Cereals,millets and pulses 2. Vegetables and fruits 3. Milk,milk products,egg, meat, fish 4. Oils and fats, nuts and oilseeds The quantity of foods needed to meet the nutrient requirements varies with age, sex, physical activity and physiological status. A balanced diet should provide around 60 to 70% of total calories from carbohydrate, preferably starch, about 10-12% from protein and 20-25% from fat.

14 NUTRITION IN PREGNANCY Madras Diabetes Research Foundation & World Diabetes Foundation

15 Balanced diet A balanced diet is one which provides all the nutrients in required amounts and proper proportions.

16 Key components of a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy Appropriate weight gain Consumption of variety of foods Appropriate and timely vitamin and mineral supplementation Plenty of fluids Avoid alcohol and sweeteners

17 Additional food and extra care To improve the birth weight To increase the body fat deposits

18 Relationship between maternal and foetus nutrition Inadequate food intake & poor nutrient utilization Maternal malnutrition Reduced blood volume expansion Inadequate increase in cardiac output Decreased blood & nutrient supply to the foetus Reduced d placental l size Reduced nutrient transfer Foetal growth retardation

19 Recommended Dietary Allowance

20 Nutrient needs Protein additional 10gm /day Calories additional 300 during 2 nd & 3 rd trimester Calcium increased during 3 rd trimester Iron increase 15g/day during 2 nd & 3 rd trimester Folate 400 mcg/day * Multivitamins and minerals supplements in special problem

21 Additional protein Rapid growth of the foetus Enlargement of the uterus, mammary glands and placenta Increase in maternal circulating blood volume Formation of amniotic fluid Transfer of amino acids from the mother to foetus.

22 Calcium Calcium is needed for growth and bone development. Calcium prevents osteoporosis Osteoporosis is more common in women Pregnant and lactating women, children and the elderly require more calcium Milk, curds and nuts are rich sources of bioavailability calcium Exercise reduces calcium loss from bones.

23 Iron Iron is needed for haemoglobin synthesis, mental function and body defense. Deficiency of iron leads to anaemia. Iron deficiency is common particularly in women of reproductive age and in children. Iron deficiency during pregnancy increases maternal mortality and low birth weight in infants. In children it increases susceptibility to infection and impairs learning ability. Plant foods like legumes, dried fruits and green leafy vegetables contain iron. Iron is also obtained through meat, fish and poultry products. Iron bioavailability is poor from plant foods but is good from animal foods. Fruits rich in vitamin C like amla, guava and citrus fruits improve iron absorption from plant foods. Beverages like tea bind dietary iron and make it unavailable. Hence they should be avoided before, during and soon after a meal.

24 Vitamin Normal diet, to be wholesome and tasty, should include fresh vegetables and fruits Vegetables/fruits are rich sources of micronutrients Fruits and vegetables also provide several non-nutritional factors like fiber and phytochemicals of vital significance. Green leafy vegetables, other vegetables and fruits help in prevention of micronutrient malnutrition and certain chronic disease. Vegetables and fresh fruits are rich sources of micronutrients such as vitamin and minerals and of complex carbohydrates/fiber. They contain abundant amounts of iron, vitamin C, folic acid, carotenoids and phytochemicals.

25 Folic acid Folic acid is essential for the synthesis of haemoglobin. Folic acid deficiency leads to macrocytic anaemia. Pregnant woman need more folic acid. Folic acid supplements increase birth weight and reduce congenital anomalies. Green leafy vegetables, legumes, nuts and liver are Green leafy vegetables, legumes, nuts and liver are good sources of folic acid.
