INTRODUCTION
God, in his infinite created man as the
highest form of creation and provided us with everything we need for
our sustenance and well-being. The entire universe, all the physical
laws of the cosmos, the splendid earth, and nature were created for the
benefit of man. Hence it is the duty of man to safeguard the health of
all human beings and make them strong by providing good food,
a disease-free environment, and peaceful life.
The human lifespan undergoes a series of developmental periods and
changes right from conception to death. Each period has its own
characteristic strategies that show a rational impact on physiological,
psychological, mental, emotional, and nutritional status of an individual
irrespective of age and gender.
