REET Level 1 study notes
Food and Nutrition for REET Level 1 Environmental Studies
Food and Nutrition for REET Level 1 EVS stays at the primary classroom level: food sources, seven simple components, a balanced plate, regional Rajasthan foods, PM Poshan, and visible signs of malnutrition. Plant and animal sources must be separated carefully, with honey counted under the animal bucket because bees collect and store it. PM Poshan provides about 450 kilocalories and about 12 grams of protein for Classes 1-5, and safe drinking water can be taught through the chain of straining, boiling, cooling under a cloth lid, and storing in a clean covered jug.
Key points
- Food sources fall into a plant bucket and an animal bucket; honey rests in the animal bucket because the bee gathers and stores it.
- Seven food components at primary level — carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, water, and roughage — each with a simple home example.
- Balanced plate mixes grain, pulse, vegetable, fruit, and a small dairy share; one type of food alone never makes a sound primary plate.
- PM Poshan, the renamed Mid-Day Meal Scheme, serves about 450 kilocalories with about 12 grams of protein for primary stage Class 1 to Class 5.
- Safe drinking water at school runs in a four-step chain — strain, boil, cool under cloth lid, pour into a clean covered jug — for daily class use.
