Nutrition in the Life Cycle

This exercise helps the nursing students develop an appreciation for the special needs throughout
the life cycle, e.g., (1) in pregnancy and lactation, to meet additional requirements of mother and
baby; (2) in infancy and early childhood, to lay the foundation for future health; (3) in later
childhood and adolescence, to strengthen this foundation for physical, mental and emotional
health; and (4) in later adult life, to conserve health and postpone degenerative diseases
characteristic of this period.
