This document discusses nutrition statistics in Egypt from UNICEF, including rates of stunting, wasting, underweight, overweight and anemia among children under 5. It notes that two thirds of child mortality is attributable to malnutrition. Despite declines in under-5 mortality, achieving UN goals remains challenging due to high malnutrition rates. The "double burden" of undernutrition and overweight is also a problem. Appropriate nutrition is crucial for child growth and development.
1. The document discusses maternal nutrition during pregnancy, outlining nutrient requirements and dietary guidelines. It covers topics like pre-pregnancy nutrition, ideal weight gain, increased needs for calories, protein, iron and other nutrients during pregnancy.
2. Nutritional concerns during pregnancy like nausea, constipation and heartburn are addressed, along with interventions like eating small frequent meals and staying hydrated.
3. Inadequate or excessive weight gain is also covered, noting the risks and recommended rates of gain depending on pre-pregnancy BMI. Maintaining a balanced diet according to daily food group guidelines is emphasized.
This document provides an overview of nutrition basics, maternal nutrition, infant and child nutrition, and malnutrition. Some key points:
- Nutrition involves the ingestion, digestion, absorption and metabolism of food to support life. A balanced diet contains carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals.
- During pregnancy, maternal nutritional needs increase. Recommended weight gain ranges from 25-35 pounds depending on pre-pregnancy BMI. Specific nutrients in higher demand include calories, protein, iron, folate and calcium.
- For infants 0-6 months, exclusive breastfeeding is recommended. From 6-24 months, complementary foods are gradually introduced while continuing breastfeeding.
- Malnutrition occurs
Diet planning is important throughout the life cycle. During pregnancy, mothers need additional calories, protein, vitamins and minerals to support the growth of the fetus and maternal tissues. Breast milk provides ideal nutrition for infants, meeting their needs for energy, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. Solid foods can be gradually introduced around 6 months while continuing breastfeeding. Nutritional needs change during lactation as well, requiring modest increases in calories and key nutrients to support milk production.

5. UNICEF Statistics
• With two thirds of child mortality attributable to malnutrition, Egypt
stands as one of the 36 countries, where 90 percent of the global
burden of malnutrition falls.[1] Despite the notable decline in child
mortality in Egypt, achieving the Millennium Development Goal 4 of
reducing by two-thirds the under-five mortality rate before 2015
remains challenging. Malnutrition rates remain high particularly
among children under-five; stunting among under-five children stood
at 21 percent in 2014, while child wasting and underweight stood at 8
and 6 percent respectively.
6. UNICEF Statistics
• The double burden of malnutrition is characterized by the coexistence
of undernutrition along with overweight, obesity or diet-related
deficiencies within individuals. Children who are overweight are more
susceptible to non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and
coronary heart disease and micronutrient deficiencies due to a poor
diet. The double burden of malnutrition (DBM) is a major challenge in
Egypt especially for overweight/obesity and stunting. Controlling
overweight/obesity to reduce the double burden of malnutrition in
Egypt requires comprehensive and appropriate measures as; 14.2
percent of under-fives are classed as overweight.
7. UNICEF Statistics
• In addition to the double burden of malnutrition, anemia that is a
condition in which there is a deficiency of red cells or haemoglobin in
the blood, resulting in paleness and fatigue; is also a major challenge
in Egypt affecting 27.2 percent of children under-5 and 25 % of
women within reproductive age (15-49 years). Anemia during
pregnancy is one of the leading causes of anemia in infants and
children. A series of cost-effective nutrition interventions during the
first 1,000 days from a woman’s pregnancy to the child’s second
birthday can increase the child’s ability to grow.
8. UNICEF Statistics
• The concern about malnutrition that it has a long series of devastating
effects on early childhood growth and development contributing to not
only to infant and child mortality but also, to physical, and cognitive
developmental impairments among children if children survive. It further
presents considerable risks for future mothers and women where child
malnutrition, leads to an infinite cycle of malnutrition throughout the life
cycle later on. This is especially true looking at stunting, wasting, and
micronutrient deficiencies –mainly iron deficiency anemia affecting large
numbers of children, adolescent girls, and women within reproductive
age. Overweight leads to increased risks of obesity, and consequently to
what otherwise preventable non- communicable diseases including heart
conditions, and diabetes, The 2015 Egypt Health Issues Survey (EHIS)
confirms that non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are on the rise and
remain among the leading causes of death in Egypt.[2]

10. Metabolism
• Metabolism: Converting food into energy
• Metabolism is the process by which the body changes food and drink
into energy. During this process, calories in food and drinks mix with
oxygen to make the energy the body needs.
• Even at rest, a body needs energy for all it does.

into%20energy,energy%20for%20all%20it%20does.
11. Metabolism
• This includes breathing, sending blood through the body, keeping
hormone levels even, and growing and repairing cells. The number of
calories a body at rest uses to do these things is known as basal
metabolic rate, also called basal metabolism.
• Muscle mass is the main factor in basal metabolic rate. Basal
metabolic rate also depends on:
12. Metabolism
• Body size and composition. People who are larger or have more
muscle burn more calories, even at rest.
• Sex. Men usually have less body fat and more muscle than do women
of the same age and weight. That means men burn more calories.
• Age. With aging, people tend to lose muscle. More of the body's
weight is from fat, which slows calorie burning.
13. Metabolism
• Besides the basal metabolic rate, two other things decide how many
calories a body burns each day:
• How the body uses food. Digesting, absorbing, moving and storing
food burn calories. About 10% of calories eaten are used for digesting
food and taking in nutrients. This can't be changed much.
• How much a body moves. Any movement, such as playing tennis,
walking to a store or chasing the dog, makes up the rest of the
calories a body burns each day. This can be changed a lot, both by
doing more exercise and just moving more during the day.

• Carbohydrates and fats provide energy for growing and physical
activity.
• Proteins builds, maintains and repairs body tissue. It is especially
important for growth
• Vitamins and minerals which support growth and development
during childhood.
• Calcium, obtained from milk and dairy products.
21. Growth requirements
• Under weight people:
• Persons whose weight less than 18.5 BMI (Body Mass Index)
• Body mass index and obesity

• 1- Whey Protein
• Milk is made of two proteins, casein and whey. Whey protein can be
separated from the casein in milk or formed as a by-product of
cheese making.
• Whey protein is considered a complete protein and contains all 9
essential amino acids.
25. Api Grow
•2- Skimmed Milk
• It is milk from which the cream has been removed.
• Good source of protein containing 9 amino acids responsible for
building and maintaining lean muscles.
