Nutritional Requirements for Women of All Ages

A woman’s nutrition and energy requirements change over her life span, due to her diverse roles as a mother, nurturer and career woman. Sometimes, a busy and active lifestyle makes it hard to get optimum nutrition every day. With constant demands on a woman’s time, her diet may not provide all the nutrients necessary to maintain energy levels. It is also especially important to emphasize nutrition and healthy eating throughout the childbearing years since a lot of critical development occurs before a woman realizes that she is pregnant. Moreover, pregnancy is a nutritionally demanding period in a woman’s life. Adequate nutrition plays a key role in ensuring normal foetal development and protecting the health of the mother. Hence, proper nutrition should start as early as before conception (from the onset of childbearing age) and continue until after the baby is born. 

Benefits 

B Vitamins to Energize and Revitalize

Vitamin B complexes that are found in multivitamins will help energize your body to get through a busy day. Vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid are essential nutrients to promote conception, prevent anaemia and combat morning sickness during early pregnancy. An adequate supply of folic acid is particularly vital prior to conception and during early pregnancy, as it has been proven to help decrease the risk of neural tube defects (eg, spina bifida) that normally occurs in the first 28 days after conception. It is recommended that all women of childbearing age consume 400mcg of folic acid each day. 

Iron, Energy and Immunity

Many women have low iron stores as a result of monthly menstrual periods and low dietary iron intake. Building iron stores helps prepare a woman’s body for the needs of the foetus during pregnancy. It is particularly critical in the last trimester of pregnancy during which the baby in the mother’s womb starts to draw iron from the mother for storage. These iron stores help support the normal growth of the baby during the first four months after birth. Iron deficiency in infants is associated with impaired cognitive development. 

Calcium for Bone Strength

Calcium is important at all stages throughout life to help keep bones strong, maintain a healthy heart and support muscle and nerve function. The need for calcium is greatest during puberty, pregnancy and breastfeeding, as well as during menopause. Getting an adequate calcium supply is vital in preparing for a healthy pregnancy. If calcium intake is not adequate, maternal bone strength is compromised, which may pose a higher risk of osteoporosis later in life. Sufficient calcium intake may help to prevent pregnancy-induced high blood pressure and pre-eclampsia. 

DHA for a Healthy Mother and Baby

DHA is an important structural element of cell membranes, which has a role in the development of the baby’s brain, nervous system and eyes. Since the baby relies on the supply of DHA from his/her mother, it is recommended that every woman supplement her DHA intake before, during and after pregnancy. Research has shown that a high proportion of pregnant mothers enter pregnancy with depleted levels of DHA. Supplementation with DHA also helps to protect against postnatal depression and reduces the risk of premature birth and the incidence of pregnancy-induced hypertension.

Indications

Women of all ages particularly those of childbearing age. This is to ensure mothers-to-be get adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals to meet the demands of pregnancy.
