...Diane Jaynes Why Proper Nutrition? Liberty University Thesis Statement Identifying and treating infants with Non-Organic Failure to Thrive that was brought on by poor adaptation and influencing parent behaviors, results in a more successful remedy with greatly improved outcomes for the child and family. Proper nutrition is essential for appropriate growing and development for infants and will have a substantial influence on the child’s health present and future. Abstract: Proper nutrition early in infancy is very important for the physical and emotional development of a child and issues can follow the individual into their adulthood. Physicians have put into place assessments that can be done on infants around 6-8 weeks and again around 8-9 months that can detect early problems such as failure to thrive. Small kids that have been diagnosed with Autism tend to have issues with proper nutrition because of the sensitivity of foods and end up with a diagnosis of failure to thrive also. A feeding checklist for non-organic failure to thrive patients, is a great tool for helping medical personal observe feeding interactions with the infants and their parents that helps with recognizing feeding issues with the parents or caregivers. Medical professionals have advised that extensive time prior the initial conception, the nutrition of the parents has an impact on the infant’s growth all the way into adulthood and beyond (Shepard, 2009). All females that are at...

...Effects of Smoking and Pregnancy William Franklin Stewart Marshall University January 19, 2010 Thesis Statement Smoking during pregnancy is associated with many adverse outcomes for children as well as negative consequences for child health and development. Maternal smoking late in pregnancy reduces birth weight and size. Babies that are born to habitual smokers "weigh, on average, about 9 oz. less, and are shorter both at birth and in the years to come" (Berger 115). Nicotine is the addictive ingredient in cigarettes and breaking that habit can be nearly impossible for some women. What is the acceptable way for her to stop smoking? It's my opinion a woman needs to gather all of the information she can and then discuss her options with her doctor. Only she and the doctor can know how her body reacts to certain medications and to nicotine withdrawal. Discussed in this paper are some of the issues facing the mother and child. Effects of Smoking and Pregnancy Quitting Smoking First and foremost, a woman should quit smoking if she is thinking about becoming pregnant. Quitting will help produce a baby that will be of the same birth weight of a baby born of a woman who has never smoked. Doctors have different opinions to the correct way to quit. Some favor quitting cold turkey, stepping down gradually, taking prescription drugs such as Zyban and Chantix. Both of these need a prescription in most cases and both can have serious side effects as well. Wearing patches...

ABUCEJO, RN August, 2012 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE INTRODUCTION Rationale of the Study The Child Survival Strategy published by the Department of Health has emphasized the need to strengthen health services of children throughout the stages. The neonatal period has been identified as one of the most crucial phases in the survival and development of the child. The Millennium Development Goal Number four (4) of reducing under five child mortality can be achieved by the Philippines, however, if the neonatal mortality rates are not addressed from its non-moving trend of decline, MDG 4 might not be achieved (http://www.doh.gov.ph/node/2664). Based on health statistics, the Philippines is one of the 42 countries that account for 90% of under-five mortality worldwide. Eighty two thousand (82,000) Filipino children under five years old die every year. Thirty seven percent (37%) or 40,000 of them are newborn. Majority of them (3/4) die within the first two days of life, mostly from preventable causes. The high mortality and morbidity rates in newborn are directly related to inappropriate hospital and community practices...

...BUSINESS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES, AARHUS UNIVERSITY Department for Marketing and Statistics March 2012 Diet and eating habits at the transition to motherhood: Influencing factors, self-developed coping strategies and how the public and private sector can support the maintenance of a healthy diet Master Thesis Master of Sciences in Marketing Author: Supervisor: Sandra Denise Kunz Petersen Jessica Aschemann-Witzel EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PURPOSE – The purpose of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of the changes in diet and eating behavior women experience during the transition to motherhood, the underlying influencing factors, as well as their self-developed coping strategies, in order to devise recommendations for the public and private sector to support the adaption and maintenance of healthy eating habits during this transition. METHOD – A life course perspective was adopted and behavioral change models, used in health-related research, applied. In addition, the data of 18 qualitative e-mail interviews with German mothers was analyzed by means of qualitative content analysis. FINDINGS – The transition to parenthood represents an important life event that can be divided into several phases, each of which is characterized by a range of distinct changes in women’s eating behavior and influencing factors thereof. Women develop coping strategies to face these challenges, but are still found to lack perceived behavioral control and self-efficacy and are confronted with perceived...

...where sick people find medical treatment. Nutrition strategies Before 1992, ad hoc programmes addressed the problem of malnutrition. Following the International Conference on Nutrition (ICN), held in Rome in December 1992 and sponsored by FAO and WHO, nutrition programmes in Egypt have been enhanced. Egypt presented a country paper at the conference and took part in post-ICN condensed nutrition activities. A ministerial decree of 1994 formulated a high-level inter-ministerial committee representing the ministries of agriculture, health, planning, information, supply, education and academia. The outcome was the development of the Egyptian National Strategy for Nutrition, which has nine main policy areas. Each policy area includes a problem statement, a goal, measurable objectives, actions, authorities responsible for undertaking the different activities, resources, legislation (if required), and monitoring and evaluation indicators. The main policy areas are: * incorporating nutrition objectives, considerations and components into development policies and programmes; * improving household food security; * protecting consumers through improved food quality and safety; * preventing and managing...

...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION In developing countries, millions of young children suffer from nutritional deficiencies and frequent infections. There is now a large and increasing body of evidence to indicate that nutrition and health affect human’s cognitive, motor, and behavioral development, both pre- and postnatal. The impact of a biological insult depends on the stage of a child’s development, as well as the severity and duration of the insult. However, because nutritional deficiencies and infections frequently occur together, the problems resulting from any one insult may be exacerbated by the presence of another, and the effects can be cumulative. The study of nutrients in food, how the body uses nutrients, and the relationship between diet, health and disease. Major food manufacturers employ nutritionists and food scientists. Nutritionists may also work in journalism, education and research. Many nutritionists work in the field of food science and technology. There is a lot of overlap between what nutritionists and dietitians do and studied. Some nutritionists work in health care, some dietitians work in the food industry, but a higher percentage of nutritionists work in the food industry and food science and technology, and a higher percentage of dietitians work in health care. One could very loosely generalize and say that a nutritionist focuses firstly on a food, and then looks at its effects on people, while a dietician looks at the human, and then how that human's health...

Mala-atao June 2011 Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE Background of the Study “A cup of coffee will do.” One might say this early morning before leaving for work or for school, in the afternoon when you are so busy doing all your stuff and you feel drained, or late evening when you need to be awake to study a pile of lectures, make your requirements, prepare for your report and the like. It is really a fact that nowadays people are hooked at drinking coffee for them to stay alive and more alert. For some, it has become a habit. Aside from that, it is also undeniable that coffee production is in greater amounts. Coffee shops are widely spread, and if you passed by a grocery mart or mini-store along the corner of your streets, you can buy an instant coffee product. It is readily available in market at an affordable cost. What is really in coffee that we seem to be addicted with? It is actually the caffeine. Caffeine is a drug that is naturally produced in the leaves and seeds of many plants. It's also produced artificially and added to certain foods (www.kids.org.caffeine.html). Caffeine is defined as a drug because...

...Introduction HOW SHOULD YOU INTERPRET YOUR SCORES? In the Answer key at the end of the each set of Listening and Reading answers you will find a chart which will help you assess if, on the basis of your practice test results, you are ready to take the IELTS exam. In interpreting your score, there are a number of points you should bear in mind. Your performance in the real IELTS test will be reported in two ways: there will be a Band Score from 1 to 9 for each of the modules and an Overall Band Score from 1 to 9, which is the average of your scores in the four modules. However, institutions considering your application are advised to look at both the Overall Band and the Bands for each module. They do this in order to see if you have the language skills needed for a particular course of study. For example, if your course has a lot of reading and writing, but no lectures, listening comprehension might be less important and a score of 5 in Listening might be acceptable if the Overall Band Score was 7. However, for a course where there are lots of lectures and spoken instructions, a score of 5 in Listening might be unacceptable even though the Overall Band Score was 7. Once you have marked your papers you should have some idea of whether your Listening and Reading skills are good enough for you to try the real IELTS test. If you did well enough in one module but not in others, you will have to decide for yourself whether you are ready to take the proper test yet...
