All About Nutrition | A Healthy Diet Plan 

Hello Everyone

Today let's discuss something new and different and in order to do 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 all of us keep wondering what should we eat to be healthy and fit. But don't worry in this post, we will try to give you all a complete picture about nutrition.

Yes, you heard me right. All of us come across this term very 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?

Food and nutrition are the way that we get fuel, providing energy for our bodies. We need to replace nutrients in our bodies with a new supply every day. We see animals like cows grazing in the fields then another example is that we humans have food two to three times 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 an essential requirement for everybody.

We as humans have a varity of foods available to eat the simplest form of food is glucose 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 near this instant energy but we all know it's not a complete form of food. food has many more components that provide us the required energy.

Let's see what our daily diet looks like we consume foods like rice potato and types of bread which provides 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 in 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 the 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 known as nutrition. But what if all these nutrients are present in an imbalanced form in an individual's diet is if the nutrients are in insufficient quantities we say that the person is suffering from undernutrition.

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 undernutrition 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 amount in our diet for a healthy and completely 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. 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 we would like to tell you only one thing eat well and stay healthy.
