Hippocrates wisely stated back in 400 BC, “Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food”. Modern research has validated this doctrine. The science of nutrition is dedicated to learning about foods that the human body requires at different stages of life in order to meet the nutritional needs for proper growth, as well as to maintain health and prevent disease. A baby is born with a very high requirement for energy and nutrient intake per unit of body weight to provide for rapid growth. The rate of growth is the highest during the first year and declines slowly after the age of two, with a corresponding decrease in nutrient and energy requirements. During puberty, however, nutritional requirements increase sharply until this period of fast growth is completed. Adulthood begins at about the age of fourteen or fifteen for girls, and eighteen or nineteen for boys. An adult individual needs to balance energy intake with his or her level of physical activity to avoid storing excess body fat. Dietary practices and food choices are related to wellness and affect health, fitness, weight management, and the prevention of chronic diseases such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and diabetes. Nutrition describes the processes by which all of the food a person eats are taken in and the nutrients that the body needs are absorbed. Good nutrition like Pugos Nutrition can help prevent disease and promote health.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

Nutrition
1. NUTRITION
Nutrition is a critical part of health and
development. Better nutrition is related to improved
infant, child and maternal health, stronger immune
systems, safer pregnancy and childbirth, lower risk of
non-communicable diseases (such as diabetes and
cardiovascular disease), and longevity.
Healthy children learn better. People with adequate
nutrition are more productive and can create
opportunities to gradually break the cycles of poverty
and hunger.
Malnutrition, in every form, presents significant
threats to human health. Today the world faces a
double burden of malnutrition that includes both
undernutrition and overweight, especially in low- and
middle-income countries.
WHO is providing scientific advice and decision-
making tools that can help countries take action to
2. address all forms of malnutritionto support health and
wellbeing for all, at all ages.
This fact file explores the risks posed by all forms of
malnutrition, starting from the earliest stages of
development, and the responses that the health
system can give directly and through its influence on
other sectors, particularly the food system.

Human Nutrition:
Human nutrition deals with the provision of essential
nutrients in food that are necessary to support human
life and good health.
In humans, poor nutrition and an unhealthy diet can
cause deficiency-relateddiseases such as blindness,
anemia, scurvy, preterm birth, stillbirth and cretinism,
or nutrient excess health-threatening conditions such
as obesity and metabolic syndrome; and such
common chronic systemic diseases as
cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis.
Undernutrition can lead to wasting in acute cases,
3. and the stunting of marasmus in chronic cases of
malnutrition.

Carbohydrates:
Carbohydratesarereferred to as energy-givingfoods.
They provide energy in the form of calories that the
body needs to be able to work, and to support other
functions.
Carbohydrates are needed in large amounts by the
body. Indeed, up to 65% of our energy comes from
carbohydrates. They are the body’s main source of
fuel because they are easily converted into energy.
This energy is usually in the form of glucose, which all
tissues and cells in our bodies readily use.
For the brain, kidneys, central nervous system and
muscles to function properly, they need
carbohydrates. These carbohydrates are usually
stored in the muscles and the liver, where they are
later used for energy.
4. The main sources of carbohydratesare bread, wheat,
potatoes of all kinds, maize, rice, cassava, ‘shiro’,
pasta, macaroni, ‘kocho’, banana, sweets, sugar
cane, sweet fruits, and honey. Other foods like
vegetables, beans, nuts and seeds contain
carbohydrates, but in lesser amounts.
CLICK HERE
Proteins:
About 10–35% of calories should come from protein.
Proteins are needed in our diets for growth (especially
important for children, teens and pregnant women)
and to improve immune functions. They also play an
important role in making essential hormones and
enzymes, in tissue repair, preserving lean muscle
mass, and supplying energy in times when
carbohydrates are not available.
Pregnant women need protein to build their bodies
and that of the babies and placentas, to make extra
blood and for fat storage. Breastfeeding mothers
need protein to make breastmilk.
Sources of Protein:
5. The main sources of proteins are meats, chicken,
eggs, breastmilk, beans, ground nuts, lentils, fish,
cheese and milk.
All animal foods contain more protein than plants and
are therefore usually better sources of body building
foods. However, even though plant proteins are
usually not as good for body-building as animal
proteins, they can become more effective nutritionally
when both are mixed with each other.

Fats and Oils:
Fats and oils are concentratedsources of energy and
so are important nutrients for young children who
need a lot of energy-rich food. Fats can also make
meals more tasty and satisfying.Fat is found in meat,
chicken, milk products, butters, creams, avocado,
cooking oils and fats, cheese, fish and ground nuts.
Classification of Fats:
Fats are classified into saturated and unsaturated
fats. The classification is important to enable you to
advise your community about which fats can be
6. consumed with less risk to people’s health. Saturated
fats are not good for a person’s health.
Saturated: fats are usually solid at cool
temperatures. Eating too much saturated fat is not
good for a person’s health, as it can cause heart and
blood vessel problems.
Unsaturated: fats are usually liquid at room
temperature. These types of fats are healthy fats.
Examples include fats from fish, oil seeds (sesame
and sunflower), maize oil and ground nut oil and
breastmilk.
As a general rule, plant sources of fats are better for
a person’s health than the animal sources, because
animal fats contain more saturated fats.

Water:
You may remember from Study Session 1 that a 50
kg adult contains about 31 litres of water and a one
year old, 10 kg child contains nearly 8 litres of water.
7. Almost every part of the body contains large amounts
of water.
People can live without solid food for a few weeks, but
we cannot live without water for more than a few days.
An adult needs about 2–3 litres of water each day.
That is why giving drinks are so important when
people lose a lot of water, such as when they have
diarrhoea.
Water is essential for life. We need water for a
number of reasons:
For the body to make cells and fluids such as tears,
digestive juices and breastmilk
For the body to make sweat for cooling itself
For essential body processes — most take place in
water
For keeping the lining of the mouth, intestine, eyelids
and lungs wet and healthy
For the production of urine, which carries waste from
the body
