      Cycle Menu:
      A cycle menu is a menu that repeats over a specific period, such as a week, two weeks, or a month. It offers a variety of food choices to customers while ensuring that each meal is nutritionally balanced and meets dietary requirements. Cycle menus are often used in institutions like schools, hospitals, and cafeterias to simplify meal planning and ensure a balanced diet over time.

      Kwashiorkor:
      Kwashiorkor is a severe form of malnutrition that occurs when there is a deficiency of protein in the diet, particularly in relation to the intake of carbohydrates. It is characterized by edema (swelling), especially in the abdomen, along with changes in skin and hair pigmentation, liver enlargement, and weakened immune function.

      BMI (Body Mass Index):
      BMI is a measure of body fat based on an individual's height and weight. It is calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters. BMI is used to categorize individuals into different weight categories, such as underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese, and is commonly used as a screening tool for assessing weight-related health risks.

      Atherosclerosis:
      Atherosclerosis is a condition characterized by the buildup of plaque (composed of cholesterol, fat, and other substances) inside the arteries. This buildup narrows the arteries and restricts blood flow, which can lead to various cardiovascular problems, such as heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral artery disease.

      Brands:
      Brands are symbols, names, logos, or other marks that distinguish products or services from those of other companies. Brands are used to create an identity for a product or service and to differentiate it from competitors in the market. Strong brands can build customer loyalty and trust.

      Essential Amino Acids:
      Essential amino acids are amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own and must be obtained from the diet. There are nine essential amino acids: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. These amino acids are crucial for protein synthesis and various metabolic processes in the body.

      Osteomalacia:
      Osteomalacia is a condition characterized by softening of the bones due to a deficiency of vitamin D, calcium, or phosphate. It can lead to bone pain, muscle weakness, and an increased risk of fractures. Osteomalacia is more common in older adults and individuals with conditions that affect the absorption of vitamin D or minerals.

      Colostrum:
      Colostrum is the first form of milk produced by the mammary glands of mammals, including humans, in the late stages of pregnancy and immediately after giving birth. It is rich in antibodies, proteins, vitamins, and minerals, and provides essential nutrients and immune protection to newborns.

      Growth Chart:
      A growth chart is a tool used to track and monitor a child's growth over time. It typically includes measurements such as height, weight, and head circumference plotted against age or percentile curves. Growth charts are used by healthcare providers to assess a child's growth and development and to identify any potential growth-related issues.

      Osmosis:
      Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules (usually water) across a semipermeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration. This process helps equalize the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane. Osmosis plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including the movement of water in and out of cells.
