Proper nutrition is the foundation of good health and well-being as early in life as an embryo in the womb forming body parts and organs, through birth, childhood, adulthood and into our senior years. Good nutritional habits should be started early in life and carried throughout a lifetime.
Pregnancy is a time of creating and developing a new life and is especially important to not only the developing fetus in preventing birth defects, nutritional deficiencies, and sickly, stressed babies during labor and birth... but also to the mother bearing the baby. Proper nutrition will assist her in maintaining her own good health throughout the pregnancy and even later in life as she passes through menopause into her Croning stage of life. Proper nutrition will help her prevent labor and birth complications, make for easier, less stressed and painful labor and births. Her strength will be maintained, maternal-infant bonding will be easier, her breast feeding ability will be nutritionally enhanced and the baby will benefit from her healthy habits.
Menopause is a time of change for women with altering hormonal activity producing physical, mental, and emotional stresses. It is a time in need of good nutritional habits to prevent many disorders, such as osteoporosis, which accompany menopause and getting older.
Elderly-senior nutritional needs change with ailments and disorders. We often find seniors put on specialized diets and health programs.
We have included some basic types of diets and nutritional therapies that may be seen in a person's lifetime. Before beginning any nutritional program, consult your health care provider or midwife about specific dietary requirements unique to your individual situation. The information supplied here is to be used as a guideline only.
