Influence of the nutrition in the human life

Influence of the nutrition in the human life
The feeding is determining in the physical development and mental, in the reproduction, the physical and mental yield, the frequency of appearance of diseases and in I even number of deaths happened in each country.

1. In the physical and mental development
2. In the reproduction
3. In mortality and morbidity
4. In the physical and intellectual yield

1. In the physical and mental development

The feeding in the fetal life, childhood and adolescence of the individual conditions that the growth is developed with all the genetic possibilities.
Different studies have demonstrated that it enters two towns submissive the same environmental influences (climate, temperature, house, etc.), the different dietetic habits determine clear differences as far as the physical development, character of the population and diseases.

Thus, those civilizations with an feeding, essentially, basic animal, more are developed physical and psychologically and in addition they show a better state of health than the vegetarian costumary populations.

In Spain still differences as far as the stature are stated and to the weight between children of families of different economic level, which clearly suggests these differences settle down being based on the different feeding which they receive.

Nutrients like proteins, of maximum importance, are destined to the construction of new weaves to secure the growth of muscles, skin and organs. The calcium and the phosphorus are fundamental for the growth of the skeleton and vitamins are indispensable for the absorption and assimilation of some nutrients by the organism.

It seems clear that the period of the life that includes/understands from the fetal life to the 5 years is a critical stage in the growth and development of the individual, having itself demonstrated that a delay undergone in this period by deficit of contribution of nutrients is of difficult overcoming, even though later the individual receives a suitable feeding.

Therefore, the diet in the children constitutes one of the fundamental causes of the appearance of differences as far as the physical and mental development, independent of the individual limitations of the genetic inheritance, the hygiene or the sport.

2. In the reproduction

The nutritional habits also influence the reproduction. The undernourishment brings about upheavals of the menstrual cycle (amenorrhoea), which logically affects the fecundity.
Also it is related to the number of abortions and premature children. During the pregnancy and the lactancia, the care of a good feeding is most important to obtain that they are born young healthy and strong and to contribute to improve the indices of infantile morbi-mortality.

3. In mortality and morbidity

Mortality is the number of deaths happened in a country and increases with the bad feeding. This fact has been demonstrated in repeated occasions after analyzing mortality at times of food shortage, for example, in periods military. Therefore, the index of mortality of a country is a marker of the nutritional state of that population.
The morbidity, however, is the frequency of the appearance of diseases. The morbidity index is very bound to the diet of the population. Numerous diseases directly are brought about by defect or excess of the food ingestion.

It is necessary to emphasize the importance that has a good feeding for the prevention of diseases. The knowledge of a good and correct feeding through the education (to see scholastic dining rooms), is a work whose objective is as much social as sanitary.

4. In the physical and intellectual yield

A good feeding influences in the intellectual capacity of the people, although this is more difficult to demonstrate. Nevertheless, the brain is an organ that undergoes the consequences of a bad nutrition.
Although the intellectual coefficient is also moderate by other factors, a diet abundant and varied aid to the development of the intellectual capacity. As far as the physical qualities of the individual, a sensible diet contributes to that the skin, the hair, the nails, the eyes, the teeth and the silhouette have a healthful aspect.

In her they will be included, besides water in sufficient amount, an suitable amount of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals and vitamins.

The principles of an optimal nutrition for the children are to supply foods of the main groups by means of a diet ample and varied (bread and cereals, fish, birds, other milky meats, eggs, fruits vegetables and) at least each 2-3 days, limiting the energy in the form of fats 30% of the daily caloric consumption (10% polyunsaturated 10% and, saturated fatty acids 10% of monoinsaturate, approximately).
