Micronutrient Malnutrition is prevalent in developing countries. In Pakistan, every fourth child is deficient in iron due to lack of access to safe and nutritious food. However, one of the most cost effective and efficient way to combat iron deficiency anaemia is to increase intake of iron by consuming “Fortified Food”. Please do not ignore the signs and symptoms of Iron Deficiency in your child. Start giving your child Iron rich and Fortified food from the age of 06 months to prevent iron deficiency. I feel honoured to be a part of this Iron Deficiency Awareness Campaign. Let’s join our hands together to end Iron Deficiency in Pakistan. 😊 #IronDeficiency #TVC #CreatingPublicAwareness #PublicServiceMessage #ClinicalDietitian #PublicHealthNutritionist #MedicalNutritionTherapist #RegisteredDietitian #UmeFarwa #ShahzadRoy

#Diet therapy for #Kidney patients Kidney disease is a common problem affecting about 10% of the world’s population. The kidneys are small but powerful bean-shaped organs that perform many important functions. They are #responsible for #filtering waste products, #releasing hormones that regulate blood pressure, #balancing fluids in the body, #producing urine and many other #essential tasks. There are various ways in which these vital organs can become #damaged. #Diabetes and #high blood pressure are the most common risk factors for kidney disease. However, obesity, smoking, genetics, gender and age can also increase the risk. #Uncontrolled blood sugar and high blood pressure cause damage to blood vessels in the kidneys, reducing their ability to function at an optimal level. When the kidneys aren’t working properly, waste builds up in the blood, including waste products from food. Therefore, it’s necessary for people with kidney disease to follow a special diet. #Dietary restrictions vary depending on the type and level of kidney damage, as well as the medical interventions in place, such as medications or dialysis treatment. While dietary restrictions vary, it is commonly recommended that all people with kidney disease restrict the following #nutrients: #Sodium Sodium is found in many foods and a major component of table salt. Damaged kidneys can’t filter out excess sodium, causing its blood levels to rise. #Potassium Potassium plays many critical roles in the body, but those with kidney disease need to limit potassium to avoid dangerously high blood levels. #Phosphorus Damaged kidneys can’t remove excess phosphorus, a mineral in many foods. High levels can cause damage to the body. #Protein is another nutrient that people with kidney disease may need to limit, as waste products from protein metabolism can’t be cleared out by damaged kidneys. However, those with end-stage renal disease undergoing dialysis, a treatment that filters and clean

#IntermittentFasting (IF) is an umbrella term for various eating diet plans that cycle between a period of fasting and non-fasting over a defined period.

#Diet_for_Diabetes_During_Pregnancy #Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that is first seen in a pregnant woman who did not have diabetes before she was pregnant. Some women have more than one pregnancy affected by gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes usually shows up in the middle of pregnancy. Doctors most often test for it between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy. Often gestational diabetes can be controlled through #Nutrition therapy and regular exercise. Sometimes a woman with gestational diabetes must also take insulin. #Exercise is another way to keep blood sugar under control. It helps to balance food intake. After checking with your doctor, you can exercise regularly during and after pregnancy. Get tested for diabetes 6 to 12 weeks after your baby is born, and then every 1 to 3 years.For most women with gestational diabetes, the diabetes goes away soon after delivery. When it does not go away, the diabetes is called type 2 diabetes. Even if the diabetes does go away after the baby is born, half of all women who had gestational diabetes develop type 2 diabetes later. It’s important for a woman who has had gestational diabetes to continue to exercise and eat a healthy diet after pregnancy to prevent or delay getting type 2 diabetes.

#Pregnancy is a time period of increased #Energy and #Nutrient demands. Pregnancy is not a disease, but a Normal Physiological condition which some women experience more than once during their life cycle. It is recommended that pregnant females should include all food groups into their diet and consume 5-6 small meals throughout the day instead of 03 large meals. Pregnant women should consume a variety of cereals/wholegrains, milk and dairy products, fruits, vegetables, eggs, meat and meat substitutes, beans, peas, legumes, nuts and other sources of healthy fats. It is further recommended that pregnant females stay well hydrated and active throughout pregnancy. However, it is a misconception that a Pregnant woman needs to double her caloric intake during pregnancy. During first trimester the energy requirements remain same as that of a non-Pregnant woman, in second trimester you need #340 kcalories in addition to your daily energy requirements and in the last trimester an additional #112 kcalories are needed. Which means the overall energy needs increase by 452 kcal during pregnancy.

#EatingDisorders describe illnesses that are characterized by irregular eating habits and severe distress or concern about #bodyweight or shape. Eating disturbances may include #inadequate or #excessive food intake which can ultimately damage an individual’s well-being. The most common forms of eating disorders include #AnorexiaNervosa, #BulimiaNervosa, and #BingeEatingDisorder and affect both females and males. Disordered eating issues can develop during any stage in life but typically appear during the teen years or young adulthood. Classified as a medical illness, appropriate treatment can be highly effectual for many of the specific types of eating disorders. Although these conditions are treatable, the symptoms and consequences can be detrimental and deadly if not addressed. Eating disorders commonly coexist with other conditions, such as anxiety disorders, substance abuse, or depression.
