This document summarizes a presentation on nutrition and oral health given by Dr. Prathima Sreenivasan and Dr. Giridhar Naidu. It defines key nutrition terms like nutrients, malnutrition, and balanced diet. It describes the major macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) and their roles in oral and overall health. It discusses protein-calorie malnutrition and its effects on oral tissues. It provides recommendations for daily intake of nutrients. Finally, it outlines how various diseases like anemia, diabetes, and cancer relate to nutrition and appropriate dietary modifications.
This PowerPoint helps students to consider the concept of infinity.

Energy requirement:
The level of energy intake in relation to expenditure
which is most likely to prolong active life.
Energy for basal metabolism
Energy for physical activity

maintain the involuntary essential processes.
BMR:
Number of kilocalories expended by the organism per hourwww.indiandentalacademy.com

Specific dynamic action is the expenditure
of calories during the digestion and absorption
of food.
Calories:
