quest 4 nutrition

To enable families and children to live healthy lives by providing

best nutritional practices through information, products and service
1. Your health and your family’s health are the most
important factors in your life. Isn’t it ?
2. Don’t you agree that when it comes to your health, prevention
is better that cure ?
3. It is always better to invest time and money on your health
when you are healthy, than spending on diseases when the health
is lost.
4. Don’t you think in our present day-to-day life there is a
practical difficulty in implementing good health
practices ?
5. Don’t you think it is important to know the latest development
and approaches in protecting your health ?
If so, let us see

HOW we can practice

‘Good Health’
Optimal health is not the mere absence of
disease, but the complete physical, mental, social and

economical well being of a person.

- World Health Organization

Good Health is a combination of ….

Proper Regular Adequate Positive

Nutrition Exercise relaxation mental
& Sleep attitude
Nutrition is the science
that deals
with food and how
the body uses it
However
There is a good deal of confusion about
nutrition
Nutrition ≠ Food alone

Most people , however have little understanding of

the nutritional needs of our body.

What are these needs and how we can meet them ?

Nutritious food should provide you with
Macro Nutrients
Carbohydrate : (Main source of Energy)
250 gm – 700 gm (50% Energy Requirement)
Fat : (Source of Energy)
20 gms to 60 gms (< 20% of Energy Requirement)
Protein : (Building block of Body)
1 gm / kg body wt / day (Adults)
1.5 gms / kg body weight / day (Children)

As we all know , in the present day life there is a great
difficulty in making the above food choices, because of…..

Fast food culture Lack of knowledge

Excessive carbohydrate
Skipping meals
& fat intake
Stored & Processed food
Hectic lifestyle
Eat on run Excessive usage of
pesticides
 All these leads to unbalanced nutrition

Vitamins & Minerals

ie ; Excessive intake of carbohydrates and fats

Carbohydrates & Fats &
Low intake of Proteins, Vitamins & Minerals et

ie ; there is a Nutritional Gap

 Is there a Way Out ?
yes , Food with proper nutrition

As we have already seen , Food with proper nutrition

is often beyond our reach Or It is virtually
impossible to get all the nutrients from food alone
Hence a new equation

Good Nutrition=Food + Quality Natural

Nutritional Supplements
Plant Concentrates : an ideal Vitamins & Minerals Supplement

Natural Plant concentrates obtained

from from organically certified farm
Another area of great concern is
the changing scenario

in the cause of disease.

 PAST

Cause – Definite Therapy - Specific

Major illnesses of the past were caused by micro-organisms

and could be treated with specific medicines by the doctor.
 PRESENT

Heart Attack
Hyper Tension Cancer
Diabetes

Stroke
Alzheimers
Obesity
Arthritis
Asthma
Cause – Multiple Therapy – Not Specific
The present day maladies are a result of the way we live ,
and hence cannot be overcome with medicines alone
 Why ?

One Word

FREE RADICALS
What is it & How does it work ?
 Oxygen ( O2 )

Brighter Side Darker Side

Browning of Apple

Rusting of Iron

While we cannot readily see this process in our body,

example of oxidative, free-radical damage can be seen
from such everyday situations.
 Sustains life by
providing energy

Brighter Side

Oxygen (O2)

Darker side
Highly reactive
free-Radicals Can create severe damages to
tissues- leading to diseases

The same oxygen which sustains life can also be the root cause
of many diseases
Anti-oxidants

Vitamins
Minerals
Enzymes
 The WAR within
Normally these dangerous free-radicals are
neutralized by anti-
oxidants, which are naturally present in the
body

Anti- oxidants Free - Radicals

However, when the free-radical production
increases and / or anti-oxidant level decreases

We Lose the WAR

 This happens due to:
Stress Medicines

Pollution

Cigarette Smoking Radiation

UV Rays
Polluted Food & Water

Alcohol consumption Excessive Exercise

 The damage within
When there is excessive free-radical injury, it can lead to
extensive damage of various tissue in the body. They manifest
as : Heart - Heart attack
Brain - Stroke , Alzheimer’s / Parkinson’s
Joints - Arthritis
Eye - Cataracts, Macular degeneration
Skin - Wrinkles
DNA - Cancer
Pancreas - Diabetes
 Is there a Way Out ?

Decrease free-radical damages by Increase anti-oxidant levels by

-Reduce stress
-Providing our body with
-Avoid polluted air
and water Vitamins, Minerals and
-Avoid smoking , both bio-flavanoids
active / passive
- Avoid UV rays Natural source of which are
– Avoid Unscientific and FRESH fruits and vegetables
excessive exercise
– Avoid improper use of
medicines
 As we have already seen, our normal diet does not
provide us with enough vitamins, minerals and bio-
flavanoids which can increase our anti-oxidant levels.
Hence the only way out is to add

High Quality Natural Nutritional Supplements

to your normal diet.

Normal Diet Diet with Nutritional Supplements

 Add ACES to your normal diet
Through the body can produce this anti- oxidants ,
they have to be replenished. For this we need
Vitamins and Minerals in our Diet.
Especially Vitamin A
Vitamin C
Vitamin E

Vitamin S
Mineral Selenium
Bio flavanoids are unique phytofactor plant compounds foundand
in
fresh fruits & Vegetables with natural colours..
