4. INTRODUCTION
“To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently
is an art ”
-La Rochefoucald
Nutrition is a basic prerequisite to sustain life.
Variety in food is not only the spice of life but
also the essence of nutrition and health. A diet
consisting of foods from several food groups
provides all the required nutrients in proper
amounts

5. NUTRITION
Nutrition is the science that interprets the interaction
of nutrients and other substances in food in relation to
maintenance, growth, reproduction, health and disease
of an organism. It includes food intake, absorption,
assimilation, biosynthesis, catabolism, and excretion.
DIET
It is the sum of food consumed by a person or
other organism

6. BALANCED DIET
A balanced diet is one which provides all the
nutrients in required amounts and proper
proportions.
“Diet which contains different types of foods
possessing the nutrients - carbohydrates,
fats ,proteins, vitamins, minerals in a
proportion to meet the requirements of the
body”

7. HISTORY
The first recorded dietary advice, carved into
a Babylonian stone tablet in about 2500 BC,
cautioned those with pain inside to avoid
eating onions for three days.
Scurvy, later found to be a vitamin C deficiency,
was first described in 1500 BC in the Ebers Papyrus

8. HISTORY
Hippocrates, who recognized and was
concerned with obesity, which may have
been common in southern Europe at the
time,said, "Let food be your medicine and
medicine be your food."The works that are
still attributed to him, Corpus Hippocraticum,
called for moderation and
emphasized exercise.[15

Marasmus is a form of severe malnutrition
characterized by energy deficiency. It can
occur in anyone with severe malnutrition

Body weight is reduced to less than 62% of
the normal (expected) body weight for the
age

46. Marasmus is caused by a severe deficiency of
nearly all nutrients, especially protein,
carbohydrates and lipids, usually due to
poverty and scarcity of food.
Viral, bacterial and parasitic infections can
cause children to absorb few nutrients, even
when consumption is adequate.
Marasmus can develop in children who have
weakening conditions such as chronic
diarrhea.

79. Main conclusion of the study
Increase in carbohydrate increases the caries activity
Risk of caries if sugar is consumed which retains
Risk increase if sugar is consumed b/w meals
Upon withdrawal of sugars-caries activity disappears
A high con of sugar in sol and its retention on tooth surface leads to increased caries
Clearance time of sugar co-relates closely with caries activity

(iv) Calcium, phosphorus and casein contained in cow
milk inhibit caries.

83. (v)Wholemeal foods have protective properties: they
require more mastication, thus stimulating salivary
secretion.
(vi) Peanuts, hard cheeses, and chewing gum are good
gustative/mechanical stimulators of salivary secretion.

fluorine in the plaque and reduces the cariogenicity of
a diet rich in sugars.

Severe PEM is a serious, often lethal disease. It is common
in poor countries, where as many as25% of childrens are malnourished
Common in western african countries.8lakh affected
PEM manifests as a range of clinical syndromes, all
resulting from a dietary intake of protein and calories that
is inadequate to meet the body’s needs. there are two
protein compartments in the body: the somatic compartment,
represented by proteins in skeletal muscles, and the
visceral compartment, represented by protein stores in the
visceral organs, primarily the
deprivation is relatively
greater than the reduction in total calories (Fig. 7–17, B).
This is the most common form of PEM seen in African
children who have been weaned too early and subsequently
fed, almost exclusively, a carbohydrate diet (the
name kwashiorkor, from the Ga language in Ghana,
describes the illness in a baby that appears after the arrival
of another child).
Protein should be supplied only for anabolic purposes. The catabolic needs should be satisfied with carbohydrate and fat. Protein catabolism involves the urea cycle, which is located in the liver and can easily overwhelm the capacity of an already damaged organ.
It can be distinguished from kwashiorkor in that kwashiorkor is protein deficiency with adequate energy intake whereas marasmus is inadequate energy intake in all forms, including protein
result of catabolism and depletion of
the somatic protein compartment
Marasmus can also make children short-tempered and irritable
