DIET
Among three pillars of perfect health, diet is the most important. Until unless a proper diet regime is adopted, one cannot think of achieving good health. In fact diet itself is medicine. We can keep the diseases at way by understanding the science of diet and its effects. Diet is prescribed keeping in mind the gross body’s nutritional needs and preservation requirements. Diet nourishes our sensory organs. A modified diet is usually preferred to achieve and maintain good health.
Have You Ever Heard the Saying “You Are What You Eat”?
It is true that human body really is built from the nutrients it gets from food: water, protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals.
On average:
• Water holds 60% of your body weight.
• Fat has 20% of your body weight.
• Vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates hold other 20% of your body weight.
Foods and beverages give the energy and nutrients required to maintain every system in the human body.

Energy from food:
• Energy is the ability to do work.
• Energy is taken from every single bite of food no matter whether it gives nutrients or not.
• Kilojoules is the standard to measure the energy and calories of the food.

Calorie: one calorie is amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius.
The quantity of heat released when food is burned (metabolized) in your body cells provides our bodies with energy.
