For Parents
Nutrition during pregnancy and childhood is increasingly seen as a major determinant of growth, development and future health. Extensive research carried out in pregnant women, in breastfeeding women and in infants strongly suggests that nutrition in early life has major effects on long-term health and well-being. Health problems such as hypertension, tendency to diabetes, obesity, blood lipids, vascular disease, bone health, behaviour and learning and longevity may be ‘imprinted’ during early life. This process is defined as ‘programming’ whereby a nutritional stimulus operating at a critical, sensitive period of pre and postnatal life imprints permanent effects on the structure, physiology and metabolism. Encouraging good nutrition in pregnancy and childhood is therefore key to improving public health
In light of this knowledge, the Danone Institutes have developed and number of informational supports for parents. They have also developed pedagogic tools which parents can use to help their children learn about good nutrition and healthy eating habits.
Please find below some examples of programs developed by Danone Institutes worldwide:
