Nutrition and Diet Management

Nutrition is important for everyone. Humans need a wide range of nutrients to lead a healthy and active life. However, the requirement is different for every individual may it be an infant, growing child, pregnant/lactating women and elderly people. Healthy dietary practices begin early in life. Recent evidences indicate that under nutrition in utero may set the pace for diet related chronic diseases in later life. Breastfeeding promotes healthy growth and improves cognitive development, and may have longer-term health benefits, like reducing the risk of becoming overweight or obese and developing NCDs later in life. At the core of a balanced diet are foods that are low in unnecessary fats and sugars and high in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. The following food groups are essential parts of a balanced diet.
