Impact of Maternal Diet during Pregnancy and Breastfeeding on Infant Metabolic Programming: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Study
Rationale
It is indubitably clear that there has been an increase in metabolic disorders such as obesity across the globe. These increases have been highly demonstrated in the pediatric population with the condition beginning before birth. In the article ‘Impact of maternal diet during pregnancy and breastfeeding on infant metabolic programming: a prospective randomized controlled study’ Aaltonen et al., evidence that obesity leads to impaired glucose (10). The researchers add that blood pressure is as a result of early nutrition to the infant and postnatal life, which forms an essential point of intervention. Therefore, the rationale behind this study is to ensure effective and efficient eating habit for the pregnant mothers to reduce the possibility of the infants contracting these conditions after birth. Hence, the broader aim is to ensure there are reduced metabolic conditions such as obesity among children, especially, in the industrialized countries to reduce children mortality.
Objective
Through this approach, this research study objects to investigate the impacts of diet at the time of woman pregnancy on the infant status as well as during breastfeeding (Aaltonen et al., 10). The focus is directed to the dietary aspects leading to the improvement components, particularly at a high composition of …
