Phytochemicals are chemicals produced and found in plant products. While they are not essential nutrients, diets

made from plant products containing phytochemicals have shown many health benefits, especially in preventing

chronic disease.

Carotenoids: Diets high in carotenoids associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and some cancers.

Carotenoids are best absorbed with fat in a meal. Lutein helps slow development of age-related macular-

degeneration and cataracts of the eye.

1. Garlic

2. Curcumin : Found in turmeric

3. Phytosterols: Inhibit intestinal absorption of cholesterol

Resveratrol: polyphenolic compound which is shown to significantly reduce risk of

cardiovascular disease and inhibit some cancer growths.

1. The preconception period generally consists of the three months leading up to conception. It is extremely

important to maintain good health during this period to help with conception and reduce the risk of certain issues

during pregnancy.

2. Healthy Conditions

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (patients often

obese and suffering other conditions)

Infertility

Subfertility

Disruption of Menses

PMS & PMDD

Under nutrition (chronic, acute)

Cyclic Infertility

Oxidative stress

Poor iron status

Poor folate status

3. Nutrients of Concern

female)

b. Inadequate nutrients : Iron, folate, Iodine, calcium, copper, zinc

4. RDA’s

<18 = 9 mg/day 19-50 = 8 mg/day

5. Calorie and Protein Levels

Protein levels should meet the recommendation for current life stage and calcium needs should increase to 1300

mg/day.

6. Nutrition/Health tips

Consume diet high in Vitamin E, C, beta-carotene and selenium which are found in fruits and vegetables, in order

to protect cells of the reproductive system. Choose brightly colored fruits and vegetables, low-fat meats, fish,

beans/legumes, nuts/seeds, low-fat milk. Stop all alcohol consumption and smoking if actively trying to conceive.

Add Folic acid supplementation and focus on proper weight achievement. Make sure all vaccinations are up to

date before conceiving.

Pregnancy

1. The period of time starting at conception and ending with child birth. The gestational age is assessed from

conception with an average pregnancy lasting 38 weeks. The menstrual age is assessed from the beginning of the

last menstrual period with an average pregnancy lasting 40 weeks. It is important to maintain a continuous supply

of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids are necessary for the mother and fetus to meet energy needs.

4. Calorie and Protein Levels

Need a total of 71 g/day of Protein

No added kcals during 1st Trimester, +340 during 2nd, +452 during 3rd

It is important to maintain a continuous supply of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids are necessary for the

mother and fetus to meet energy needs.

5. Nutrition Tips

Focus on correct weight gain for pregnancy and acknowledge that not all mothers have positive attitudes toward

this weight gain. Maintain sufficient calorie intake to support the appropriate weight gains throughout the

pregnancy. Eat lean meats and fish, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, low-fat milk products. In addition, take

prenatal vitamins. Intakes of seafood and fish will help meet the 250 mg-500mg of EPA and DHA you need daily. Do

not exceed 3 grams per day of DHA OR EPA. Raise fiber intake to 28g/day. Stay hydrated with at least 9 cups of

fluid per day. Do not restrict sodium, rather use salt “to taste.” Consume zero alcohol and consume no more than 4

cups of coffee/caffeine beverages a day. Drink 3 cups of milk or calcium-fortified soy milk to meet adequate

calcium requirement. Supplement with 30mg of iron daily after the 12th week of pregnancy. To help with morning

sickness, eat small meals, frequently. Ginger can help with nausea along with B6 every 8 hours of 25mg.

Infant (0-12 months)

1. Infant nutrition from the period of birth to one year of age is the period of time in which the most rapid

growth occurs. Inadequate nutrition during infancy can lead to disruptions in growth and future development.

2. Healthy Conditions

SIDS

Preterm Birth

Congenital malformations

Small for gestational age

Large for gestational age

Low birth weight

Colic

Gastroesophageal reflux

constipation

unexplained diarrhea

Failure to Thrive

Iron-Deficiency Anemia

Food Allergies/Intolerance

Lactose Intolerance

3. Nutrients of Concern

a. Excess nutrients

Lead - none

fiber- no recommendations

b. Inadequate nutrients

Vitamin D (if breastfed exclusively)

Fluoride

c. RDA’s

400 IU Vitamin D, 0.01 mg Fluoride 0-6 months, 0.5 mg Fluoride 6-12 months

Page 20: Portfolio Project Final

Taylor ReaganLife Cycle Portfolio Wednesday, July 30, 2014

4. Calorie and Protein Levels

Infants 0-6 months need 108 kcal/kg/day & 2.2 g/kg/day Protein

Infants 6-12 months need 98 kcal/kg/day & 1.6 g/kg/day Protein

Preterm infants need 120 kcal/kg/day

5. Nutrition Tips

Breastfeeding is the BEST method of nutrition for infants! Infants should not be given cow’s milk. Soy formula is

also not recommended. At six month, you may add small portions of semi-soft foods on a spoon. At six months you

can also add iron-fortified baby cereal, vegetable (first) then fruit. You can also introduce water or juice from a cup

at 6 months. By 8-10 months, they can eat soft, mashed foods. Do not feed infants hotdogs, popcorn or chips,

peanuts, peanut butter, raisins, whole grapes, stringy meats or hard fruits or vegetables.

Toddler & Preschool

1. Toddlers are ages 1-3 years old. These years are characterized by the accelerated increase in gross and

fine motor skills. Preschoolers, ages 3-5, experience increasing language skills, autonomy and self-control. Toddler

and Preschool nutrition is also where appetite and eating patterns are established, feeding skills are learned and

healthy food preferences are taught. Nutrition during this time period directly affects cognitive development.

During this time is also extremely important to focus on prevention and health promotion.

2. Healthy Conditions

Decreased appetite

Increased Appetite

Dental Caries

Iron-deficiency anemia

Constipation

Elevated Blood lead levels

beans and peas for a fiber source.

5. Nutrition Tips

Encourage iron-rich foods like meats, fish, poultry and fortified cereals. Limit saturated fats, cholesterol and Trans

fats. Instead use sources of linoleic and alpha-linolenic fatty acids. It is very important to teach children in this

stage about how to make wise food choices by providing well-balanced meals and straying away from too much

“grazing” throughout the day. Provide healthy snack like apples or celery and peanut butter rather than high fat

chips, sodas and cookies. It is also important not to eliminate ALL unhealthy snacks because this can cause kids to

want them even more. Try allowing less healthy foods only on special occasions or a less than frequent basis.

5. Nutrition Tips

Promote the idea of eating well because it will help you in what you will become, not eat because it’s good for you.

Stock the kitchen with easily-accessible, healthy snacks. Implement family dinners throughout the week to ensure

Page 27: Portfolio Project Final

Taylor ReaganLife Cycle Portfolio Wednesday, July 30, 2014

that they are eating well-balanced meals. Follow MyPlate guidelines for meals. Be sure to correctly feed and

hydrate student-athletes before and after workouts or events. Student-athletes may need higher kcals to provide

enough energy for sports activities.

5. Nutrition Tips

“Rethink your drink.” Dietary supplements can be beneficial to reduce the risk of chronic disease. Stay active with

at least 150 minutes a week of moderately physical activity. Maintain positivity about food and eating, eat variety

of healthful foods and balance diet with discipline. At-home cooking can help people become more aware of what

is going into their food. Limit fast-food and soda consumption to a minimum. For women in their 20’s and 30’s it is

important to focus on pre-conception nutrition if planning to have kids at any point. Watch your alcohol

consumption to reduce risk for chronic disease.
