Pregnancy
Embryo Fetus (at 8 weeks)
Amniotic sac Placenta First, second, and third trimesters
6
First Trimester
Critical period of cell differentiation
Growing baby is most susceptible to damage from nutritional deficiencies and alcohol
7
Nutrition Risk Factors for Pregnant Women
Pre- pregnancy weight below BMI of 18.5 or a BMI of 25 or higher
Inadequate kcalories intake Inadequate intake of nutrient(s) Alcohol use Teenager Woman over 35 Chronic disease such as diabetes or high blood pressure Poverty and/or food insecurity Multiple Births (twins, triplets, etc.)
8
Optimum Weight Gain in Pregnancy
Pre-Pregnancy Weight Recommended Weight Gain
Underweight (BMI less than 18.5) 28 – 40 pounds
Healthy weight
(BMI between 18.5 to 24.9)
25 – 35 pounds
Overweight
(BMI between 25 to 29.9)
15 – 25 pounds
Obese (BMI greater than 30) 15 pounds at least
9
Components of Weight Gain
10
Nutrition During Pregnancy
340 additional kcal during 2nd trimester and additional 450 kcal during the 3rd trimester
Protein needs increase 25 grams Essential fatty acids Calcium, vitamin D, phosphorus, and
magnesium Calcium may help reduce pregnancy-induced
hypertension
11
Nutrition During Pregnancy
Folate needs increase – needed to prevent neural tube defects, such as spina bifida, in early pregnancy. Folate is also critical during the entire pregnancy.
Vitamin B12 works with folate to make new cells Iron supplements are needed (make RBCs) Sodium restriction normally not necessary
12
Spina bifida
13
Diet-Related Concerns of Pregnancy
Nausea/vomiting Food cravings and aversions Constipation Heartburn Alcohol (fetal alcohol syndrome) Caffeine & Artificial Sweeteners Seafood with high levels of methyl mercury
14
Guidelines for Eating Fish & Shellfish
Do not eat Shark, Swordfish, King Mackerel, or Tilefish because they contain high levels of mercury
Eat up to 12 ounces (2 average meals) a week of a variety of fish and shellfish that are lower in mercury Five of the most commonly eaten fish that are low in mercury are
shrimp, canned light tuna, salmon, pollock, and catfish Another commonly eaten fish, albacore ("white") tuna has more
mercury than canned light tuna. So, when choosing your two meals of fish and shellfish, you may eat up to 6 ounces (one average meal) of albacore tuna per week
15
Menu Planning Guidelines for Pregnant Women
Offer a varied and balanced selection of nutrient-dense foods
Choose some entrees based on legumes and/or grains and dairy products
Be sure to offer dairy products made with nonfat or reduced-fat milk
Use a variety of whole-grain and enriched breads, cereals, rice, etc
16
Menu Planning Guidelines for Pregnant Women
Use assorted fruits and vegetables in all areas of the menu
Be sure to have good sources of problems nutrients: essential fatty acids, calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, folate, vitamin B12, and iron
Use iodized salt
MyPyramid Plan for Moms
18
Nutrition and Menu Planning During Lactation
First 6 months: additional 330 kcal needed Second 6 months: additional 400 kcal Because lactating mother normally
produce about 25 ounces of milk a day, they need at least 3-4 quarts of fluids daily
19
Nutrition and Menu Planning During Lactation
If the lactating mother is not eating properly, this is more likely to affect the quantity of milk she makes rather than the quality
Moderate use of caffeine is okay Regular consumption of alcohol is not advised Iron supplements are needed to replenish stores
20
Infancy: The First Year of Life
Infants double their birth weight in the first 4 to 5 months and then triple their birth weight by the first birthday
Infants also grow 50% in length by the first birthday
21
Nutrition During Infancy
Newborns need a plentiful supply of all nutrients
For first 4–6 months – source of all nutrients is breast milk or formula
22
Advantages of Breast-Feeding
Nutritionally superior Less apt to cause allergic
reaction Suckling promotes
development of infant’s jaw and teeth
Promotes a close relationship
Less likely to be mishandled
Helps the infant build up immunities
May reduce risk of chronic diseases
Less expensive Breast-fed babies have
lower rates of hospital admissions, ear infections, diarrhea, and other medical concerns
Breast-fed infants need vitamin D at 2 months of age.
23
Breast Feeding
To ensure success, the mother must breast-feed the child ASAP after delivery
Colostrum – first secretion from breast, rich in proteins and antibodies
Colostrum changes to transitional milk between 3rd and 6th days
By the tenth day, major changes are done
Suckling stimulates milk letdown
24
Formula-Feeding
All formulas must meet nutrient standards set by the American Academy of Pediatrics
3 forms of formula: ready-to-feed, liquid concentrate, and powdered
Soy formula is used if baby is allergic to cow milk-based formulas
Some formulas contain fatty acids: DHA and AA, which are present in breast milk and may enhance mental and visual development
25
When are babies able to eat solids?
When the baby can: Has doubled his/her birth weight Drinks more than 1 quart of formula/day Seems hungry often Opens his/her mouth in response to food coming Can move tongue from side to side without
moving the head
26
Introduction of Solid Foods
4 – 7 months: Iron-fortified baby cereals
Pureed then textured vegetables
Pureed then textured fruit
Fruit juice (start at 6 months, dilute at
first)
27
Introduction of Solid Foods
8 – 11 months:Mashed or diced soft fruitMashed or soft cooked vegetablesMashed egg yolkFinely cut meat/poultryMashed cooked beans or peasCottage cheese, yogurt, or cheese
stripsPieces of soft breadCrackers
28
Introduction to Solid Foods
12 months: Cut-up table foods
Whole milk
Whole eggs
29
Choking Hazards
Nuts and seeds Raisins Hot dogs Popcorn Whole grapes Hard candies Peanut butter
Cherry tomatoes Raw carrots Many other raw fruits
and veggies Fruit with pits Large chunks of any
food
Additional Concepts
Baby bottle tooth decay
Pincer grasp Palmar grasp
31
Allergies
Milk Eggs Wheat Nuts Chocolate Shellfish
32
Childhood
Around age 1, the baby’s growth rate decreases a lot
Yearly weight gain now averages 4 to 6 pound/year and children grow about 2-3 inches per year until puberty
After age 1, children start to lose baby fat, and their legs become longer
By age 2, most children have all their baby teeth and can drink from a cup
33
Energy and Macronutrients for Children
Estimated Energy Requirement (EER) and Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for Protein
Gender and Age Height Weight EER Protein
Male 1 - 3 34 inches 27 pounds 1046 kcal 1.1 g/kg
Female 1 – 3 34 27 992 1.1
Male 4 – 8 45 44 1742 0.95
Female 4 – 8 45 44 1642 0.95
Children experience growth spurts and food jags
34
Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges for Children
Age Carbohydrate Fat Protein
1-3 years 45-65% 30-40% 5-20%
4-18 years 45-65% 25-35% 10-30%
Over 18 45-65% 20-35% 10-35%
35
Tactics for Dealing with Preschoolers’ Food Habits
Make mealtime as relaxing and enjoyable as possible
Don’t nag, bribe, force, or cajole a child to eat. Stay calm
Allow children to choose what they want from 2 or more healthy choices
Let children participate in food selection and preparation
36
Tactics for Dealing with Preschoolers’ Food Habits
Respect your child’s preferences when planning meals, but don’t make a quick peanut butter sandwich if dinner is rejected
Have appropriately-sized utensils Eat with your child and be a good role
model
37
Tactics for Dealing with Preschoolers’ Food Habits
Expect your child to reject new foods at least once, if not many times. Continue presenting the new food
Serve small portions Do not use desserts as a reward for eating
meals Ask children to try new foods often Be consistent at mealtimes Pickiness will eventually pass
38
Menu Planning for Preschoolers
Offer simply prepared foods. Avoid casseroles
Present new foods to children often
Offer at least 1 colorful food Vegetables are more likely to
be accepted if served raw as finger foods. (for older preschoolers)
Provide at least 1 soft/moist food and 1 crisp/chewy food to develop chewing skills
39
Menu Planning for Preschoolers
Avoid strong-flavored and highly salted foods Offer carbohydrate foods such as breads &
cereals: they are easy to hold and chew No lumpy foods! Before age 4, serve in bite-size pieces Serve foods warm, not hot Minimize choking hazards for children under 4 Serve good sources of iron, vitamin E,
potassium, and fiber
40
Menu Planning for School-Age Children
Serve a wide variety of foods including children’s favorites
Good snack choices are important Balance menu items higher in fat with those
containing less fat Pay attention to serving sizes Offer iron-rich foods Be sure to include some good sources of vitamin
E, potassium, and fiber
41
Adolescence
PubertyGirls: starts at age 10 or 11Boys: starts at 12 or 13
During the 5 to 7 years of pubertal development, adolescents gain about 20% of adult height and 50% of adult weight
Males now put on twice as much muscle as females. Females gain more fat
42
Nutrition During Adolescence
Males now need more kcal, protein, magnesium, and zinc for muscle and bone development than females
Females need increased iron due to menstruation
Females have to pack more nutrients into fewer kcal than males
Three problem nutrients: vitamin E, potassium, and fiber
Nutrition During Adolescence (cont’d)
Teenagers make more of their food choices
Teenagers are influenced by peers, body image, family, media, etc.
44
Menu Planning for Adolescents
Emphasize complex carbohydrates such as whole grains and legumes
Offer well-trimmed lean beef, poultry, and fish Offer non-fat and low-fat milk Have nutritious foods for on-the-go eating Emphasize quick and nutritious breakfasts Emphasize foods with iron, vitamin E,
potassium, fiber, calcium, and magnesium
45
46
Eating Disorders
Female Athlete Triad Disordered eating No menstruation Osteoporosis
Treatment for Eating Disorders includes: Individual psychotherapy Family therapy Cognitive-behavior therapy Medical nutrition therapy Medications
47
Older Adults
The maximum efficiency of many organ systems occurs between 20 and 35. After age 35, the functional capability of almost every organ system declines
BMR declines as we age. We lose muscle mass.
The functioning of the cardiovascular system declines with age. Blood pressure increases.
Pulmonary capacity decreases Kidney function deteriorates
48
Factors Affecting Nutrition Status: Physiological
Disease Less muscle mass Activity levels Dentition Functional disabilities
(interfere with doing daily tasks)
Decreased sensitivity to taste and smell
Changes in GI tract (slowing down, heartburn)
Medications Diminished sense of
thirst
49
Factors Affecting Nutrition Status: Psychosocial
Cognitive functioning
Social support
50
Factors Affecting Nutrition Status: Socioeconomic
Education Income Living arrangements Availability of federally funded meals
51
Nutrition for Older Adults
Nutrients of concern:Water Vitamin B12 and folateVitamin DCalciumZinc
52
Modified Food Pyramid for Adults Age 70 and Over
53
Menu Planning for Older Adults
1. Offer moderately sized meals and/or half portions
2. Emphasize high-fiber foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, and beans
3. Moderate the use of fat
4. Dairy products are important sources of calcium and other nutrients
54
Menu Planning for Older Adults
5. Offer adequate protein but not too much6. Moderate the use of salt7. Use herbs and spices8. Offer a variety of foods9. Fluid intake is critical10. Serve softer foods if chewing is a
problem
55
Food Allergies
A food allergy involves an abnormal immune system response. If the response doesn’t involve the immune system, it is a food intolerance.
Symptoms of food allergy may include hives, rashes, stomach cramps, vomiting, diarrhea,wheezing, swelling of the lips or tongue, and itching lips
The greatest danger in food allergy comes from anaphylaxis
Common Sites for Allergic Reactions
