Study Notes
- Proper nutrition during pregnancy impacts the health of both the infant and mother, with effects extending beyond childbirth.
- Nutrition before conception, including paternal health and sperm quality, also plays a role in fetal development.
- Establishing healthy eating habits during childhood can reduce the risk of poor eating behaviors later in life and help prevent degenerative diseases in adulthood.
- Many changes leading to chronic diseases begin during early adulthood and can be influenced by genetics, nutrition quality, gut health, and immune function.
- Older adults have unique nutritional needs, and identifying these differences is crucial for optimal health during aging.
- Adequate nutrition during pregnancy, including all required vitamins, minerals, and energy-providing macronutrients, is essential for the developing fetus.
- Quality nutrition during lactation continues the process of providing nutritional building blocks for normal cerebral development and growth of all body organs in the newborn.
- The concept of fetal origins of disease or developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) explains how the quality and quantity of nourishment during critical developmental stages can influence diseases that manifest in adulthood.
- Preconceptual nutrition and health are vital for both women and men, as infertility affects 10% to 12% of the US population.
