Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
Unhealthy food trends in fast-food consumption have been associated with increasing rates of various diseases among children and adolescents, and greater total energy intake and poorer nutrient intakes. In worldwide different plates (My plate) have been introduced like in U.S.A. “My plate”, in U.K. “Eatwell plate” and in Australia a plate guided by “Australian dietary guideline” has been introduced to help people to have a balanced diet. MyPlate helps in identifying the routine proportions for the fruits, vegetables, cereals, protein and dairy food groups. The Food Guide Pyramid became one of the most recognized, useful, and influential food guides in history, which is universally adopted as an icon and used by nutrition educators, in food industry and various nutrition programs in schools. The launch of MyPlate concept kicked off an innovative idea to help people to have healthy food. In India there are different regions, religions and beliefs so a universal My Plate concept is not feasible concept, hereby we attempt a MyPlate concept in coastal region of Karnataka after considering nutritional knowledge, food habits and economical reach.
