                     ZHL Rajasthan -  World food day
For every person, to have a healthy life with the least 
chances of getting sick, having healthy food is necessary. 
Nowadays, the super busy lifestyle of people was pushing 
them to have fast food which is unhealthy. Many people 
were drawn towards the street food like a moth to fire 
unaware of the fact of how dangerous those foods can be! 
Food can not only affect your body but also your mind. 
Nutritionists at Ziqitza tell that have proper nutrition-rich 
meals every day for one month, you will observe the 
change in your mind and body. “You will feel peaceful and 
your body full of energy all day,” said a doctor at 
Ziqitza healthcare. 
It's true! Proper nutrition food is a must for every person. 
In recent days, especially after the pandemic hit in 2020, 
many people got concerned about healthy food and 
which types of food are healthy and which types of food 
are not healthy. But there should know many more 
things about this issue. 
To raise awareness about healthy diets and the food our 
body needs, world food day is celebrated on the 16th of 
Oct each year. This had been conducted annually from 
1945 when United Nations Food and Agriculture 
Organization was established. “On the day of world food 
day, each year have different themes,” said 
Ziqitza healthcare ltd. The main aim of the day is to give 
everyone the proper education about healthy food.
Why should we have healthy food?
Having healthy food results in many excellent results. 
Ziqitza Rajasthan lists a few of them below.
1. Heart health: by having healthy food, you can pamper your 
heart perfectly. Healthy food will decrease cholesterol levels 
in your body and thus your blood pressure decreases too. 
Having the correct amount of cholesterol level and blood 
pressure improves the health of your heart.
2. Less cancer risk:  Food those are rich in antioxidants will 
lessen the chance of getting cancer cells.
3. Best mood: researches have proved that healthy food 
improves the mood of a person. Doctors at Ziqitza Limited 
tells the same.
4. Gut friendly: The natural bacteria in our gut helps in 
digestion and improves our metabolism. “Food like curd that 
are rich in probity’s are gut-friendly," ZHL Rajasthan told.
5. Weight loss: losing excess weight is always a dream for 
everyone. Maintaining a healthy BMI is a must for every 
person. This is possible by having healthy food and a healthy 
lifestyle.
Many people take it easy when it comes to food. Gone were 
the days when our grandparents have the best knowledge 
about how to eat and what to eat. Nowadays had come the 
era of fast foods with lots of unhealthy oils and fats. This type 
of improper food is not only affecting individual persons but 
also affecting pregnant women. Do you know that about 60% 
of the hungry people in the world are women? Nearly 20 
million infants are taking birth each year with low birth weight 
due to malnutrition. “This is a serious issue to consider 
because out of these 96.5% are from developing countries. 
About 50% of children’s deaths are due to malnutrition…It's 
high time we focus on the intake of proper healthy food” the 
words of a doctor at Ziqitza leave us in thoughts! Pregnant 
women and children are the ones who were becoming prey 
for this.
In 2011, the Indian government has launched JSSK- Janani Shishu 
Suraksha Katyakram- a scheme to help pregnant women to have 
the safest delivery. In this scheme, they provide an Asha worker to 
take care of pregnant women. That Asha worker should look after 
the pregnant women from the starting of the trimester to delivery. 
The staff at Ziqitza Healthcare told, “When the pregnant lady is 
close to delivery, they call for their 102 services and they will 
immediately go to the location to take her to the hospital.” It’s a 
very good scheme where they take care of their diet. 
 
Even though many people are showing interest in having and 
maintaining healthy food, there is a long way to go on. World food 
day’s main target is to raise awareness of healthy food. They join 
their hands with many organizations like Ziqitza Healthcare Ltd to 
spread this awareness.
Food that should be avoided:
White sugar:  studies tell that white sugar is a barrier to healthy food. Completely 
polished sugar is not good for health. Doctors suggest that if you are a sweet lover, then 
replace white sugar with less quantity of brown sugar or other sweeteners.
Pizzas:  A piece of 14-inch pizza contains 285 calories. Along with this it also has fat in the 
form of flour. “If you are in a weight loss journey or fat loss journey, you should completely 
avoid pizzas.” Said nutritionist at Ziqitza Limited Rajasthan.
Package food: Almost all packaged food consists of nonessential 
and harmful chemicals and preservatives. Make your time and 
prepare your home food instead of having those harmful products.
Processed food: processed food can be handy for everyone but do 
you know they have many harmful preservatives in them? You need 
to avoid having them bless your body with health.
Deep-fried food: Having deep-fried food once in a while is a little bit 
convincible but never have them repeatedly! Specially purchased 
ones. Instead of then you can prepare them at your home once in a 
while but remember one thing, don’t use the same oil again and 
again! 
 
Remembering these things, everyone should be aware of the proper 
food and nutrition. By having a healthy diet and exercising 30 min a 
day, you will feel your body light and your mind peaceful.
