Prenatal Nutrition

What is Early Life Nutrition, and why is it important?
Early Life Nutrition is the period of time from pre-conception through to toddlerhood, also known as the ‘first 1,000 days’. A growing body of evidence shows that the first one thousand days of a baby’s life provides a critical window of opportunity where a healthy environment, in particular, diet and lifestyle can positively influence lifelong health. Research has identified vulnerable time periods both prior to conception and during pregnancy where exposure to environmental factors can trigger adaptations in the
growing fetus. (3) While these effects may be adaptive in the short term, they may also be associated with adverse outcomes in childhood and later life, including a greater risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and allergy. Therefore, identifying vulnerable periods in fetal development provides an important opportunity for parents, and health professionals to intervene and optimize future health outcomes.
