Calorie Adjustments for specific activities:

Add or subtract the specified calories from - to your required daily calorie intake. Note that if you are classed as inactive, you need to subtract calories from your daily allowance to maintain weight. The more active you are the more calories the body needs for energy.

For example if you are a 35 year old women who sits at a computer each day and weighs over 90 kilos - 200 lbs, you would need 2400 calories less 960 to simply maintain your weight. A total of 1440 calories per day.

An example for a male who is over 55, plays golf twice a week is he can consume 2400 calories daily to maintain his weight and on his golf days have a treat equal to 380 calories and not put on weight.

December 2004Good nutrition is important to keep bones strong. We hear a lot about getting enough calcium and vitamin D. But research suggests that many other nutrients also are beneficial for bone health, while some nutrients and other components of our food have potentially adverse effects on bone health.The table that follows was excerpted from Bone Health and Osteoporosis: A Report of the Surgeon General. This table provides an overview of a wide array of nutrients and other components in our diets, explaining how they impact our bone health and offering guidance concerning the recommended amounts and dietary sources of these nutrients.The Surgeon General’s report is a rich source of other information on bone health, osteoporosis, and related bone diseases as well. All the information is based on the best and most current research findings and expert opinions in the bone field. You can view the report and companion pieces including "What It Means to You" online atwww.surgeongeneral.gov and order copies of these materials either online or by calling 1-866-718-BONE.

Trans fats are found naturally in dairy products, lamb, beef and mutton. They are also found in many packed foods which use hydrogenated vegetable fats. You can find it in many snacks, viz. cookies, cakes, fried foods, microwave popcorn, margarine, etc.

Always look for the words shortening, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil or hydrogenated vegetable oil on the food label, these are nothing but trans fats.

Following is a list of foods containing trans fats.

An American consumes on the average 40 percent trans fat of total trans fats consumed in cakes, cookies, crackers, pies, bread, etc. and 20 pecent of total trans fats consumed in fat.

1. Margarine, Butter, Spreads: Margarine, butter and shortening are loaded with trans fats and saturated fats.

Spread1 tablespoon

Trans fat (g)

Saturated Fat (g)

Butter 0.3 7.2

Tub margarine 0.6 1.2

Page 33: Nutrional Profile

Soft Tub margarine 0-0.5 1

Stick margarine 2.8 2.1

Shortening 4.2 3.4

2. Soft variety of margarine or non-hydrogenated margarine contain no trans fat. Read the label.

3. The butter contains very less trans fat than the tub margarine, but if you look at the total of saturated and trans fat, then butter seems to be worse than the margarine.

4. Fast Food: Most foods like fries, pies, chicken dishes, pancakes have trans fats. A medium pack of French Fries contain 14.5 gram of trans fat, while a KFCOriginal chicken has 7 gram. KFC used to cook everything from chicken to potato wedges in trans fat hydrogenated oils. But it was supposed to replace the trans fat with a healthier soybean oil by April 2007.McDonald's New York City Metro restaurants claim that their French fries has 0 grams trans fat per serving and reduced saturated fats.

5. Baked Goods, Cookies, Pastries and Cakes . These foods are loaded with trans fats and saturated fats. Even butter substitutes used in biscuits and cookies and for seasoning are mainly trans-fatty acids.Each slice of a pound cake has 4.3 gram of trans fat and 3.4 gram of saturated fat.

6. Soups: Soup cups contain very high levels of trans fat.

7. Microwave Popcorn : 5 - 7 g of trans fat per half bag.

8. Trans Fats in Indian Food

The Indian Food avaialble in restaurants are loaded with trans-fatty acids and saturated fats. They use vanaspati for cooking bhaturas, parathas, puri (poori) and tikkis.

Indian Food100 g           Trans Fat

Bhatura           9.5%

Paratha           7.8%

Poori               7.6%

Tikkis               7.5%

Compare this with 4.2%-6.1% trans-fatty acids in French fries. This means that the Indian food is worse than the Western foods. No wonder India has the highest number of diabetics.It is better to cook these items at home with vegetable oils that do not contain any trans-fatty acids.

yths & Facts

Page 34: Nutrional Profile

Milk causes asthma?Many well-meaning parents rob their children of essential nutrients by taking it upon themselves to exclude milk. Poor diet leads to poor health, which can make asthma worse. The major triggers for asthma are infection, exercise, weather and temperature change. Food and drink, food additives and chemicals are low ranking triggers. The right diet for asthma is one that contains cereals, fruits, vegetables, dairy products and meats.

Are all calories created equally?All calories are not created equal, One gram of carbohydrate or protein contains only 4 calories, but one gram of fat contains 9 calories. \"Fat calories sneak up on you\", Dr. Goor says. \" A few handful of potato chips has the same number of calories as two medium-sized baked potatoes topped with non-fat yoghurt and steamed vegetables.\"

Carbohydrates have a lot of bulk per calorie?Eating them triggers feelings of fullness. It\'s difficult to overeat if you base your diet on them. \"if you reduce your fat consumption from the typical 35 to 40 % of calories down to the 10 % \" Says Dean Ornish, M.D., the doctor who pioneered heart disease reversal using a low-fat diet, \"you can eat one-third more food without increasing your total number of calories. You feel full & satisfied, but still reduce your risk of heart disease and the other fat related diseases and you lose weight\". In addition to their high calorie content, fats are also metabolised differently from carbohydrates. The body uses most carbohydrates. The body uses most carbohydrates quickly, and can only store about one day\'s worth as glycogen in the liver and in muscle tissue. If you eat normal amounts, Dr.Goor says, \" carbohydrates are never stored as fat.\" Fats on the other hand, are not metabolised right away. They are stored as fat in adipose tissue, which has an almost unlimited capacity to bulge with fat. Unlike carbohydrates, fat calories don\'t cause feelings of fullness, so you keep eating and eating, gaining weight, and increasing your risk of all the fat-related diseases.

Potatoes & Cakes are the villains?Most of the people beleive that carbohydrates(starches & sugars) were the dietary villian. But nutrition scientist have prove that the real villian in the diet is FAT. Carbohydrates including fruits, vegetables, beans, and grains provide most of the body\'s energy. They are a main source for body energy. If weight controlled is concerned, limit your fat calories and you don\'t have to worry about total calorie intake. It is not potato which is fattening but butter, sour cream and ghee people put on. The same goes for sugar. Cakes, chocolates, icecream are fattening not because it contains sugar, but because it is loaded with fat.

Milk causes mucous?Milk is only linked to mucous production in the case of true food allergy. The only way to check out a food allergy is through a controlled elimination diet and by an allergy specialist. 

Is it okay to give low fat, skimmed milk to infants? Low fat and skimmed milk is not suitable for children under five. Breast milk should be used until one year. Children upto the age of two need regular milk for growth and development. Offer regular milk to children under five. 

MythsA whole bunch of food fallacies have been handed down to us for generations. The irony in believing them and following the practices they advise is that while thinking we are following the voice of experience we might actually be depriving our bodies of good health.

Fish and curd should not be consumed together as they cause stomach cramps or white patches on the skin. 

You should end meals with a cup of tea for satiety value.

Older people should eat fewer meals.

Margarine is less fattening than butter.

The fat content of milk can be reduced by adding water.

Desi ghee is bad for the heart.

Refined oils are better for the heart than butter or ghee.

Page 35: Nutrional Profile

Drinking milk is better than taand butter both contain 25% fat. They have the same calorie count. So margarine is as fattening as butter. Besides, margarine is rich in saturated fatty acids as well as trans fatty acids, which raise blood cholesterol.

Myth: The fat content of milk can be reduced by adding water. Fact: Adding water to milk dilutes all the other nutrients in milk apart from fat. If you want \"less fat milk\", buy skim milk instead, which has all the nutrients but less fat. You can make skim milk at home by refrigerating the milk overnight and skimming off the fat the next morning.

Myth: Desi ghee is bad for the heart. Fact: Desi ghee is rich in saturated fatty acids and cholesterol, which is bad. However, it also contains substantial amount of monounsaturated fatty acids, which is good. Desi ghee is also a rich source of Vitamin A. Desi ghee is not harmful when taken in small quantities, say half a teaspoon a day.

Myth: Refined oils are better for the heart than butter or ghee. Fact: Every fat, including different oils, has its own composition. Kardi and sunflower oils are rich in PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acids), while ghee, butter, groundnut oil and mustard oil are rich in SFA (saturated fatty acids) and MUFA (mono saturated fatty acid). It is recommended that PUFA, MUFA and SFA are consumed in the ratio 1:1.5:1. So, all the three sources, that is ghee or butter (1/2 tsp), mustard or groundnut oil (1 tsp) and safflower or sunflower oil (1/2 tsp) should be consumed in a day for a healthy heart.

Myth: Drinking milk is better than taking it in the form of curd. Fact: Some people cannot tolerate milk - they get diarrhoea or \"heavy\" feeling. For these people, the best substitute for milk is curd. Apart from containing all the nutrients of milk, curd has the lactobacillus - friendly bacteria which aid digestion - and is thus digested easily.

Myth: Mono diets help fat loss. Fact: Mono diets lead to a pronounced loss of lean body mass, and may suppress the appetite leading to altered blood chemistry.

Myth: Honey can be used as a substitute for sugar when you\'re trying to lose weight. Fact: Honey consists of 75% sugars (glucose and fructose) and 25% water. Every gram of honey provides 3kcal.

Myth: Pickles are not rich in calories. Fact: Generally oil and salt are used as preservatives in pickles. Neither is particularly healthy. A gram of oil provides 9kcal and a high salt intake is not advisable for people with high blood pressure.

Myth: A label saying \'Cholesterol free\' indicates a health food. Fact: \'Cholesterol free\' doesn\'t necessarily mean fat free. The food might well be cholesterol free but at the same time be rich in saturated fatty acids or trans fatty acids, both of which raise blood cholesterol. \'Cholesterol free\' is just a marketing strategy - don\'t set too much store by it.

Minerals | Vitamins | Fruits | Vegetables | Nuts & Seeds | Proteins

Minerals are elements that originate in the soil and cannot be created by living things, such as plants and animals. Yet plants, animals and humans need minerals in order to be healthy. Plants absorb minerals from the soil, and animals get their minerals from the plants or other animals they eat. Most of the minerals in the human diet come directly from plants, such as fruits and vegetables, or indirectly from animal sources. Minerals may also be present in your drinking water, but this depends on where you live, and what kind of water you drink (bottled, tap). Minerals from plant sources may also vary from place to place, because the mineral content of the soil varies according to the location in which the plant was grown.

Note that I have listed only those foods which contain the listed vitamins in significant quantities. For more detailed information, please visit the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food & Nutrition Center.

Recommended supplement: Coral Calcium Supreme

Calcium eases insomnia and helps regulate the passage of nutrients through cell walls. Without calcium, your muscles wouldn’t contract correctly, your blood wouldn’t clot and your nerves wouldn’t carry messages.

Most fruits contain some calcium, these have a bit more than usual:

If you don’t get enough calcium from the food you eat, your body automatically takes the calcium needed from your bones. If your body continues to tear down more bone than it replaces over a period of years in order to get sufficient calcium, your bones will become weak and break easily.

Deficiency may result in muscle spasms and cramps in the short term and osteoporosis.

Adults should get 150 mcgs per day.

The children’s recommendation for iodine is 70 to 150 mcg (that is micrograms).

Iodine helps regulate the rate of energy production and body weight and promotes proper growth. It also promotes healthy hair, nails, skin and teeth.

In countries where iodine is deficient in the soil, rates of hypothyroidism, goiter

Fruits grown in iodine-rich soils contain iodine.

Vegetables grown in iodine-rich soils contain iodine.

Nuts grown in iodine-rich soils contain iodine.

In developed countries, however, because iodine is added to table salt, iodine deficiencies are rare.

Women and teenage girls need at least 15 mg a day, whereas men can get by on 10.

It is important that children get about 10 to 12 mg of iron per day, preferably from their diet. Breastfeeding is the best insurance against iron deficiency in babies.

Most at risk of iron deficiency are infants, adolescent girls and pregnant women.

Iron deficiency in infants can result in impaired learning ability and behavioral problems. It can also affect the immune system and cause weakness and fatigue.

To aid in the absorption of iron, eat foods rich in vitamin C at the same

Vitamin D is known as the "sunshine vitamin" since it is manufactured by the body after being exposed to sunshine. Ten to fifteen minutes of good sunshine three times weekly is adequate to produce the body's requirement of vitamin D. This means that we don't need to obtain vitamin D from our diet unless we get very little sunlight – usually not a problem for children.

Vitamin D is vital to the human body as it promotes absorption of calcium and magnesium, which are essential for the normal
