Review on Nutrition and Dietetics

Abstract

Diet and nutrition play an important and fundamental role in the lives of everyone. It contributes to the formation of a healthy body and a strong mind. We know that nutrients-rich foods can remove toxins from the body, promote a good immune system, reduce hunger, and prevent obesity. Obesity is one of the most worrying, alarming and fastest-growing pandemics. It affects not only adults, but also adolescents and children. Early onset of diseases requires quick attention to control the physical, psychological, financial and social burdens it generates. Children with autism and autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are often affected by eating disorders. Their preference for low-nutrient, energy-intensive foods may alter metabolism, lead to accumulation of oxidative atoms, and deteriorate their mental and physical condition. Although diet and weight loss are now common among the general population, it is difficult to raise awareness of nutrition, nutrition and obesity in children with special needs. Despite efforts, parents of children with such children cannot usually control their diet, as tantrums and behavioural problems are common. Currently, doctors and parents must work with nutritionists and nutritionists to help these children eat healthy, stay fit and improve their quality of life
