The energy and nutrient requirement of the living organisms vary from species
to species. Human being have certain limits, I have tried to compile the recent
research of Food Technologists to provide information about the importance of
the fruits and meal planning. BREAKFAST: |
Iqbal Burcha (Hunza) |
This is an important meal of the day but one that is sometimes missed.
The body needs food first thing in the morning since it is generally about
twelve hours since the last meal. research has shown that people who eat
breakfast are more efficient , alert and less accident-prone during the
morning than those who do not it is not essential though to have a full
cooked breakfast serial and milk toast and marmalade with tea or coffee to
drink is sufficient for the majority of people.
Usually in NORTHERN AREAS breakfast comprises tea, bread (chapatti or fity,
shoro) butter and some other food components which are available at the
moment. Unfortunately people of northern areas do not use fruits in
breakfast. Recent research is about use of fruits in breakfast. Good
fortunately northern areas are filled with bounty of fruits and so many
crops.
Fruits like apple, pear, peach, grapes and dry fruits are proactive
component for our health, and increases human smartness and life duration.
So by using fruits which are available in our areas we can survive healthy
life. Short formula is given below.
Any fruit + bread+ tea + butter =SMART HUMAN BEING = breakfast
MIDDAY MEAL or LUNCH:
For many people this is a cooked ‘meat and two vegetables.’ type of
meal eaten in an industrial canteen or at school. However, it is not
essential to have a hot midday meal. Cold meals or packed lunches, if
carefully planned, can be equally or more nutritious. Sandwiches with
fillings of meat, eggs, fish or cheese together with fruit or salad
provide the basis of a well-balanced meal.
In NORTHERN AREAS vegetables are available so the people should use
vegetable in midday meal along with fruits.
Formula
Bread + energetic food + salad + fruit = DINNER = HEALTHY HUMAN BEING
SELECTION OF FOODS
It is obviously impractical to calculate in detail the nutrient and energy
contents of normal menus. It is important , however , that meals are
nutritionally balanced, or at least that the food consumed over the period
of a day and certainly over a week should be balanced nutritionally.
One of the simplest ways of ensuring a balanced diet is to consider foods
as being divided into five groups , each group providing certain essential
nutrients. If foods from all five groups are included in reasonable
quantities each day the diet should be nutritionally adequate.
1. PROTEIN FOODS: (meal, fish, eggs and these) which provide
protein, energy, B vitamins and iron ( meat and eggs).
2. MILK: which provides calcium, protein, B vitamins, vitamin A and
energy.
3. FRUITS AND VEGETABLES: which provide vitamin C, vitamin A, minerals and
fiber.
4. BREAD AND CEREALS: which provide energy, protein, B vitamins, iron,
calcium and fiber.
5. BUTTER AND MARGARINE which provide vitamin D, vitamin A and energy.
GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr. IJALAL HUSSAIN GILGITY a student Of Ph.D in the Department of Food
Science & Technology at University of Karachi has made a new formula of
balanced diet food for migrants which will soon published in books.
Special thanks to my intimate friend PIAR ALI SAGAR.
