Answer 1

Ans. -

nutritional requirements of an individual or group for two major reasons:

Prescriptive reasons: that is, to provide or dispense food supplies; for example:

• to procure food for national consumption
• to secure food for institutional consumption
• to run nutritional supplementation programmes.

example:

• to evaluate nutritional intervention programmes
• to determine whether the food available in the stock is adequate to feed the household or nation for a certain duration of time.

need to consider the following factors:

• Physical activity — whether a person is engaged in heavy physical activity
• The age and sex of the individual or group
• Body size and composition — what the general build is of a person or group
• Climate — whether a person or group is living in hot or cold climate
• Physiological states, such as pregnancy and lactation.

Based on these factors, nutritional requirements in the different segments of the population can be classified into four groups. These correspond to different parts of the lifespan, namely (a) pregnancy and lactation, (b) infancy and childhood (c) adolescence and adulthood, and (d) old age. You are now going to look at each of these in turn.

An unborn child needs a healthy and well-nourished mother to grow properly. Therefore, a mother needs to gain weight during pregnancy to help nourish her growing baby. Women who do not gain enough weight often have babies that weigh too little (low birth weight). A baby weighing less than 2.5 kg has an increased chance of both physical and mental health problems. It may also suffer more from infection and malnutrition compared with babies of normal weight. The increased requirement of nutrients during pregnancy and lactation.

Increased requirements: energy, protein, essential fatty acids, vitamin A, vitamin C, B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, folate), calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, copper and iodine.
