• Nutrition is the sum of the processes by which an animal or plant takes
in and utilizes food substances. - Merriam Webster
• Human nutrition is a scientific discipline, concerned with the acess

Malnutrition – Under Nutrition & Over
Nutrition
• MALNUTRITION
Malnutrition refers to deficiencies, excesses or imbalances in a person’s
intake of energy or nutrients. Malnutrition covers two broad groups of
conditions;i.e.,
• UNDERNUTRITION
Includes stunting, wasting, underweight and micronutrients deficiencies
or insufficiencies.
• OVERNUTRITION
Includes overweight, obesity
Over Nutrition
Overnutrition is a form of malnutrition in which the intake of nutrients is
over supplied. The amount of nutrients exceeds the amount required for
normal growth, development and metabolism.
Overnutrition can develop into obesity, which increases the risk of serious
health conditions including cardiovascular disease, hypertension, cancer
and type-2 diabetes.
• Causes
• Lipid
• Carbohydrates
• Protein
Undernutrition
Undernutrition is the opposite of overnutrition, meaning that it is a
nutrient deficiency from not eating enough food. Undernutrition usually
affects the balance of all the nutrients in our body.
• Causes
• Iron
• Zink
• Calcium
• Iodine
• Vitamin

•LIFESTYLE & HABITS
• EXERCISE & ACTIVITY
• ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION
• SMOKING
OTHER FACTORS AFFECTING FOOD AND
NUTRITION
• Religious factor
• Physiological: sex, age, weight
BMR: The BMR is defined as the amount of energy required by person who is
awake but is nearly at complete mental and physical rest and has not consumed any
food from 12 -14 hours .The higher BMR, the more is calorie requirement.
1 kcal/kg/hr. so BMR+ 1kcal X body weight(in kg) X 24 hours
Specific dynamic action (SDA):
• The specific dynamic action (SDA) of a food represents the effort or energy that
the body has to use to breakdown the food until it is reduced to its basic unit,
which is only form in which it can enter the bloodstream. SDA of carbohydrates is
5-6%, protein is 3% and mixed diet is 12%. 8% increase in production of energy
in the form of heat after eating food.
• SUPERSTITIONS
PSYCHOLOGICAL STRESS

Organic & Inorganic
• When a nutrient is described as organic, it means that it
contains carbon while an inorganic nutrient does not
contain carbon. Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and
vitamins are organic, whereas minerals and water are
inorganic.

Energy Yielding & Non-Energy Yielding
Energy Yielding
• Carbohydrates: soul fuel of brain
• Proteins: building, repairing & renewing al the organ of body
• Lipids (fats): role in transport of certain vitamins and provide the body
with essential fatty acids
Non-Energy Yielding
• Vitamins & minerals
• Dietary fibre
