Eating Well with Canada Food Guide provides advice for women during their childbearing years. It is based on the current nutritional science and help people understand the amount and types of food they need to be healthy and reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases later in life (Katamay et al, 2007).
nutritional needs of pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding are generally larger than other women. Pregnant and lactating women to meet their needs for many, but not all, of nutrients by having the amount and types of food recommended in the Canada Food Guide. The amount of some nutrients needed by pregnant women is difficult to obtain from food. Two important is folate (folic acid) and iron. To get enough essential nutrients, Canada Food Guide recommends that women of childbearing age take a multivitamin containing folic acid every day. Pregnant women should ensure their multivitamin contains iron sufficient. Canada Food Guide also recommends that pregnant and nursing women to eat a little more food, equal to two or three Food Guide Servings each day.
Health Canada created the background to help health professionals understand why Canada Food Guide has specific recommendations for women in their childbearing years.
key messages on the Canada Food Guide for pregnant women
women need more iron and folate during pregnancy (Institute of Medicine, 2006). It is generally accepted that most women have trouble getting enough of both these nutrients from food alone. Referring to the results of the population survey recently food intake, this appears to be true for a large percentage of women of Canada (Health Canada, 2008). This is why women should take supplements containing folic acid and iron during pregnancy.
There are other nutrients that pregnant women should have in a larger amount. These nutrients can also be difficult to get enough from food alone. Some of them are: zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B6. However, a lack of nutrients is not seen in healthy North American women (Institute of Medicine, 2006).
Women who are breastfeeding also have different nutritional needs. For example, breast-feeding women need more vitamin A, vitamin C and zinc, and iron deficiency from pregnant women (Institute of Medicine, 2006).
Table 1 illustrates the differences in the Recommended Dietary Allowances for nutrients choose not to become pregnant, pregnant and lactating mothers.

to develop the Canada food Guide, Health Canada looked at the different combinations of the number and types of food to find a diet that meets the nutritional needs (Katamay et al 2007). In Canada Food Guide, the information presented by age and gender. The amount of food is described by the number of individuals of different Food Guide Servings need every day from the four food groups. Types of food recommended in each group is determined. The Food Guide also includes recommended amount of added oils and fats.
To develop nutritional advice for pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding, Health Canada comparing the nutritional content of the pattern for non-pregnant / non-lactating women with the nutritional needs of the mother during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Health Canada would like to determine whether the pregnant and lactating women to meet their requirements if they follow a pattern.
Assuming folic acid supplementation and iron based on previous guidance (Health Canada, 1999), Health Canada found that the pattern for women aged 19-50 provide pregnant women with most nutrients with the addition of one Food Guide Serving. However, a small amount of additional food is provided by one Food Guide Serving, for example, Meat and Alternatives does not meet the needs of higher energy than pregnancy. Canada Food Guide includes recommendations for eating an extra 2-3 Food Guide Servings each day so that pregnant women will meet their energy needs.
Health Canada also wanted to see if women who are breastfeeding can get the nutrients they need from the pattern for women aged 1950 and eat a little more of certain foods. It is assumed that women not taking supplements containing vitamins or minerals.
To get the nutrients they need, Health Canada found that lactating women should eat more of certain foods. For example, these women would need to eat one Food Guide Serving from each of the four food groups:
Have guidelines for breastfeeding women eat more of certain foods is a concern. Although they will get the nutrients they need, they may consume more calories than they need. Also, the guidance for breastfeeding women will need to be very specific. And the naming of specific groups of these foods, it would seem that women who are breastfeeding need to eat more food than pregnant women. In fact, there was a similar increase in energy needs during pregnancy and lactation (see next section Energy requires pregnancy - Just a little more food).
As a result, Canada Food Guide has a combination of food and supplements in its recommendation to make sure women get the nutrients and energy they need during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
Suggestions for "women of childbearing age" of Eating Well with Canada Food Guide (2007)
All women who could become pregnant and those who are pregnant or breastfeeding need a multivitamin containing folic acid every day. Pregnant women need to ensure that their multivitamin also contains iron. A health care professional can help you find the right multivitamin for you.
Pregnant and lactating women need more calories. Include an extra 2 to 3 Food Guide Servings each day
Here are two examples :.
pregnant woman's energy needs increase during their second and third trimesters (Institute of Medicine, 2002).
Women who have a normal weight at the beginning of their pregnancy needs about 350 extra calories per day in the second trimester and 450 extra calories a day in their third trimester. The extra calories help them gain the amount of weight needed to support the growth and development of infants (see Table 2).
Table 1 footnote
The values are estimates. They are calculated for women settled using Canadian median heights and weights derived from the median normal BMI.
How much weight a woman needs to gain during pregnancy based on her pre-pregnancy weight. For more information about weight gain during pregnancy, see Health Canada recommendation on pregnancy weight. a healthy weight is the best indicator that women get the right amount of energy from food.
Women know they need more food when they are pregnant, but they do not always know how many more. Canada Food Guide recommends an additional two or three Food Guide Servings from each food group. Women can choose foods from each food group based on the people that they like to eat. The amount of food is generally equal to an extra meal or snack.
Health professionals can help pregnant women understand how much and what type of food to eat (see Figure 1). It is important to talk to women about eating nutritious food supplement rather than just eating extra calories that may have little nutritional value.
There are two possible outcomes:
Breastfeeding women also have higher energy needs than women who are not pregnant. How much they need depends on how much milk they produce and how quickly they lose their pregnancy weight (Institute of Medicine, 2002). Women need 350-400 extra calories per day for the first year of breastfeeding.
women who are breastfeeding and who have gained the right amount of weight during pregnancy need to eat about the same amount of food as they did during their pregnancy. Therefore Canada Food Guide recommends that breastfeeding women eat two or three extra Food Guide Servings from each food group. This gives women the extra energy they need while breastfeeding.
All teens need more calcium than adult women. However, calcium is the same for both pregnant and nonpregnant adolescents (Institute of Medicine, 2006). Following the Canada Food Guide pattern for all women 14 to 18 years will help pregnant teens meet their needs for calcium.
Other nutrients (such as zinc) are needed in larger amounts by pregnant adolescents compared with other teens (Institute of medicine, 2006). However, teenagers can easily meet the nutritional needs by taking a daily multiviTamin.
Health professionals should advise pregnant teens to follow the Canada Food Guide pattern for their age and eat an extra 2-3 Food Guide Servings each day. They need more food to meet their energy needs increase during pregnancy.
Health Canada compared the pattern for adolescent girls (ages 14-18) with the nutritional needs of pregnant teens. It was found that pregnant adolescents need to take a daily multivitamin. This will help ensure that they get the nutrients it needs them.
Teens need nutritional care during their pregnancy. They should be seen in the beginning of their pregnancy and often throughout. It can help address their special needs and those that go beyond the recommendations in the Canada Food Guide.
Canada Food Guide recommends that women eat a bit more food during pregnancy, with the assumption that they are following the pattern recommended for their age. A woman with diets that differ significantly may need more or less food. Tools such as My Food Guide Servings Tracker from Health Canada or a nutritionist from Canada EATracker help assess food intake related to the Canada Food Guide.
A variety of different ways including foods from each food group. Following these suggestions to help women get the nutrients they need for good health. Promoting Canada Food Guide messages to "Enjoy a variety of foods from the four food groups" with a pregnant woman.
Pregnant women should choose nutritious foods from the four food groups to get those extra calories. The following are examples of nutritious snacks or food to supplement the food:
All pregnant women should take a daily multivitamin containing 0.4 mg of folic acid and 16-20 mg of iron (Health Canada, 2009). At the same time, they may also need to change their diet to get the most out of the foods rich in gizi-. Prenatal Nutrition Guidelines for Health Canada, including a list of foods high.
