Diet for underprivileged

Undernutrition is the underlying cause for about 50% of the 2.1 million under-5 deaths in India each year. Preventing undernutrition has emerged as one of the most critical challenges to India’s development planners in recent times. Despite substantial improvement in health and wellbeing since the country’s independence in 1947, undernutrition remains a silent emergency in India, where almost half of all children under the age of 3 are underweight, 30% of newborns born with low birth weight and 52% of women and 74% of children are anaemic.

Epidemiological surveys have shown that underprivileged individuals are more exposed than others to the risks of nutritional deficiency, obesity, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. This can partly be explained by the fact that it is difficult to eat healthily on a low budget.

Undernutrition in India has many causes:-

· Lack of awareness and knowledge being the biggest one. These people are not aware of the ways to get the best nutrition out of their budget. They consume calories and fat rich foods which has no other nutrients thus leading to nutritional deficiencies.

· Lack of availability and facility of the right foods to the lower backward areas.

· Economic crises

Though our metropolitan cities are full of luxurious lifestyle with big cars running on the roads, still there is a big portion of the city occupied by slums. The lack of knowledge of right nutrition, no sanitation and unhygienic living conditions make them vulnerable to the thousands of infections, epidemics and famines.

Several organisations, NGO’s and social workers are working and trying to help them get good nutrition.

Personal/Family care

Personal/Family wellness

The stress of modern life is a major obstacle in the quest for wellness. Our bodies often lack the vital nutrients we need to protect us from disease.

Food is the cornerstone which, in our modern lifestyle, has been rejected by the builder. The speed, at which we live and work, pushes us into a fast eating culture, where quality of food becomes secondary.
Every member of the family has specific nutritional needs which, due to fast and speedy lifestyle get neglected since it becomes difficult to take care of the needs of each individual in the family i.e. from a young child to elderly. Moreover, modern supermarkets stocked with instant meals, hundred options available in markets for each food item, likes and dislikes of each member and increasing social eating makes it even more difficult.

Also, food is the focus of some of the most important moments of our lives and eating is one of life’s greatest pleasures. And if this eating can become healthy, then it would be the greatest boon for one and his family. It's a challenge to provide an entire family with balanced, nutritional meals that meet individual needs and tastes. People are, on an average, not aware or one can say largely ignorant about healthy and unhealthy foods, quantities to be taken and which food items to be encouraged and which to restrict. All this mainly depends on an individual's state in terms of his/her body structure, metabolism, life styles, ailments / diseases...

Obesity, lack of physical activity, mental stress and tension, alcohol and smoking are the major reasons, which manifest as hypertension, diabetes, heart attacks and cancer. Today’s working environment is such that individuals feel short changed for time and believe they are unable to work out and stay healthy as a result. Bosses as well as the employees at corporate work round the clock, get fewer breaks, are time starved and can’t seem to switch off. And since employers relate efficiency directly with health and overall wellness of their staff, Good Nutrition becomes their necessity and topmost priority.

There is documented relationship between healthy employees and worker productivity. Employers who invest in worksite health promotion programs can see a return of $3-$6 for every dollar invested over a 2-5 year period. Source: American Journal of Preventive Medicine, December 2005.
