  Proteins: it’s importance ● Proteinsare made from amino acids ● Protein in the form of enzymes and hormones is required for a wide range of vital metabolic processes in the body. ● Proteins supply the body-building material and help body growth and development in children and adolescents. ● In adults, it helps to maintain the losses that occur due to wear and tear. ● During pregnancy and lactation, additional protein is required for synthesis of foetal and maternal tissue. 01

  ● Micronutrients arevitamins and minerals that are required for our body in minute amounts to fight diseases, to support metabolic activities and protect against infections. ● Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin. It has important role in vision, immune functions and integrity of skin and mucus membrane. ● Vitamin C is an essential micronutrient and an antioxidant. It gives protection against infections. ● Iron is an essential element for the formation of hemoglobin in red blood cells and plays an important role in transport of oxygen.

  Why do weneed energy? ● Human beings need adequate energy to carry out their daily routine physical work, maintain body temperature, metabolic activity and to support growth. ● Energy requirement of an individual is based on daily energy expenditure. It is also dependent on age, body weight, level of physical activity, growth and physical status. ● Children including adolescents obtain 55-60% of their daily requirement of calories from carbohydrates. ● During pregnancy, additional energy is needed to support the growth of foetus and the health of pregnant women. 04

  Fat: Human health ● Fatis an important component of diet and serves a number of functions in our body. ● Vegetable oils are major dietary sources of essential fatty acids (EFA) and other unsaturated fatty acids called MUFAs (monounsaturated fatty acids) and PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids). ● Adults need to restrict intake of saturated fat (ghee, butter and hydrogenated fat). ● Animal foods provide high amount of saturated fat. ● Excess intake of saturated fat items like butter, ghee, and hydrogenated fat could lead to high blood cholesterol which is not good for health 05

  Obesity and nutrition ● Obesityis a state in which there is a generalized accumulation of excess fat in adipose tissue in the body leading to more than 20% of desirable weight and can even lead to premature death. ● Over-eating and reduced physical activity together lead to obesity. ● High intake of dietary fat also causes obesity. ● Complex behavior and psychological factors also cause over-eating and thus lead to obesity. ● Obesity and over-weight are caused by a chronic imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. 06
