What are the tradition diets of developing countries?
Primarily stachy vetetables
As Income increases.....
food availability increases and physical activity decreases
These chronic diseases are related to poor nutrition
Cardio vacular disease
Obesity
Diabetes
Hypertension
Cancer
Rural, Traditional Diets are composed of _____ and are ________, which causes________
Low fat, low sugar, high fiber, LITTLE variety, carbs as staples. --> inadequate in energy and or nutrients --> undernutrition and increased risk of infection
Affluent Western diets are composed of ________ and are ________ which leads to ________
High fat, high fugar, low fiber, very diverse diets, high in animal protein ---> nutrionally adequate bu imprudent ---> over nutrition, obesity, heart disease, stroke etc
Malnutrition begins during pregnancy, the fetus is deficient in________
vitamin B12 and Iron
Low Birth Weight Infants have____ and ______. This results in __________
high infant mortality rate and a depressed immunity. This results in small weak children who are shorter than usual and undernourised as adults
What are the two main causes of undernutrition?
1. Food Shortages
2. Poor quality diets
Food shortages care caused by _____
1. famine due to diaster, poverty, disease
2. Poverty: food insecurity, disease, less access to education
3. Overpopulation: less developed countries have massive population growth which puts a strain on the environment
3. culatural practices
4. limited environment resources: not enough arable land
Poor quality diets are deficient in _______, ________, and _______. They are ________ energy malnutritive.
vitamin a, iron, and iodine. They are protein energy malnutritve
Protein Energy Malnutrition and two diseases associated with it.
the wasting and increasing infection rates dut to insufficient kcal and protein to meet needs.
1) marasmus
2)Kwashiorkor
Marasmus
lack of energy and skinny (look similar to someone who is anorexic)
associated with Protein Energy malnutrition
Kwarhiorkor
sufficient calorie intake but not enough protein. Eatting too many grains. Infections and inflated bellys.
associated with Protein Energy malnutrition
Causes of Iron Deficiency
Caused by not eatting meat, loss of blood, not eatting an iron source with vitamin C.
Effects of Iron Deficiency
Leads to increased risk of maternal/fetal mortality, premature births, low birth weight babies, slow mental development, decreased resistance to infection, fatigue, kids who get sick more often
what causes an Iodine Deficency
Not enough salt or things grown near the sea, regions with deficient soil (prevented with iodized salt)
Effects of Iodine deficiency
stillborn babies, impaired cognitive development, cretinism (stunted growth and cognitive abilities), in adults can cause poor decision making, goiter (enlarged thyroid gland)
it is the greatest cause of preventable developmental problems.
Effects of Vitamin A deficiency
leading cause of preventable blindness, affects more than 250 million preschool children, causes blindness, depressed immunitiy, and slows growth.

Need for Vit A increases with infections
Malnutrition In Utero: common deficiencies and consequences
energy, iodine, and folate.
results in low birth weight, brain damage, neural tube defects
Malnutrition in infants: common deficiencies and consequences
protein, energy, iron, iodine, vitamin A. results in growth retardation, anemia, development retardation, goiter, and infection/blindness
Malnutrition in Adolescents: common deficiencies and consequences
protein, energy, iron, iodine, vitamin A, calcium. Results in delayed growth, anemia, impaired intellectual development, infection/blindness, inadequate bone mineralization
Malnutrition in Pregnant Women: common deficiencies and consequences
Protein energy, folate, iron, iodine, vitamin A. results in intrauterine growth retardation, increased mortality of mother and baby, maternal anemia, neural tube defects, cretinism in infant, goiter in mother, infection, blindness
Malnutrition in Elderly Adults
energy, calcium and protein. results in lethargy, thinness, osteoporosis fractures
Malnutrition in Adults: common deficiencies and consequences
energy, protein, iron. results in thinness, lethargy, anemia
7 Ways to Eliminate World Hunger
1. Controlling population growth
2. increasing production of nutrient dense foods
3. maintainin the global ecosystem
4. eliminating poverty
5. providing education
6. birth control
7. engineering healthy food
Food and Agriculture Organization
Improves production, intake, and distribution of food worldwide
World Health Organization
emphasizes prevention of nutritional problems through community health centers
World Bank
Provides financing in efforts to reduce poverty
UNICEF
distributes food to needy countries
Red Cross
Works on Famine Relief
In order to have sustainable agriculture _____ and increase _____
grow a different crop in each spot and increase biodiversity of plants and animals
Genetic Engineering
changes the nutrient content of the food. Example: you can insert the gene for beta carotene (precursor for Vit A) into rice
Food Fortification
Add nutrients to food. Example: Folate added to cerals to prevent neural tube defects
Ways to ensure nutritious food supply
1. Genetic engineering
2. Food fortification
3. Supplementation
SNAP
Electronic Benefits cards that can be used to purchase food
National School Breakfast/Lunch programs
free meals for children of parents at or below 130% federal poverty level; 130-185% eligible for reduced price meals
*kids have a problem during the summer
WIC (women infants and childrent)
targets at risk pregnant and lactating women and childrent up to 5 years old. participants often receive a monthly check or voucher - or more recently an EBT card.
Child and Adult Care Food Program
provides nutritious meals
