56.4 percent of diseases in India are caused by unhealthy eating habits. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) revealed this in its report. The report says that in order to stay healthy, a person needs 1,200 grams of food a day, from which he gets 2,000 calories. It is enough to consume in a plate 100 grams of fruits, 400 grams of green vegetables, 300 ml of milk or hummus, 85 grams of legumes or eggs, 35 grams of nut seeds and 250 grams of cereals.
Consuming more than 27 grams of lubricant per day can be dangerous to health. In non-vegetarian food, a maximum of 70 grams of chicken or meat per day is sufficient. On Wednesday, ICMR issued 17 dietary guidelines. According to ICMR, consuming nutritious food can reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases including type 2 diabetes, blood pressure, heart disease by 80 percent. ICMR Director General Dr. Rajeev Bahl has appealed to all residents of the country to improve their own and their families’ nutrition by following these guidelines.
A six to eight month old baby requires 650 calories a day. If a mother breastfeeds four times, the baby receives a maximum of 500 calories. Therefore, along with breastfeeding, pulses and rice should be fed in the morning or afternoon, a banana or a boiled apple in the afternoon and some khichdi in the evening. A nine to 12 month old child needs 720 calories a day. Besides breastfeeding, it is also necessary to consume pulses, rice, khichdi and fruits.
