4. NUTRITION THROUGH THE LIFE CYCLE
22 NOVEMBER 2010

5. INFANTS (O-1 YEAR)
FACTORS AFFECTING TYPE AND
METHOD OF FEEDING
RAPID GROWTH RATE
greater than at any other time of life
MUSCLE CONTROL
spoon feeding
KIDNEY FUNCTION
too much protein and mineral intake
(cow’s) milk-tax kidney

6. INFANTS (O-1 YEAR)
FACTORS AFFECTING TYPE AND
METHOD OF FEEDING CONTINUED
DIGESTIVE ORGANS
small stomach and rapid peristalsis
-small, frequent feedings
DIGESTIVE FUNCTION
decreased quantity and quality of
pancreatic amylase, lipase and
bile limits digestion
and absorption-
overcome by 4-6 months of age

7. FACTORS AFFECTING TYPE AND METHOD OF FEEDING CONTINUED IMMUNE SYSTEM
INFANTS (O-1 YEAR)
FACTORS AFFECTING TYPE AND
METHOD OF FEEDING CONTINUED
IMMUNE SYSTEM
susceptibility to food allergies decreases
between 4 and 6 months as immune system
matures
ERUPTION OF TEETH
as ability to chew increases so do the food
options  

8. INFANT FORMULA VS BREAST FEEDING Molecules in Breastmilk
INFANTS
INFANT FORMULA VS BREAST FEEDING
Molecules in Breastmilk
Antibodies of secretory IgA class
bind to microbes in baby’s
digestive tract and thereby
prevent them from passing
through walls of the gut into
body’s tissues.

9. INFANTS
INFANT FORMULA VS BREAST FEEDING
Molecules in Breastmilk
Bifidus factor
promotes growth of Lactobacillus
bifidus, a harmless bacterium, in baby’s gut. Growth of such nonpathogenic
bacteria helps to crowd out dangerous varieties

10. INFANTS
INFANT FORMULA VS BREAST FEEDING
Molecules in Breastmilk continued
Hormones and growth factors
stimulate baby’s digestive tract to
mature more quickly. Once the
initially “leaky” membranes lining
the gut mature, infants become less
vulnerable to microorganisms.

11. INFANTS
INFANT FORMULA VS BREAST FEEDING
Molecules in Breastmilk continued
Oligosaccharides
Bind to microorganisms and bar them
from attaching to mucosal surfaces.
Omega 3s in formula

12. CHILDREN(1-11 YEARS)
FACTORS AFFECTING FOOD INTAKE
ERRATIC GROWTH
GREATER MOBILITY AND
COORDINATION
SELF FEEDING
AUTONOMY INCREASES
EATING WHAT I WANT

13. EATING HABITS/ATTITUDES PARENTS
CHILDREN(1-11 YEARS)
FACTORS AFFECTING FOOD INTAKE
CONTINUED
MUSCLE MASS AND BONE
DENSITY INCREASE
INCREASED NEED FOR
CALCIUM,
PHOSPHOROUS AND
PROTEIN
EATING HABITS/ATTITUDES
PARENTS

14. CHILDREN(1-11 YEARS)
DECREASING PROTEIN, VITAMIN
A, C, D, IRON, ZINC AND
CALCIUM/KG BODY WEIGHT
COMPARED TO INFANTS
BUT NEED MORE TOTAL OF EACH
OF THESE NUTRIENTS

15. FACTORS AFFECTING NUTRITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
ADOLESCENTS(12-18 YEARS)
FACTORS AFFECTING NUTRITIONAL
REQUIREMENTS
RAPID PERIOD OF GROWTH, EMOTIONAL,
SOCIAL AND SEXUAL MATURATION
INCREASED NEED FOR TOTAL CALORIES,
PROTEIN, CALCIUM, IRON AND ZINC
RELATIVE TO YOUNGER AGES
MENSTRUATION
IRON

16. ADOLESCENTS(12-18 YEARS)CONTINUED FAT DEPOSITION
IN PREPARATION FOR CHILD BEARING
- FAT REQUIRES LESS
ENERGY FOR MAINTENANCE THAN
MUSCLE- FEMALES HAVE
LOWER CALORIC REQUIREMENT
LEAN BODY TISSUE AND BONES IN MALES
MALES REQUIRE GREATER NUMBER OF CALORIES AND NEED SAME AMOUNT OF IRON COMPARED TO FEMALES DUE TO MUSCLE AND BLOOD VOLUME INCREASES IN MALES

17. ADULTS (19-50)
MAINTENANCE AND
DISEASE PREVENTION
SENIORS(51-?)

18. ADULTS CHANGING NUTRITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
