Food & Nutrients

We need energy to work and play. Food provides us with energy.

We also need food to grow and to remain healthy by fighting diseases.

Food & Nutrients

Eating only one type of food will not give our body everything it needs to work, play, grow and fight diseases. This is because our body needs different substances for doing different things. These substances are called nutrients.

Food & Nutrients

Some nutrients provide us with energy, some help us grow and some help us to

fight diseases. Different foods have different nutrients. Therefore, to remain fit and healthy, we need to eat different foods.

Sugars and starches are carbohydrates. They are needed by your body to get quick energy. That is why they are called energy-giving

nutrients. 

Cereals such as rice, wheat and maize are rich in carbohydrates. So are foods made from cereals such as bread, chapatis or dosa. Sugar, things

containing sugar, as well as potatoes and bananas are rich in carbohydrates.

Vitamins and minerals are nutrients that our body needs in very small amounts. They help our body to work properly and fight disease. They are

therefore called protective foods. There are several vitamins and minerals that our body needs. Fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, liver, milk, eggs and

bread are rich in vitamins. They contain several minerals also.

Proteins are nutrients that our body needs to grow. They are also needed to repair damaged parts of our body. That is why they are called body-building nutrients. Proteins are found in milk, cheese, eggs, fish, meat and pulses.

Fats are nutrients that also provide us with energy. They are stored in the body for future use. The energy stored in them is used when the body does

not get enough food to eat. Fats also keep our body warm. Oil, butter, cheese and nuts are rich in fats.

Calcium is an important mineral needed by children to form healthy bones and teeth. It is found in milk and leafy green vegetables.

FAST FOOD

Food is fuel for your body and has a direct impact on how you feel as well as on your overall health. Fast food refers to food that can be served quickly. In many cases, that means food that is highly processed and contains large amounts of carbohydrates, added sugar, unhealthy fats, and salt (sodium). These foods generally contain a high number of calories but offer little or no nutritional value.

HISTORY OF FAST FOODThe concept of fast food is generally associated with urban development. However, research reveals that the trend has its roots in the bread-and-wine stands in ancient Rome and the popular ready-to-eat noodle shops in many East Asian cities. All through the ancient and medieval world, flat-bread, falafel and other heat-and-serve meals were popular attractions at roadside stands.
