Diabetes Nutrition

Food supplies energy to the body, repairs its wear and tear and is essential for the growth of a child. Our food consists of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, water, minerals and vitamins etc. - these nutrients being in varying proportion.

Calorie and calorie requirements

We require energy for various activities. Even at rest a person needs energy for vital functions like respiration, circulation of blood and maintenance of body temperature. The chemical energy in food is ultimately converted into heat. The unit of heat is a kilo-calorie (kcal or C). One kcal is the heat required to raise temperature of one kilogram of water through 14.5 to 15.5 degree centigrade. The unit of heat, strictly speaking, is Joule (J) or kilojoule (KJ). One kcal is same as 4.184 kilojoules (KJ). In this book, the popular unit, kcal or C, is used to describe nutritive value of foodstuffs and energy requirements. At best, a human being can convert only a quarter of energy of food into mechanical work, a performance better than most steam engines. It is obvious that a labourer requires far more calories than a sedentary worker. Mental activity, contrary to popular belief, increases energy requirement to a very small extent. A person engaged in physical work, however, needs extra calories only for the period of work. Recommendations of daily allowance of calories can only be approximate.
