fasting is a diet that revolves around periods of fasting (no consumption of food) and eating on a regular schedule. Intermittent fasting has a number of advantages, including weight loss and management, as well as the prevention - and in some cases, the reversal - of some diseases.

A Review on Recent Advances of Packaging in Food IndustryPriyankaKilaniya
Effective food packaging provides number of purposes. It functions as a container to hold and transport the food product, as well as a barrier to protect the food from outside contamination such as water, light, odours, bacteria, dust, and mechanical damage by maintaining the food quality. The package may also include barriers to keep the product's moisture content or gas composition consistent. Furthermore, convenience is vital role in packaging, and the desire for quick opening, dispensing, and resealing packages that maintain product quality until fully consumed is increasing. To facilitate trading, encourage sales, and inform on content and nutritional attributes, the packaging must be communicative. For storage of food there is huge scope for modified atmosphere packaging, intelligent packaging, active packaging, and controlled atmosphere packaging. Active packaging has a variety of uses, including carbon dioxide absorbers and emitters, oxygen scavengers, antimicrobials, and moisture control agents. Smart packaging is another term for intelligent packaging. Edible packaging, self-cooling and self-heating packaging, micro packaging, and water-soluble packaging are some of the advancements in package material.

Chloride
Chloride is needed for the creation of gastric
juices. It is found in celery, tomatoes and
table salt.
Potassium
We need potassium for our nervous system,
heart function and muscle contraction. Foods
high in potassium include bananas, potatoes
and legumes.
Calcium
We need calcium for
strong bones, muscle
function, blood clotting
and the nervous system.
Foods high in calcium
include dairy products and
leafy vegetables.
Phosphorous
Phosphorous is vital for
converting food into ener-
gy, cell membrane function
and bone growth. It is
found in meats, legumes
and seeds.
Magnesium
Magnesium is essential for biochemical
functions such as nerve impulses and muscle
contractions, as well as regulating blood sugar
and blood pressure, among other things. Foods
high in magnesium include dark-green vegeta-
bles, whole grains, bananas, seeds and nuts.
Sodium
Sodium comes from salt.
Although too much salt
can be bad for us, we need
a certain amount to main-
tain fluid balance. We often
get more sodium than we
need through eating pro-
cessed foods.
