NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES FIRST 1000 DAYS

Abstract

What is EARLY LIFE NUTRITION (ELN)? It is the nutrition from pre-conception to 3-5 years. The first 1000 days refers to the period from the moment of conception to when a child is aged 24 months. Why the first 1000 days and ELN are so important? Providing the right nutrition is essential to ensure optimum development of infants. There is also growing scientific evidence that shows that EARLY LIFE NUTRITION also influences susceptibility to obesity and other non-communicable diseases (NCD's) such as diabetes later in life. What is Early-life Nutritional Programming (ENP)? The concept that providing the right quantity and quality of nutrients at the right time supports optimal development/ programming of the body's system and life-long health. This can be achieved through physiological (metabolism, brain and immune system) and behavioral (feeding habits, taste preferences) programming. The health of mothers before and during pregnancy, and nutrition and growth in fetal and early post-natal life, determine the structure, function and adaptive capacities of key organ systems. As a consequence, nutritional imbalances early in life can have long lasting programming effects on later health and risk of disease. The environment has much more impact on your health in later life than your genes. It has been estimated that at most 20% of lifelong health can be explained by inherited genes. This means that at least 80% of disease risk in later life is due to the environment, including nutrition and life style. How does it work? There are a number of mechanisms by which this might occur. There is growing evidence from the field of epigenetics that environmental factors, including nutrition, can trigger certain gene expressions which can influence our risk of developing non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and obesity later in life.The first 1000 days offer a unique window of opportunity to build long-term health. The right nutrition during this critical period really matters.
