Foods of Winter Season
High protein, adequate fat, less carbohydrate.
More solids- delayed digestible for sustained release of calories.
Less fluids other than water, least semi-solids.
Food capable of producing warm effect.
More non-vegetarian food. During summer, as the day time is longer, stomach should not be empty, therefore, three or four helping of semi-solids/fluids/fruits is very helpful. During winter, as the night time is longer, stomach should be kept full in night with such solids which are easily digestible and of high caloric value. As per Ayurveda, during night and early morning(pre-dawn) vat is high, and during day pit is increased and from evening to early night cough rises. Therefore, in the morning vatic food, in the day pittaj food and in the evening kaphaj food should be avoided. Water should be consumed at room temperature during summer and rainy seasons. During winter, water should preferably be kept at luke warm temperature all the time. Whatever the season, hot beverages having caffein should be avoided in the evening.
Child Nutrition
It is the duty of parents to take care of their child nutritional requirement as kids don’t really pay attention to consuming healthy foods that provides essential nutrients required by the body. Nutritional Requirements Fibre: Breakfast should contain rich diet with loads of fiber and other vital nutrients. All plants food such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seeds and beans have fiber. Protein: The nutrition requirement of protein of a four- to six-year old child is about 24 grams day and 28 grams for seven- to ten-year-olds. Therefore, daily meals should be of food high in protein content. High protein foods are eggs, milk, yoghurt, cheese, fish, beef and chicken. Calcium: Children in the age group of four- to eight-years need 800mg of calcium per day and 1,300mg for nine- to thirteen-year-old kids. Dairy foods are very high in calcium. Iron: Kids need 10mg of iron every day. Iron can be found in lean meats, poultry, fish, dried beans and whoe grains. Sunlight: It acts as a good source of vitamin D and kids need l5mcg of vitamin D per day. Vitamins: Children in the age group of four to six years need 500mcg of vitamin A, whereas, children in the age group of seven to ten years require 700mcg of vitamin A per day. Vitamin A which helps in improving vision is found in green veggies. Children also need 45mg of vitamin C per day. Blueberries, oranges, kiwi, cantaloupe and strawberries are good sources of Vitamin C.
Adolescent Nutrition
It is the transition period between childhood and adulthood, and a time of life that begins at puberty. Puberty typically occurs between ages 12 and 13 for girls, while for boys, it occurs between ages 14 and 15. Adolescence is one of the fastest growth periods of a person’s life. During this time, numerous body changes occurred due to increased level of hormones. Nutritional health at this stage very is important for supporting the growing body and for preventing future health problems. During puberty, there is an increased demand for energy, protein, minerals, and vitamins due to intense growth. Energy: Additional calories are required to provide energy for growth and activity. Adolescent boys ages 11 to 18 need between 2,500 and 2,800 calories each day, and approximately 2,200 calories for girls. Teens should eat a variety of healthful foods to obtain these calorie needs, such as lean protein sources, low-fat dairy products, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Proteins:: Adolescents need between 45 and 60 grams of protein each day for growth and maintenance of muscle. Protein is available in beef, pork, chicken, eggs, and dairy products, and also from certain vegetable sources, including tofu and other soy foods, beans, and nuts. Minerals: During adolescence, about 150 mg of calcium must be retained each day to allow for the increase in bone mass. Female adolescents need higher iron of 15 milligrams each day than boys of 12 milligrams. Iron is required for haemoglobin synthesis and is crucial for expansion of blood volume and for myoglobin needed for muscle growth. As female adolescents lose 0.5 mg of iron per day by way of menstruation, Anaemia and iron deficiency is inclined if this lost iron is not replaced. Beef, chicken, pork, legumes, enriched or whole grains, and leafy green vegetables such as spinach, collards are good sources of iron. Vitamins: Adolescents need plenty of vitamins during their growth spurt. The requirement of B1 (thaimin), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), and vitamin B3 (niacin) rises with increased caloric intake. B-Complex Vitamin is present in whole cereal and pulses, fruits & vegetable. Vitamin C is found in citrus fruits & fresh leafy vegetables. Vitamin A, needed for good vision, is available in green leafy vegetables like spinach, bathua methi etc, and yellow or orange fruits like papaya, mango. Vitamins D, E, K are necessitated for healthy bones, teeth & clotting of blood.
Adult Nutrition
Adult needs a good balanced diet to keep the body fit and to prevent from obtaining diseases. A person can easily gain weight leading to several harmful diseases including obesity if not careful. Therefore a person should aware of the changes in their body composition, as well as nutritional requirements to remain healthy. Making smart food choices early in life and through adulthood can also help reduce the risk of certain conditions such as obesity, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, certain cancers and osteoporosis. Vitamins and minerals are an important part of nutrition for adults. Vitamins are required by the body in small amounts to regulate metabolism and to maintain normal growth and functioning. Likewise, minerals are vital because they are the building blocks that make up the muscles, tissues, and bones. Some key factors of a healthy diet: >>One should eat wide variety of foods at regular intervals of time. >>Fruits and vegetables are a must to be taken. >>Maintain a healthy body weight to avoid unwanted extra calories. >>Foods should be rich in carbohydrates. >>One should drink plenty of fluids. >>Fats and salt intake should be balanced.
Geriatric Nutrition
As a person ages, physiological changes take place. At this stage, the body fat increases, while the muscle and bone weight decreases. Therefore, nutritional needs also change, and energy requirements are less as the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) starts decreasing from the age of 35. To maintain an ideal body weight as per age and body frame, calorie intake should be reduced. Although protein, minerals and vitamins requirements remain unchanged, higher intake of minerals and vitamins especially calcium, iron and B complex vitamins are crucial for the processes of digestion, absorption and utilization.
Food and Healing
Food plays a vital role in healing when our body is suffering from an ailment. It is up to an individual to stay fit and strong by utilizing the appropriate nutrients. If nutrients are sufficiently provided in the diet, healing mechanism also takes place within the body.
Skipping meals or taking excessive amounts of a certain food should be avoided. One should eat when actually hungry and not eat out of boredom to function properly. And, our body also obtains toxins, which weaken immunity through food intake, but it has to be cleaned constantly.
Symptoms like headache, backache, indigestion, or fatigue occurred when toxins are high. Hence, fasting, eating light meals and drinking lots of fluids are helpful to detoxify our body. Healthy eating habits can stimulate the immune system, which acts as a resistance to infections such as common cold, stomach disorders, and chronic fatigue.
In 400 BC, Hippocrates, the father of medicine, said “Let thy food be thy medicine.”

Digestive System
Digestion is the process of breaking down the different varieties of food we eat into chemicals, and transported them to every part of our body by our circulatory system. The digestive process begins in the mouth, where foods are chewed by the teeth after mixing with saliva, and, then the consumed food is transferred to the stomach through esophagus. On reaching stomach, food is passed into small intestine, while some of the enzymes acted upon on it for further break down and release of nutrients until it is small enough to pass through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream. On the other hand, food that cannot be digested passes into the large intestine, where some water gets absorbed by colon. Later, the solid waste, the feces, is then expelled from the body through the rectum and anus. Factors affecting Digestion and Absorption of Nutrients Mouth: Any diseases that affect the mouth can have an impact on food intake- irritations, dental caries, mouth sores Esophagus: Irritation of the lower esophageal sphincter from gastric reflux or alcohol Stomach: Gastritis from alcohol, stress, or overtraining Small intestine: Malabsorption from celiac disease or Crohn’s disease or other inflammation (often from alcohol) Large intestine: Crohn’s disease irritation, with possible bowel obstruction associated with a fluid and electrolyte imbalance Drugs: Certain drugs may also have an impact on the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Antibiotics destroy the intestinal microflora (bacteria) that assist in digestive and absorptive processes and that are even involved in creating certain nutrients, such as vitamin B12. Some Tips for Better Digestion Eat in a comfortable atmosphere. Chew your food slowly and properly. Don’t talk when you eat. Avoid excessive intake of water while eating, but, for poor digestion, drinking peppermint tea is beneficial. Eat at regular meal times. Avoid eating late night heavy meals as our digestive system slows down in late hours. The most common cause of indigestion is overeating. So leave some space in your stomach before you are full. Take a light walk after having your meal as physical activity enhances our digestive system.
Basic Nutrition
Proper nutritional planning is a must to sustain a healthy lifestyle besides satisfying our hunger. Therefore, knowledge of nutrition is essential so that people live in the best of their health, improve their abilities, and sustain and enjoy increasingly diverse lifestyle. Major nutrients Nutrients are divided into two parts as macronutrients and micronutrients. All macronutrients provide energy in variable measures, whereas micronutrients, like iron and cobalt, are protective in nature. Some of the major nutrients in food which provide energy and essentials for our continued existence are: Carbohydrates: It is our main source of energy and is recommended that 55-60% of our daily calories should come from complex carbohydrates find in sugar, bread, cereals and vegetables. Proteins: Protein found in meat, fish, pulses, legumes, is essential for body’s growth and development. Nearly 25-30% is recommended for daily intake. Fats: Fat is also an essential component of our diet, especially in childhood, as it helps in brain development. At least 10-15 % of daily calories are suggested, though excessive intake may lead to many health problems. Fat is found in fried foods, cheese, butter, margarine and oils Vitamin and Minerals: Although vitamins and minerals are required in very tiny amount by our body, they are equally essential as other nutrients. Vitamins and minerals are usually known as protective nutrient, as they protect us from several ailments by strengthening our immune system. Vitamin A, B, C, D, E and K are the most common vitamins. Fruits and vegetables are main sources of vitamins. Minerals can be found in varying amounts in a variety of foods such as meat, cereals, fish, milk and dairy foods, vegetables, fruit (especially dried fruit) and nuts. Three main reasons why minerals are important: * building strong bones and teeth * controlling body fluids inside and outside cells * turning the food we eat into energy Essential minerals are: Calcium, iron, salt, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and sulphur.
Food and Nutrition
To lead an active and healthy life, we all need adequate food and nourishment. Food, which is essential for survival and growth of human beings, can also lead us to many health risks if not chosen properly. But, before we discuss its beneficiaries and functions, let us define what is Food and Nutrition? Food is made up of any substance, composed of carbohydrates, water, proteins, and fats either eaten or drunk by any animal, including humans to give energy or help build up the body for growth. Nutrition is the process in which you consume food or nourishing liquids, digest and absorb them and use them for health and growth. Also, Nutrition can be defined as a three-part process i.e. consumption, digestion and circulation of the food. The origin of the word ‘nutrition’ is linked to the Latin words ‘nutritionem and nutrire,’ meaning ‘’a nourishing’’ or ‘’to nourish, suckle.’’ As the saying goes, `we are what we eat, ` good nutrition plays a vital role in our wellbeing, helping to keep the mind and the body fit.

For instance, honey and desi ghee when mixed in equal quantities and eaten, acts like poison.

For digestion of constituent substances of a diet different digestive juices are required. Shwetsaar substances are digested by alkaline juices whereas proteins are digested by acidic juices. Shwetsaar and protein rich foods, when eaten together, will trigger the release of both alkaline and acidic juices leading to putrefaction of protein and fermentation of shwetsaar. This disturbs the process of digestion.
Similarly foods like vegetables, fruits, pickles, curd, kheer, sweets and papad etc when eaten together disturb the digestive process.
Eating one substance at a time is ideal. Eating a mix of substances is wrong in the first place. Mixture of minimum foods is preferable and makes the food easily digestible. One should take fruits at one time while salad(vegetables) and cereals at other time. This is called Monodiet.

The Lowdown on Sausages
Did you know we Kiwis munch our way through eight million sausages each week?

Sausages have been a recurring theme for me lately. I spent a fascinating day recently helping to judge the Devro New Zealand Sausage Competition, an annual award to find NZ’s best sausage from a field of 470 entrants. What I didn’t know about sausages before (which was quite a lot) I know now; I was lucky to have two butchers at my judging table who gave me the benefit of their years of experience. So now I know the difference between natural and synthetic casings; how the meat should be ground; how the ingredients should be distributed in a sausage; how much fat and seasoning and spices are ideal, and much more besides.

Just this week at Healthy Food Guide we’ve been looking at sausages in another context: their fat content. In our January 2012 issue you’ll be able to see how some popular sausages rank fat-wise; be prepared – there are some shocks!

Sausages are not, traditionally, what you might call a health food. So I was pleased to hear head judge of the sausage competition, Kerry Tyack, say that New Zealand sausage manufacturers are getting better at making their products healthier and more delicious.

“Our butchers are listening to consumers and responding with better ingredients, less fat, lower salt and innovative flavour combinations,” he says. This seems to be reflected in what we found when we looked in the shops, too, although it is definitely worthwhile taking a little time in choosing your sausages and comparing brands.

From a health point of view, the issues with sausages are usually fat (saturated fat in particular) and sodium (salt), both of which can be really high in some sausages. In our ideal world at Healthy Food Guide, all sausages would have less than 10 per cent fat, less than four per cent saturated fat and under 600mg sodium per 100g. When we checked, there are some sausages which do meet these criteria, but also a lot which don’t.

That doesn’t necessarily mean your favourite sausi needs to be off the menu. The supreme winner in the sausage competition was the Italian Casalinga sausage from Ashby’s Butchery in Christchurch. Although not a super low-fat sausage (it comes in at 15.9 per cent), it has intense, delicious flavour from Italian herbs and fennel seeds. This is a great example of a sausage that can be used in different ways, rather than simply slapped between a couple of bits of bread. Use good-quality, highly-flavoured sausages to add flavour to salads, pastas and stews. Three sausages, chopped and gently sautéed, can easily serve four or more in the context of a salad with white beans, rocket, asparagus and lemon; or a pasta with spinach, garlic, green beans, fresh tomatoes and shavings of parmesan. Think outside the square with these kinds of sausages and you’ll make them the real star of the meal.

When it comes to the barbecue, where you’re likely to eat more than one sausage, go for as low-fat and low-sodium as you can. And don’t forget you can ruin a healthier sausage by adding saturated fat in the cooking and serving. Don’t add any fat when cooking; drain them on absorbent paper when they’re cooked; and serve with lashings of colourful salads and potato salad or grainy bread. And go easy on the butter: if you want something on the bread with your sausage, try a fruity relish.
