Health is the wealth of the country and WHO defines health as a complete physical,mental and social well being not merely the absence of disease.Unfortunately our food intake is not balanced to the needs.It may be due to lack of awareness or lack of knowlede or due to lack of availability or food habits .

It was Protein Energy Malnutrition which was prevalent in our country but NNMB reports [2000] suggest that now it is less than 1% but micronutrient deficiencies are most prevalent among low income group as well as high income group.The majour micronutrient deficiencies  in India are vitamin A deficiency,Zinc deficiency ,iodine deficiency B-vitamin deficiencies like ariboflavinosis,beriberi,pellagra and iron and folic acid deficiencies.
