Hello
everyone today in my first ever blog I will discuss something
new and different with you people. So let’s start by asking ourselves what
did we eat for lunch yesterday? ?Was it
a burger, a pizza, a vegetable sandwich or
just some tasty curry and rice.
Or did you
skip a meal?
Well
we all keep wondering what should we
eat to be healthy and fit but don’t worry
in the next few minutes I will try
to give you all a complete picture about
nutrition.Yyes you heard me right we
all come across this term quite often but
fail to understand the true meaning of
it so without any further delay let’s get
started.
Every living organism needs energy. Isn’t that true we see animals like
cows grazing in the fields, then another
example is that we humans have food
two to three times in a day. Now all this
food we eat is to obtain energy in the
body so we can say that food is the fuel
required by the body to function properly
and for the living organisms to survive. Humans perform all the day-to-day
activities like walking ,exercising, playing sports, dancing, climbing
etc by using the energy obtained
from the food they eat. But besides
all these do you all know that the
body also requires energy even when we
do not perform any physical activity like
say just sitting around doing nothing sleeping
or meditating. This is because that
energy is required by the body for biological
processes which continuously occur
in the body like breathing or beating
of the heart. Therefore
to produce energy food is the basic
requirement for everyone.
We as humans
have a writing
of food available to us to eat the
most simplest form of food is glucose, a simplest form of food because
a body can absorb glucose quickly
and provide instant energy. We all
know that sportsmen and athletes depend
on this glucose syrup for instant energy
also a glucose drip is given to patients
in the hospitals as they too need this instant energy but we all know it’s
not a complete form of food.
Food has
many more components which when eaten
together provide us with the required
energy. Let’s see what our daily diet
looks like. We consume foods like rice, potato and types of breads which provide
energy but not as quickly as glucose ,these foods contain starch which is
a complex form of glucose itself and this
starch is ultimately broken by the body
into glucose and therefore starch is
absorbed at a slower rate as compared to
simple glucose molecules now both these
components that is glucose and starch
belong to a family of carbohydrates
but other than carbohydrates
there are other families like
proteins fats and vitamins and minerals. So now let’s look at the various
food sources of these families since
all the contents in these families provide
energy. They are called as nutrients. When all these nutrients are present
in some form in our diet in the right
quantity we call that diet to be a healthy
and well balanced diet and the process
of consuming all these nutrients and
using them for the growth maintenance
and repair of our body is called
as nutrition. But what if all these
nutrients are present in an imbalanced
form in an individual’s diet that
is if the nutrients are in insufficient
quantities we say that the person
is suffering from under nutrition but
on the other hand what if any of these
nutrients are in excess quantities we
say that it’s over nutrition now both these
terms for an imbalanced form of nutrition
in one’s diet can be collectively
termed as malnutrition but commonly
we consider under nutrition as a
major aspect of malnutrition besides this
we all have heard the term deficiency.
Now deficiency occurs if an individual
fails to meet the daily requirement
of only a particular nutrient
thus it is very important for all
the nutrients to be present in a balanced
quantity in our diet for a healthy
and happy life so as promised we did
give you all the information you need
about a healthy diet but just so you
know our food eating habits have given
rise to some unusual myths related to
nutrition. Like for example some people
say that skipping breakfast helps you
to lose weight but the fact is research
shows that breakfast skippers tend
to overeat during the day so don’t go
by the logic that by skipping a meal you
tend to consume less food. So now since we have busted this well-known
myth with a very important fact I would like to tell you only one thing
eat well and stay healthy. If you liked
the session please leave in your valuable comments
and if you found this really informative
share it with your friends.
Thank you so much
