Genetic make up of man was developed millions of years back and the nutritional requirements still remain more or less the same. Industrialization, changes in the way of life and many other similar factors have dictated the present day food habits, which often fail to meet the true nutrition requirements of the body. This inturn puts the whole system in stress, resulting in many kinds of diseases. Consumption of excess carbohydrates and fat is the cause of many chronic conditions like obesity, several kinds of heart diseases, cancer etc. Danger of unscientific food habits is being recognized and the trend to go back to nature is appearing in several forms the world over. | en_US |
