A cross sectional study was conducted to study the factors influencing fruit and vegetable consumption among five hundred school children aged 13 to 15 years. A structured questionnaire was administered to elicit data. Majority of boys had positive attitude towards health and physical outcome expectancy when compared to girls in fruit and vegetable consumption. When compared with the RDA, results indicated that the boys and girls consumed less quantity of energy, carbohydrate and protein.Keywords

Herbs and spices could be considered as authentic “functional foods”. They are used as medicines from traditional times. Spices are obtained from any part of a plant, from the seeds, leaves, barks, rhizomes, latex, stigmas, and floral buds. Recent researchers are focusing much on these culinary treasures to prove them as a functional food so that when consumed, can help in preventing diseases as well as to cure the existing ailments by providing phyto nutrient rich antioxidants. Phytochemicals in spices, which primarily serve in plant protection, are considered as boon of the 21st Century having less adverse effects when compared to modern drugs. This review article portrays some recent scientific findings about the antimicrobial activity of ginger, pepper, garlic, cloves, turmeric, nutmeg, cinnamon, chilli, tamarind and black mustard which are the commonly used spices that find a place in our day today life and have a distinct place in folk medicine in several of Asian countries.Keywords

Globally, diabetes is among the top 10 causes of death. To investigate about the Body Mass Index, physical activity pattern and dietary pattern often leads to life threatening complications. An Ex post facto, survey was carried out among 500 type 2 diabetes using a pre-tested questionnaire from five diabetes specialty clinics. About 67% of the subjects were of normal weight. Physical activity was calculated based on the formula given by Sharkey and Gaskill and the scores of the all the subjects were below 20 indicating the sedentary activity pattern and very poor fitness. When the calorie intake of the subjects with diabetes was compared with the recommended dietary allowance, it was found that 68% of the subjects were ingesting excess calories, while 32% were consuming less than the recommended calories. The quality of diet of none of the subjects was adequate in calories. Results suggest that type 2 diabetes should be given intensive diet counseling to know about the importance of diet and physical activity in managing their blood sugar levels.Keywords
