MALNUTRITION Definition: Lack of proper nutrition

caused by not having enough to eat

Not eating enough of the right things

Being unable to use the food that one does eat

Poor Nutrition can refer to

Undernutrition – when you don’t get enough nutrients Overnutrition – when you get more nutrients that you need

• Malnutrition is a common health problem.

• Two billion people in the world suffer from various forms of malnutrition.

Undernutrition - Accounts for 11% of the global burden of disease

and is considered the #1 risk to health

worldwide. - People can be

overweight if eat a diet high in calories, but low

in other nutrients

Overnutrition

Main sign is being overweight or obese

Food & Nutrient Intake Pattern

• Calorie & protein intake greater or less than required

• Vitamin & mineral intake greater or less than required

• Gastrointestinal disturbances

• Bowel irregularity

Psychological & Social Factor

• Low income or poverty, especially in the present context of rising food prices

• Having limited knowledge about nutrition or cooking

• Reduced mobility

Physical Factor

• May lose appetite due to losing sense of smell and taste

• Teeth in poor condition, eating can be difficult

• Disease and its related complications

Universal Need for Health and Nutritional Fitness

• Achieve and maintain appropriate body weight adjust energy intake and exercise level • Eat a WIDE VARIETY of foods to ensure nutrient adequacy • Increased complex carbohydrate intake • Eat less total fat and less saturated fat • Eat more fibre-rich foods • Eat more fruits and vegetables • Eat fewer high cholesterol foods • Eat fewer high sodium foods• Reduce intake of concentrated sugars • Drink alcohol in moderation or not at all Source: Mahan, L.

Environmental Changes

Free Radicals

Pollutants today vs. in the century

past (air, food and water) drastically

increase the number of free

radicals we fight, both internally and externally.

Toxic Burden

Our toxic burden varies day to day, and our ability to defend ourselves decreases as new toxins – internal and external – are introduced.

Food Quality

Evidence shows major declines in food’s nutritive value over time,

in addition to increased

consumption of highly-processed

items.

What Puts Food At Risk?Foods have become significantly depleted in their content of antioxidants and supporting minerals

FactorsMineral

depletion in soil

Mono-culture

Food Quality

The Nutrition You NeedSupplementation is important:

The amount needed for nutrients may be hard to obtain from food

Benefits numerous areas of health (increased energy, increased joint comfort, skin health, maintaining cardiovascular function, etc.

Provides essential vitamins and minerals needed every day

By making the right nutritional choices every day, we set in motion benefits that add up over the course of weeks, months and years.

Good health and lifelong vitality isn’t the result of an overnight transformation – it happens one day at a time.

What is “good” for our health & well-being?

Vitamins – Nutritional Foundation

Antioxidants – Immune Support

B-Vitamins – Energy & Metabolism

Calcium – Skeletal Health; Muscle Use & Performance

Isotonic Delivery

Meaning of ISOTONIC STATE?

ISO = Similar TONIC = Pressure TONICITY = Similar body’s fluid pressure

Human body’s isotonic state:280-320 or (270-310)mOsm/Kg

ISOTONIC ISOTONIC = have similar pH & osmotic pressure as some of the body’s fluid

Food need to be digested Stomach will mix the food Until becoming isotonic stateEnter into small intestine and is absorbed

Blood plasma tears

ISOTONIX® VS Ordinary Tablets

Highly efficient absorption

Little dilution, higher concentrationsWithout fillers, binders and coatings

Takes time to digest

Diluted by digestive juices, lower concentrations

Contains fillers, binders and coatings
