Analyzing the Effects of Nutrients on Joints and Muscles in Human Beings: Systemic Review
Journal Title: Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy Journal - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
Food is the most basic prerequisite of living organisms. Food builds the body, provides energy for living and working, and regulates the mechanisms essential for health and survival of life. It therefore constitutes the foundation of health of humans and animals. According to a report on health for all: an alternative Strategy [1]. human health is a function not any of medical care but of the overall integrated development of society, culture, economic, education, social, and political. It also depends on a number of supportive services, nutrition, improvements in environment, and health education. Food being the basic vehicle of satisfying man’s hunger, it is intimately woven into the physical, economic, psychological, intellectual, and social life of human beings. Our food has several dimensions, the most obvious being the quantitative one. Insufficiency of food leads progressively from mild discomfort to severe hunger and ultimately to health hazards. There can be atrophy of joints, muscles and increase fatigue. Its qualitative dimension is equally important, because low-quality or improper diets lead to malnutrition and diseases. Food affects health, life span, physical fitness, body size, and mental development. Food also has a cultural dimension. The food habits of people are part of their cultural and emotional life, and preferences for food are ingrained [2]. People may cling for generation to their food habits, which may become rituals and patterns of daily routine life. A satisfying meal soothens both the body and mind and determines quality of human life.
