Document Summary
Critically evaluate canada"s current food guide and reflect on the key recommendations relevant for pregnancy: take multivitamin daily that includes folate, fe, b12, enough fluid intake. Include an extra 2-3 servings of food each day to meet caloric needs. Clearly explain, using specific examples, why nutrition is important during the first thousand days (and even before conception). Ntd: maintain the health of both mother and fetus, health complications for fetus and mother if fetus is lbw (neonatal morbidity + mortality) or hbw (labour complications) Define and describe key physiological changes that occur during gestation and their relevance for nutrition outcomes (including critical periods): weight gain for healthy fetus -> need increased caloric intake. Increased tissue deposition and energy expenditure (basal metabolic rate from fetus and placenta) -> increase in pro and high energy foods: growth and development of fetus: increase pro, amniotic fluid, increased blood volume -> increased fluid intake.
