[0051] Taking into consideration of the above requirements, with a view to find an easy solution for diet related modern health problems, some embodiments provide a low calorie (about 466 to about 650 calories) optimized nutrient food by including unprocessed and/or processed food sources to obtain a) protein with amino acids in the range of about 28 to about 36%; b) high content of dietary fiber in the range of about 17 to about 26%; c) omega 3 and 6 fatty acid each in the range of about 6 to about 10% and in a ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 fatty acid ranging from about 0.75:1.25 to about 1.25:0.75; d) omega 9 fatty acid in the range of and 4% to about 8%; e) low content of saturated fat in the range of about 2% to about 6%; f) low content of starch/sugar in the range of about 4% to about 13%; g) vitamins and minerals in the range of about 6% to about 10% and h) water in the range of about 2% to about 5%. Another feature of the optimized nutritious food disclosed here is that it is free of cholesterol, trans-fat, artificial coloring agents, preservative, or flavoring agents.

[0052] A low calorie food ranges in calories as low as about 466 as shown in FIG. 1. This much calorie comes from essential nutrients such as protein, fibre and essential fat (omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids), with no calories from vitamins and minerals. The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for calorie as per FDA food label is about 2000 cal, which is considered as the normal average calorie needs range. Food providing higher than 2000 calories is considered high calorie. In the disclosed embodiments, optimized means even though calorie value is low by reducing saturated fat, starch and sugar all the other nutrients protein with all essential and non essential amino acids+essential and non essential fat+essential carbohydrate+14 vitamins+14 minerals are in amount required for daily value as per RDA, but the total calorie is only 650 instead of 2000 in standard referral diet. Some treatment methods such as for weight loss and for sedentary and obese populations needs the disclosed embodiments of the low calorie optimized nutrient food. The essential nutrients, all the vitamins, all the minerals, protein, dietary fiber, essential fats such as omega 3 and omega 6 contains about 466 calories. Even though the non-essential nutrients can be synthesized by the body, some non-essential fat and starch/sugar are incorporated to avoid the strain on the body of making them. This brings up the calorie content of the optimized nutrient food to about 650 calories per day. Therefore the disclosed low calorie embodiments of the optimized nutrient food achieve a low calorie diet that provides all the essential and non-essential nutrient, at the same time maintaining a total low calorie intake per day by means of decreasing the non-essential carbohydrate and non-essential fat in the food. The ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 fatty acid ranges from 0.75:1.25 to about 1.25:0.75 in some embodiments. The ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 fatty acid is about 1:1 in some embodiments.

[0053] In some embodiments, low calorie food ranging from about 466 to about 650 calories could be converted to a normal or high calorie diet by adding additional carbohydrate, protein or fat as shown in FIG. 1.

[0054] The sources used for high protein with complete amino acids are:soya beans, water melon seed, flax seed, ground nut, de-oiled coconut etc. for vegan (no milk, egg) food, and may add milk/egg protein in vegetarian food and animal protein in non-vegetarian food. The source for omega3 fatty acids are:flax seed, perilla seed, algae/algal oil, garden cress seed etc. for vegan food. For non-vegetarian food fish/oil also can be added. The source for omega 6 include gingili seed, sunflower seed, safflower seed, watermelon seed etc. The source used for high dietary fiber with phytonutrients are: oats bran, fenugreek seed, soya beans, flax seed, garden cress seed, rice bran etc. Optimization of vitamins and minerals done by using natural sources like Brazil nut for selenium, oats bran for chromium, gingili for zinc, garden cress and water melon seed for iron or by adding vitamins and minerals during preparation.

[0055] All these materials are not necessary to arrive to the expected nutrient formulation. It is possible to compound it with few items according to the seasonal availability. Some of such combinations of natural source used as the input material in the process of manufacture according to certain exemplary embodiments are given below.

[0056] However the quantity required will be assessed based on the raw material source/nutritional value so as to obtain about 650 calorie per 150 gms of the optimized nutrient food having the desired composition disclosed above. Further it will be optimized with nutrients.

[0057] According to another embodiment under the invention, is found that, the optimized nutrient food can give optimal nourishment for the developing ovum and sperm resulting in better fertility. Further it gives balanced nourishment for pregnant mother and product of conception, the placenta and fetus; thereby ensuring health of pregnant mother and optimal growth and development of the baby in utero.

[0058] Some embodiments provide high omega 3 with omega 3, 6 fatty acid ratio of 1:1 which was the proportion for the hunter gatherer population's diet (Paleolithic diet). This proportion had a decisive role in the evolution of the human race and it's genetic pattern. Proper function of our inflammatory system depends on the presence of messaging molecules called eicosanoids. Group of eicosanoids made from ecosapentanoicacid (EPA) are anti-inflammatory in effect. EPA is made from omega3 ALA. Another group of eicosanoidsmade from Arachidonic acid (AA) which is pro inflammatory in effect and is made from omega 6 fat LA. So it is essential to equalize LA & ALA to make equilibrium for AA & EPA to balance inflammatory and anti-inflammatory activities at cellular level.

[0059] Proper function of nerve system, including the brain, depends on the presence of DocosaHexanoic Acid (DHA), an omega 3 fatty acid made from ALA and Arachidonic acid (AA) made from LA an omega 6 fatty acid. DHA accounts for 9-12% of our brains' total weight. Drop in DHA levels are known to associate with cognitive impairment or slower neurological development in children. The enzyme needed for conversion of LA to Arachidonic acid (AA) and ALA to EPA & DHA are the same. When LA is in excess compared to ALA the conversion of ALA to EPA & DHA will be reduced due to the competition for the same enzyme by both the substrates. For effective conversion of ALA to EPA&DHA, omega 3&6 fatty acids to be in almost equal proportion and also certain other nutrients like vitamin B3, vitamin B6, vitamin C, zinc, magnesium and selenium should be available in optimal quantity. To keep the balance of cardiovascular, nervous, immune, hormonal, and inflammatory system, it is essential to have equilibrium of omega 3&6 fatty acids along with other vitamins and minerals in optimal concentration.

[0060] Some embodiments also provide high potassium and low sodium. Evolutionally humans have evolved with a diet of low sodium or no added salt diet. On land which may be considered to be sodium restricted environment, powerful inbuilt mechanisms are there in the body to conserve sodium. The minimum requirement of sodium for a healthy adult person is 500 mg/day. Evolutionally potassium in the diet is high, humans have no inbuilt mechanism to conserve potassium, unlike sodium. The processed foods in general have their potassium removed during processing and is replaced by sodium. A number of studies in humans suggest a primary role of low dietary potassium and high sodium in the pathogenesis of hypertension. This food gives high potassium according to daily value and low sodium as recommended in DASH diet. Another feature of this food is, it tallies with the recommended diet for the renal stone patients i.e. low animal protein, low sodium, high potassium and added calcium with plant food to prevent oxalic acid absorption and formation of oxalate crystals in the urinary tract.

[0067] Referring to FIG. 2, selected input raw material like seeds/nuts/roots required for the expected nutrient composition, are pre cleaned individually. Then it is heated at 50-150 degree centigrade for 10 to 60 minutes for removing the water and denaturing the protein and polysaccharides. This will help to destroy the trypsin inhibitors and ensuring easy digestion and absorption of protein in the food. Heat denaturation of the protein will reduce the chance of food allergy. Heat denaturation will also help to destroy the microbes present in the raw material and help to improve shelf life and safety of the food. After dehydration and denaturation the seeds are cooled to normal temperature about 25 to 30 degree centigrade. Then it is subjected to constant temperature milling at about 30 to 40 degree centigrade to obtain a particle size of 50 to 200 microns. After milling it is mixed in required quantities to obtain expected nutrient composition. At this stage deficient nutrients if any like vitamins, minerals, essential fat, amino acid, processed items etc. are added to meet the expected composition. Further it is packed. Air expelled packing or nitrogen filling packing is followed to minimize oxygen and sun light exposure and associated nutrient loss.

[0068] Some embodiments provide a further modified method of preparing an optimized nutrient food. The method includes selecting one or more component from a group consisting of a seed, a de-oiled seed, a nut, a de-oiled nut, a root, or combinations thereof, to obtain more than one selected component. Then the selected components are individually cleaned or cleaned after mixing required quantities of the components. The cleaned components are individually heated at a temperature ranging from about 50 degrees centigrade to about 150 degrees centigrade for about 10 to about 60 minutes to obtain a denatured and dehydrated product. If the components were mixed prior to cleaning, then the mixed components are heated together. The denatured and dehydrated products are cooled individually or if the components are combined in previous steps then in combination. Cooling is performed at a temperature ranging from about 25 degrees centigrade to about 30 degrees centigrade. The cooled products are milled individually or in combination (if the components were previously combined) at a temperature ranging from about 30 degrees centigrade to about 40 degrees centigrade to obtain a particle size ranging from about 50 microns to about 200 microns. Required quantities of the resultant individually milled powders are mixed (if the components were not previously combined). Deficient nutrients are added. The deficient nutrients include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and combinations. The product is packed to minimize oxygen exposure and associated nutrient loss. In some embodiments, measuring the quantities of the individual components for preparing the optimized nutrient food is performed at the same step where the components are selected. In some embodiments, a free amino acid is added to the mixture to meet the essential amino acid requirement.

Individually the selected seeds are cleaned. Then individually they are heated at a temperature ranging from about 50 degrees centigrade to about 150 degrees centigrade for about 10 to about 60 minutes to obtain denatured and dehydrated products of the cleaned seeds. Next, the denatured and dehydrated products individually or in combination cooled at a temperature ranging from about 25 degrees centigrade to about 30 degrees centigrade. Then it is milled individually or in combination at a temperature ranging from about 30 degrees centigrade to about 40 degrees centigrade to obtain a particle size ranging from about 50 microns to about 200 microns. Next, mixing required quantities of the resultant individually milled powders. Then adding deficient nutrients obtain the optimized nutrient food composition. The deficient nutrients are selected from a group consisting of vitamins, minerals, and combinations thereof. Then packing the product is packed in such a way to minimize oxygen exposure and associated nutrient loss. In some embodiments of the method the seeds selected and required quantities are measured at the same step. In some embodiments, the method includes selecting an additional component such as a de-oiled seed, a nut, a de-oiled nut, a root, or combinations thereof to prepare the optimized nutrient food.

[0075] This optimized nutrient powder is precooked by heat denaturation, is easy to prepare and saves time in the kitchen. Taste and texture of the food will depend on method of cooking and additional ingredients added according to the individual, cultural, demographic and ethnic preferences. Based on individual needs additional carbohydrate, protein or fat with omega 3, 6 ratio 1:1 is added to make it a balanced nutrition food of variable calories of up to and >4000 calories as desired. We can prepare shakes, porridge, soup, pancake, salad, gravy, chutney, chapatti, dosa, idly, appam, puttu and any other flour preparations of vegan, vegetarian or non-vegetarian nature. By adding cereals, roots, pulses and nuts with low omega 6 fatty acid we can make high calorie nutrient rich food with omega 3,6 ratio approximately 1:1 for those who are under weight, athletes, sports personal and body builders. By adding carbohydrate/starch, protein, sugar and fat with omega 3, 6 in the ratio 1:1 we can make delicacies like pudding, chocolate, spreads etc. of high nutrient value.

[0076] Method of preparing the optimized nutrient food according to various embodiments from different type of ingredients to meet specific requirement as part of taking care of the health and medical requirement are illustrated by way of the following examples. These optimized nutrition foods prepared by the following method provide about 650 calories in 150 g as per the nutritional analysis data.

Example 1

[0077] Raw materials were selected considering the nutrient content of each item as per the laboratory analysis data of each item to obtain the nutritional composition of optimized nutrient food 90 gms of soybeans, 50 gms of Flax seed, and 10 gms of deoiled ground nut were individually cleaned and made free from foreign matter/impurities and followed by washing with water and air drying. Cleaned soybeans were heated gradually to a temperature about 150 degrees centigrade for about 30 minutes, cleaned flax seeds were heated gradually at a temperature about 100 degrees centigrade for about 20 minutes, deoiled ground nuts were heated gradually at a temperature about 120 degrees centigrade for about 20 minutes to obtain denatured and dehydrated products. The resultant denatured and dehydrated products individually was cooled to about 25 to 30 degrees centigrade; individually milled to obtain fine and coarse particle size below 200 microns, while maintaining a temperature of 30 to 40 degree centigrade. The milled powders so obtained was mixed with processed ready to use ingredients such as 2 gms of algae powder, 100 mg of L-methionine; vitamins and minerals are added so as to achieve the RDA value of vitamin A 5000 IU, vitamin C60 mg, vitamin D 400 IU, vitamin E 30 IU, vitamin K80 mcg, vitamin B1 1.5 mg, B2 1.7 mg, vitamin B3 20 mg, vitamin B5 10 mg, vitamin B6 2 mg, vitamin B9 400 mcg, vitamin B 126 mcg, biotin 300 mcg, choline 550 mg and minerals potassium 3500 mg, sodium 1200 mg, chloride 3400 mg, calcium 1000 mg, phosphorus 1000 mg, magnesium 400 mg, iron 18 mg, zinc 15 mg, manganese 2 mg, copper 2 mg, chromium 120 mcg, molybdenum 120 mcg, selenium 70 mcg, iodine 150 mcg as per calculation from nutritional data and lab analysis. The product so obtained above was packed immediately to minimize the exposure to oxygen and sun light and associated nutrient loss and stored in air tight, opaque containers in dark, cool place.

[0078] The resultant final product was found to have the following weight/weight % composition: protein with amino acids was about 33.5%; dietary fiber was at about 24%; omega 3 and 6 fatty acid were each about 8.5% and the ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 fatty acid was about 1:1; omega 9 fatty acid was about 6%; saturated fat was about 3%; starch/sugar was about 4.5%; a total of vitamins and minerals was about 8.3% and water was about 3.7%. The optimized nutritious food was found to be free from cholesterol and trans-fat.

[0079] This optimized nutrient food contains decosa hexanoic acid (DHA) a nutrient crucial for the developing nervous system of the fetus and children along with all other nutrients in optimal concentration for growth and development. This optimized food was administered in therapeutic dose among the children above 1 year of age as well as among the pregnant ladies and lactating mothers. It was found to be very effective for those who desired to have weight reduction, by sticking to this optimized food alone with enough water as per climatic conditions. Similarly this food was beneficial for those who were under weight and interested to gain weight while given with additional high calorie food.

[0087] This optimized nutrient food was sweet and could be taken with cold water as chilled shake, making it an instant optimized nutrient drink. This contains low level of fruit sugar which will be used for the energy requirement of nerve tissue in subjects on low calorie diet. This was given to obese diabetic patient who required weight reduction. The chance of tiredness and hypoglycaemic episodes were less while on this supplement drink and weight reduction was easy by sticking to low calorie diet.

Example 5

[0088] Raw materials were selected considering the nutrient content of each item as per the laboratory analysis data of each item to obtain the nutritional composition of optimized nutrient food. 80 gms of soybeans, 40 gms of Flax seed, 20 g garden cress seed and 10 gms of deoiled ground nut were selected individually cleaned and made free from foreign matter/impurities and followed by washing with water and air drying. Cleaned soy beans were heated gradually at a temperature about 150 degrees centigrade for about 30 minutes, flax seeds were heated gradually at a temperature about 100 degrees centigrade for about 10 minutes, cleaned deoiled ground nuts were heated gradually at a temperature about 120 degrees centigrade for about 10 minutes to obtain denatured and dehydrated products. The resultant denatured and dehydrated products were individually cooled to about 25 to 30 degrees centigrade; individually milled to obtain fine and coarse particle size below 200 microns, while maintaining a temperature of 30 to 40 degree centigrade. The milled powders so obtained was mixed with processed ready to use ingredient viz. 2 gms of algae powder, 100 mg of L-methionine; vitamins and minerals are added so as to achieve the RDA value of vitamin A 5000 IU, vitamin C60 mg, vitamin D 400 IU, vitamin E 30 IU, vitamin K80 mcg, vitamin B11.5 mg, B21.7 mg, vitamin B320 mg, vitamin B510 mg, vitamin B62 mg, vitamin B9400 mcg, vitamin B 126 mcg, biotin300 mcg, choline 550 mg and minerals potassium 3500 mg, sodium 1200 mg, chloride 3400 mg, calcium 1000 mg, phosphorus 1000 mg, magnesium 400 mg, iron 18 mg, zinc 15 mg, manganese 2 mg, copper 2 mg, chromium 120 mcg, molybdenum 120 mcg, selenium 70 mcg, iodine 150 mcg as per calculation from nutritional data and lab analysis. The product so obtained above was packed immediately to minimize the exposure to oxygen and sun light and associated nutrient loss and stored in air tight, opaque containers in dark, cool place.

[0089] The resultant final product was found to have the following % composition by weight/weight: about 32.5% of protein with complete amino acids; about 25% high dietary fiber; about 8.5% each of omega 3 and 6 fatty acid, and, a ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 fatty acid of about 1:1; about 6% of omega 9 fatty acid; about 3% of saturated fat; about 4.5% of starch/sugar; about 8.3% of vitamins and minerals and about 3.7% water. The optimized nutritious food was found to be free from cholesterol and trans-fat.

[0090] This optimized nutrient food was ideal for subjects with constipation and haemorrhoids as it contain around 25% fiber with water retention ability. It was also effective for those who desired to have weight reduction, by sticking to this optimized food

Example-6

[0091] 30 patients of age 20-40 yrs. with menstrual irregularity and overweight/obesity (BMI>25) were taken for study. The patients were divided into two groups. All patients were given standard modern medical treatment for correction of menstrual irregularities. All the patients were asked to reduce fat, starch and sugar in their diet and include more low calorie vegetables, fruits, pulses/fish/meat/egg/milk along with mild to moderate exercise. Second group was advised to take 100 gm of optimized nutrient food prepared by a process as given in Example-1 daily along with low calorie vegetables, fruits, and to avoid all other food as much as possible for a period of 120 days with mild to moderate exercise, here after called optimized nutrient food diet.

[0092] At the end of 60 days patient in both the groups were relieved of menstrual problems. In the first group weight was either maintained or an increase of about 0.5-3% was observed. In the second group there was a reduction of 6-12% of the original weight. The patients in first group were not able to restrict their carbohydrate intake due to tiredness. But the patients on optimized nutrient food diet were able to stick on to low calorie diet without difficulty.

[0093] At the end of 60 days the medication for regularization of periods was stopped. First group was advised to continue their regular diet and exercise and the second group was advised to continue with optimized nutrient food diet, in addition to mild to moderate exercise. At the end of 120 days first group who were not sticking to their low calorie diet, had a further gain of 0.5-2% of weight and menstruation became irregular again. The second group had a reduction in weight of further 4-8%, menstruation continued to be regular, and they were sticking to the low calorie diet without difficulty.

[0094] The regularization of periods in the optimized nutrient food diet group is due to the correction of hormonal imbalance as a result of optimization of nutrients and weight reduction. When essential nutrients are available body can use stored fat as an energy source. If the calorie intake is reduced to less than 1000 calorie, one can reduce almost 1 kg/week without much added exercise. Optimization of nutrients and reduction in calorie intake with optimized nutrient food, helps the second group of patients in weight reduction and correction of hormonal imbalance, thereby results in regularization of periods.

Example-7

[0095] 30 patients of age 25-40 yrs with diabetics and fertility problems planning for pregnancy were taken for study. The patients were divided into two groups. All patients were given metformin 500 mg twice daily and advice was given on diet. They were given other standard modern medical treatment for the fertility problems too. All the patients were asked to reduce fat, starch and sugar in their diet and to include lower calorie vegetables, fruits, pulses/fish/meat/egg/milk along with mild to moderate exercise. Second group was advised to take 100 gm of optimized nutrient food prepared by a process as given in Example-1 daily along with low calorie vegetables, fruits, and avoid all other food as much as possible and here after called optimized nutrient food diet for a period of 60 days.

[0096] At the end of 30 days both groups showed improvement in blood sugar (FBS&PPBS) values, but the second group who was on optimized nutrient food diet showed significantly better control on blood sugar (FBS/PPBS). At the end of 60 days there was improvement in blood sugar (FBS/PPBS) and HbA1C values for both the groups. But 80% of the first group had not attained sufficient control for trying for conception as per FBS (<110 mg %), PPBS (<140 mg %) and HbA1C (<6%). For better control of blood sugar they were in need to start on insulin. The patients in first group were not able to restrict their carbohydrate intake due to tiredness.

[0097] But those who were on optimized nutrient food diet showed significant improvement on FBS, PPBS and HbA1C. Overweight and obese diabetic patients showed marked improvement with optimized nutrient food diet and none of them required insulin before conception. Only one patient with normal weight (BMI<25) required insulin for control of blood sugar among optimized nutrient food diet group. The patients on optimized nutrient food diet had additional advantage other than better blood sugar control like weight reduction, better ovulation, improved conception rate, less miscarriages and pregnancy related complications like pregnancy induced hypertension and preterm labor. The patients on Optimized nutrient food diet were able to stick on to low calorie diet without difficulty.

[0098] Better control of blood sugar in optimized nutrient food diet group is due to correction of insulin resistance with the help of optimized nutrition especially chromium and omega 3 fatty acid along with weight reduction and reduced carbohydrate intake. Optimized nutrient food diet will help in better control of diabetes with lower dose of hypoglycemic medication, in type I diabetes. In obese type II diabetics optimized nutrient food diet can give cure for diabetes with weight reduction. In both these 2 examples patients were advised to take low calorie food, but those patients in the first group were not able to follow the low calorie diet because of the tiredness. But the second optimized nutrient food diet group patients were able to reduce calorie intake by reducing on cereals and fat because, from optimized nutrient food they were getting all the essential nutrients and body was able to use the stored fat for the energy needs; which resulted in sticking to diet without difficulty and resultant weight reduction.

Example 8

[0099] 20 patients of age 20-50 yrs complaining of underweight and tiredness with BMI less than 17.5 are taken for study. The patients were divided into two groups. All the patients had a physical checkup in addition to blood and urine checkup. Most of them were showing anemia and vitamin D3 deficiency which was treated according to the modern medical management. Both the groups was asked to take high calorie diet with more nuts, rice, wheat, butter, oil, fried food etc. Second group was given 100 gms Optimized nutrient food prepared by a process as given in Example-1 along with said high calorie food.

[0100] At the end of 30 days first group had weight gain of 2-5% only. But the second group had gained 10-15% of their original weight. At the end of 60 days all patients in the first and second group on blood checkup showed significant improvement in hemoglobin and vitamin D3 level. Further weight gain for patients in the first group was less than 5%. But patients in the second group showed additional weight gain of 5-15%. At the end of 90 days; patients in the first group attained normal hemoglobin level and improved vitamin D3 level. But there was no further significant weight gain. At the end of 90 days all patients in the second group had gained weight to normal BMI of 19-20 and asked to reduce the calorie intake from starch and fat to avoid over weight gain for those who had crossed BMI 20. In addition to weight gain and correction of anemia and vitamin D3 level, patients in the second group showed general improvement in health, appearance, confidence level, attractiveness, work efficiency and endurance.

[0101] Both groups were asked to take high calorie diet, but the weight was significantly higher in optimized nutrient food group. The reason for the increased weight gain for the second group patients was, they were taking all the essential nutrients in the correct proportion with high calorie diet. For the proper absorption and utilization of nutrients for body building, it is essential to have all nutrients in correct proportion.

Example 9

[0102] 30 Perimenopausal patients with hypertension, BP 130/90-160/100 mm of Hg were selected for study. Most of these patients were suffering from perimenopausal problems like mood swings, and hot flashes. On investigation most of the patients were showing high cholesterol and triglycerides and low vitamin D3 level. Patients were divided into two groups. First group patients were asked to follow their regular diet and increased sun light exposure, second group was advised to take 100 g of Optimized nutrient food prepared by a process as given in Example-5 and reduce on other food except vegetables and fruits.

[0103] At the end of 15 days all the patients in the first group were continuing as hypertensive. But all the patients in second group had substantial reduction in their blood pressure. At the end of 30 days for all the patients in the second group blood pressure had come down to <130/80 and were asked to reduce. Optimized nutrient food to 50 g daily. At the end of 60 days the BP come down to 120/80 in spite of reduction in Optimized nutrient food to 50 gm.

[0104] At the end of 60 days 30% patients in the first group had an increase in BP by 4-10 mm of mercury and they were in need for optimized nutrient food diet or anti-hypertensive medication. Even though the patients were asked to have more sun light exposure, there was no substantial increase in vitamin D3 level of the patients in first group, mainly because they were not able to get enough exposure considering their life style. The patients in optimized nutrient food diet group had additional benefits of improvement in lipid profile, improved vitamin D3 level, reduction in hot flashes, mood stabilization, weight reduction etc. Low sodium, high potassium, high omega 3 with omega 3,6, ratio 1:1 and optimization of all other nutrients in optimized nutrient food diet group had given all these health benefits to optimized nutrient food diet patients. Even with one third of the dose of nutrients, 50 g optimized nutrient food was enough to maintain the BP to normal with all other additional advantages which makes optimized nutrient food a wonder food.

Example 10

[0105] 20 patients with constipation and piles with bleeding (hemorrhoids) were taken for study. The patients were divided into 2 groups. All the patients were asked to take more vegetables and fruits and given standard modern medical treatment with laxative and ointment for local application for 10 days and asked to stop medication when the symptoms are relieved and asked to restart if recurrence occurs. Second group of patients were asked to take 100 gm of optimized nutrient food prepared by a process as given in Example-5 daily along with regular food.

[0106] At the end of 15 days, the optimized nutrient food group patients who had taken the medicine just for 3-4 days had relief from constipation and piles. The patients in the first group also had significant relief of symptoms but had to use the laxative and anal ointment almost fully. Both the groups were asked to continue diet with more vegetable and fruits and second group to continue with optimized nutrient food 100 g daily.

[0107] At the end of 30 days in the first group there was recurrence of constipation in 60% of patients and 20% had recurrence of piles and bleeding. In the second optimized nutrient food group, patients had regular stool and no recurrence of constipation or piles/bleeding. The high fiber content of 25% with water retention ability of optimized nutrient food gave bulk to stool and softening effect which improved bowel function and peristalsis and prevented constipation & piles. High fiber content of optimized nutrient food additionally acts as prebiotic and helps in growth of healthy intestinal microbes and reduces chance of colon cancer.

Example 11

[0108] 20 patients with allergic symptom, sneezing were taken for study. Patients were divided into two groups. All the patients were given standard modern medical treatment with anti-allergic medication for 10 days. The second group, additionally was advised to have 100 g optimized nutrient food prepared by a process as given in Example-1 daily and advised to avoid nuts and oils with high omega 6 content. At the end of 10 days it was noticed that both the groups of patients had substantial reduction in sneezing episodes. At the end of 10 days all patients were asked to stop anti allergic medication and second group were advised to continue optimized nutrient food and avoid high omega 6 food for another 20 days.

[0109] At the end of 30 days first group patients had recurrence of allergic symptoms and sneezing. But the second optimized nutrient food group did not have recurrence and had substantial relief of symptoms. High omega 3 fatty acid with optimized omega 3, 6 ratio and optimal minerals, vitamin and amino acids present in optimized nutrient food had helped to balance the inflammatory and immune system of the body, thereby giving relief from allergic symptoms.

Example 12

[0110] 20 patients with asthma and on salbutamol+steroid inhaler were taken for study. The patients were divided into two groups. Patients in second group were asked to take 100 g of optimized nutrient food prepared by a process as given in Example-1 daily with their regular food and were asked to avoid food with preservatives, coloring agents, artificial flavoring agents, nuts and oil with high omega 6 content.

[0111] At the end of 30 days patients in the optimized nutrient food group had substantial reduction in breathing difficulty and were able to reduce the dose of inhaler medication. But patients in first group without optimized nutrient food were continuing with the same dose of inhalation medication. Asthma is considered as an inflammatory disorder of the respiratory system. Here also high omega 3 content with optimal omega 3, 6 ratio and other essential nutrients of optimized nutrient food helped in balancing the inflammatory and anti-inflammatory response of the body and thereby giving beneficial effect in asthmatic patients.

Example-13

[0112] Two pregnant women at 16-18 weeks gestation were diagnosed to have structural anomalies for the baby by ultra sound scan and fetal MRI. One is having hydrocephalus and the other is having scoliosis of the vertebrae. Both the patients were given 100 gms of optimized nutrient food prepared by a process as given in Example-1 with other standard antenatal care. Repeat ultra sound scan after 30 days and 60 days showed correction of structural anomaly for both the fetuses.

[0113] This is in line with the international research findings on the relevance of nutrition of the pregnant mother and development of structural anomalies to the fetus especially, the relationship of folic acid and choline on neural tube defect and omega 3 fatty acid on brain and retinal development of the baby and omega 3, and omega 6 in success of IVF cycles and prevention of preterm labor. No doubt that Amino acids and fatty acids are the major building block of the cells and other nutrients like vitamins, minerals & trace elements have structural & functional role in growth and development. Hence optimal nutrients present in optimized nutrient food with almost all the 55 nutrients (20 aminoacids+4 fatty acids+3 carbohydrates+14 vitamins+14 minerals) at optimal level required for the developing ova, sperm and fetus determines the health of the future baby which was responsible for the dramatic result narrated above.

[0114] Few of the relevant case studies shown in the examples given above and the results obtained fully justify our contention that the surprising findings are attributable to synergetic effect of the constituents involved in the state of the art optimized nutrient food according to the present invention. It is also in line with the nutritional analysis report of different food items commonly used for human consumption which forms the basis of the present disclosure.

[0115] More than 70% of the global population above 50 yrs of age are suffering from DRNCD (diet related non communicable diseases) like overweight, obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, hypertension, heart diseases, cancer, arthritis etc. and are taking multiple drugs and undergoing major operations for relief.

[0116] A major part of individual's income and nation's income is spent to treat these diseases. Loss of productivity, illness and the side effects of the medication and surgery is adding to the sufferings. Prevention is better than cure. We can prevent not only communicable diseases but also DRNCD, the life style diseases, with optimized nutrition. Optimized nutrient food having about 650 calorie optimal nutrition food is the simple safe and economic answer to the prevention of the current epidemics of DRNCD. Let food be your medicine, not medicine, your food.

[0117] We have brought out the novel features of the invention by explaining some of the preferred embodiments under the invention, enabling those in the art to understand and visualize our invention. Numerous changes can be made without departing from the concept discussed herein. Hence it is to be understood that within the scope of the claims provided herein, the invention may be practiced otherwise then as specifically described herein.
