Welcome to nutrition facts in the food
 Why
do we really need to understand the nutrition facts in the food we
eat?
...All right!
Have you ever wondered how
quite a number of Okinawa
Island people able to live more than 100
years of
disease free life? But it is the fact! The secret of their highest life
expectancy is because of their incredible knowledge of nutritional
facts
in the food they eat. People from this Japanese island eat nutrient
rich, low calorie diet (a diet averaging not more than 1 cal/g) that is
composed of low fat, low sugar, small quantity of fish but lots of
green/orange/yellow (GOY) vegetables and fruits.
Fruits
Vegetables
Nuts
Herbs
Spices
Of course! The right
nutrition
is your right kind of workout!
Research studies have shown
that the kind of food we consume at early
stages of life sets in the metabolism pace of our body for the rest of
our life. Therefore the benefits of eating right at early years will be
greater and long lasting.
Nutrition,
health and wellness are intricately inter linked.
Aberrations in our nutrition tend to significantly influence our health
and well-being.
Gradually, but unfortunately, our eating habits have changed in a
significant way from their usual, natural pattern. Each passing day,
various hazardous agents enter our body through our diet.
Modern food
industry uses many preservatives, artificial colorants, additives and
chemicals in order to enhance the appearance, flavor and shelf life of
food we eat. However, these compounds ultimately end up accumulating in
our body; but only to show their deleterious effects in the form of
diseases, cancers, genetic malformations in the offspring... etc.
It is, therefore, important to understand the nutritional
requirements of our body. All of us are curious to find out
what is a well balanced diet in order to stay
healthy and to lead productive life.
Certain level of knowledge about the food science is
necessary regarding food items' nutrition value, their
anti-oxidant
strength, storage quality, processing methods and
consumption.
Right effort should be made to have all the nutrients in right
quantities, proportion, hygienic and free from harmful germs
and chemicals.

nutrition facts information on this site.
Looking forward to hear from you!
