Write your abstract here. NUTRITIOUS DIET:”PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE” AS this is a famous saying “PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE” means instead of falling ill and consulting doctor for various health problems ; It would be better to take a nutritious diet. So it is important to know the concept of Nutritious Diet. Nutritious diet promotes health and reduces the risk for death or disability. It has been found in surveys that changes in the dietary can reduce the cancer deaths. Unfortunately, poor eating habits are usually established during childhood And it has been seen that more than 60 percent of young people eat too much fat, and less than 20 percent eat the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables top the charts of nutritious diet as Fruits and vegetables provide essential vitamins and minerals, fiber, and other substances that are associated with good health. Low fat diets rich in fiber-containing grain products, fruits, and vegetables may reduce the risk of heart disease and some types of cancer. Milk products provide protein, vitamins and minerals and are the best source of calcium. However, calories and little else is provided by fats, oils, and sweets and should be used sparingly. Drinking enough water is also essential for body as it keeps it hydrated and helps in converting food into energy, carrying nutrients through the body, and removing waste. Eating a low-fat diet high in produce, whole grains, and dairy products cuts the risk of cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes as well. Not only that it also has positive impact on arthritis, asthma, cataracts, cognitive impairment and macular degeneration of the eye.
Even with a nutritious diet, there must be these essentials i.e. Calcium Vitamin D Vitamin B12 Vitamin E and supplements. Getting enough calcium helps prevent osteoporosis and consequently, reduces fractures. It may help lower blood pressure. Vitamin D improves the absorption of calcium. It may help prevent arthritis and certain cancers. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause serious neurologic disorders. Even borderline low levels have been tentatively linked with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, depression and cognitive impairment. A study of dietary intake of some thousands of women showed that those with the highest intake level of a variety of foods recommended dietary guidelines by dietician had lower death rate from all causes compared to those with the lowest level of intake. Foods scored as desirable included frequent servings of fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy, whole grains, lean meat and poultry. Deaths from cancer and cardiovascular diseases were especially reduced in those who obtained more of their calories from these foods, compared to others who consumed a less nutritious diet. So we can sum up that Nutritious diet is the solution of all problems.
