|&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;Narration&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 00:01&lt;br /&gt;
| Welcome to the '''Spoken Tutorial''' on pre-pregnancy nutrition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 00:05&lt;br /&gt;
| In this tutorial, we will learn about -Nutritional requirements during reproductive age and pre-pregnancy period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 00:14&lt;br /&gt;
| Let us first begin with '''Protein'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 00:17&lt;br /&gt;
| '''Protein''' is required for growth and maintenance of muscle tissue&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|00:22&lt;br /&gt;
| It aids in cell repair and bone development as well as for joints,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|00:27&lt;br /&gt;
|It helps in improving immunity and maintaining a healthy liver,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And, also provides energy&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|00:34&lt;br /&gt;
|'''Protein''' forms chemicals which helps in - digestion,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
break down of toxins in the body&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|00:41&lt;br /&gt;
| Maintaining blood sugar and carrying signal to and from the brain&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 00:47&lt;br /&gt;
|Deficiency of '''Protein''' leads to - diminished growth of fetus for its age,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|00:52&lt;br /&gt;
| Poor height, memory and motor skills in the baby, along with high risk of infection&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 01:00&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
In adults, it leads to -  Wrinkling of skin,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hair fall,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|01:05&lt;br /&gt;
| Tiredness and weakness,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|01:08&lt;br /&gt;
| Frequent infections and Muscle loss&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 01:11&lt;br /&gt;
| Another '''Protein''' called '''Keratin''' is an important part of - hair, nails and skin&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 01:18&lt;br /&gt;
| Interestingly, The '''Protein''' is made up of different substances called '''Amino acids '''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|01:24&lt;br /&gt;
| There are in total 22 '''Amino acids '''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Out of which 9 '''Amino acids '''have to be taken from the diet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 01:33&lt;br /&gt;
| Let us now look at the two types of '''Protein''' which are - The Complete '''Protein''' and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Incomplete '''Protein'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 01:41&lt;br /&gt;
| All 9 '''Amino acids''' mentioned earlier are present in animal '''Proteins'''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|01:46&lt;br /&gt;
| That is why animal '''Proteins''' are called complete '''Proteins'''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 01:51&lt;br /&gt;
| On the other hand, In plant based '''Proteins''' -&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
some of these 9 necessary '''Amino acids''' are in lesser amounts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|02:00&lt;br /&gt;
|For example, cereals are low in '''Lysine''' while pulses are low in '''Methionine'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 02:07&lt;br /&gt;
| It is therefore important to consume different plant '''Proteins''' together in combinations&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|02:13&lt;br /&gt;
| For example, Grains and pulses should be consumed in a combination as they both will provide enough quantities of necessary '''Amino acids'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 02:23&lt;br /&gt;
| Now we will learn about another important nutrient - Fat&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|02:28&lt;br /&gt;
| Good fats from foods are important for good health&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 02:32&lt;br /&gt;
| There are some fats that cannot be produced by the body, Like - '''Omega-3 fatty acids '''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hence they should be taken from the diet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 02:40&lt;br /&gt;
| These fats maintain heart health.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|02:42&lt;br /&gt;
| Reduce inflammation in the body&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And can help to improve the chances of getting pregnant&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
02:48&lt;br /&gt;
|They also reduce the risk of premature birth of the baby&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And increase intelligence in the baby&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 02:56&lt;br /&gt;
| After learning about '''Protein''' and fat, we will now learn about '''vitamin-A'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 03:01&lt;br /&gt;
| '''Vitamin-A''' helps to maintain healthy eyes ,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It regulates cell growth,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|03:07&lt;br /&gt;
| increases the chances of pregnancy and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Improves immunity during pre-pregnancy period&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 03:14&lt;br /&gt;
| Like '''Vitamin A''', the entire '''Vitamin B-complex''' plays a crucial role in- Strength and health of women in all stages of life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 03:24&lt;br /&gt;
| Among all the '''B-Vitamins''', we will first look at '''Vitamin B-6'''- '''pyridoxine '''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 03:31&lt;br /&gt;
| '''Vitamin B6- Pyridoxine''' is required for functioning of the nervous system,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thereby improving the brain development&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 03:39&lt;br /&gt;
| Also, it may provide relief from pregnancy related nausea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 03:44&lt;br /&gt;
| Yet another nutrient is,''' Vitamin B12''' which along with '''folate''' &amp;amp; '''choline '''helps to prevent -&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Anemia''' and '''Neural tube defects'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|03:54&lt;br /&gt;
|'''Neural tube''' defects are birth defects that - affect the spine and central nervous system of the baby, which are formed during the first month of pregnancy&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 04:04&lt;br /&gt;
| Note that, a '''neural tube''' is a part of the foetus that develops into the brain and spinal cord.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 04:11&lt;br /&gt;
| Hence, it is important to have enough&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Folate''', '''Vitamin-B12''' and '''Choline''' in the body before getting pregnant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 04:20&lt;br /&gt;
| Deficiency of '''vitamin B-12''' also leads to '''Anemia''', infertility and miscarriage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 04:27&lt;br /&gt;
| Now, we will learn about another important nutrient -''' Folate'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 04:31&lt;br /&gt;
| '''Folate '''which is also known as '''Vitamin-B9''', helps the body to make healthy new cells.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|04:38&lt;br /&gt;
|These cells carry '''oxygen''' from the lungs to all parts of the body.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 04:43&lt;br /&gt;
| Deficiency of '''folate '''in pregnant mothers leads to '''Anemia''' and defects of the brain and spine called '''Neural Tube Defects'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 04:52&lt;br /&gt;
| Note that: '''Neural Tube Defects '''has been explained earlier in the same tutorial.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|04:58&lt;br /&gt;
| We will now learn about the role of Iron&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Iron is required for formation of '''Hemoglobin''' in the blood and for fetal growth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 05:07&lt;br /&gt;
| Low levels of '''hemoglobin''' in pregnancy can lead to - High blood pressure during pregnancy&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|05:13&lt;br /&gt;
|Preterm delivery&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|05:15 &lt;br /&gt;
| Low birth weight baby and Miscarriages&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 05:18&lt;br /&gt;
| Apart from this, &lt;br /&gt;
'''Hemoglobin '''helps to transport '''oxygen''' to other tissues and cells&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|05:25&lt;br /&gt;
|Low levels of '''Hemoglobin''' or iron leads to Anemia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 05:30&lt;br /&gt;
| Moreover, Iron may be low in women due to - Monthly menstruation,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|05:36&lt;br /&gt;
| Worm infestation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|05:38&lt;br /&gt;
| Diet low in Iron and Poor absorption due to '''Phytic''' '''acid''' and '''Oxalates''' in the food&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 05:45&lt;br /&gt;
| In order to decrease, '''Phytic acid''' and '''Oxalates''' and to increase absorption of nutrients -&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|05:52&lt;br /&gt;
|Use pre-cooking methods like - Soaking, Sprouting, Roasting and Fermentation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 06:00&lt;br /&gt;
| Signs of Iron deficiency '''Anemia''' are -&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tiredness and lack of energy&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|06:06&lt;br /&gt;
| Breathlessness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Increase in heart rate&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|06:10&lt;br /&gt;
| And Pale skin&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 06:11&lt;br /&gt;
| Remember, with Iron -&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Always consume '''Vitamin-C '''rich foods as it will help in iron absorption&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|06:19&lt;br /&gt;
|'''Vitamin-C '''also enhances immunity and thus reduces infections.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 06:25&lt;br /&gt;
| Next, we will learn the importance of '''Calcium '''&amp;amp; '''Vitamin D'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|06:30&lt;br /&gt;
|It is suggested to consume '''Calcium''' as it helps in development of bones&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|06:35&lt;br /&gt;
|The fetus requires '''Calcium''' for bone and teeth development.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|06:39&lt;br /&gt;
| Low levels of '''Calcium''' can cause weak bones&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|06:43&lt;br /&gt;
|However, remember that- '''Vitamin-D''' is required to absorb '''calcium '''in the body.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 06:50&lt;br /&gt;
| The best way to obtain '''Vitamin-D''' is exposure to sunlight between 11.00 am to 3.00 pm for 15 to 20 mins&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 06:59&lt;br /&gt;
| Next, we will learn about '''Choline.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 07:02&lt;br /&gt;
| '''Choline''' is important for brain development of the baby&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
as it enhances memory and attention span.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 07:09&lt;br /&gt;
| Deficiency of''' Choline''' leads to- fatty liver in adults&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|07:13&lt;br /&gt;
| Miscarriages and '''Neural tube defects''' in fetus -&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
which is mentioned earlier in this tutorial&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 07:20&lt;br /&gt;
| Let’s move ahead and learn the importance of '''Zinc''',&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 07:24&lt;br /&gt;
| '''Zinc''' is important for immunity and cell growth -&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It helps in making genetic material and '''protein''' in the body&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|07:31&lt;br /&gt;
|It helps in healing of wounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also it contributes to ovulation and fertility in women&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|07:37&lt;br /&gt;
|And it is important for growth of the fetus&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|07:40&lt;br /&gt;
| Note that - lack of dietary '''Zinc '''can affect the sense of taste and smell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|07:46&lt;br /&gt;
| Delay the growth of placenta: which is the cord that transports nutrients from mother to the fetus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 07:53&lt;br /&gt;
| Lack of '''Zinc''' also affects the growth of embryo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And results in low birth weight baby&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 08:00&lt;br /&gt;
| Another significant nutrient that we will look at, is, '''Iodine''' -&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|08:05&lt;br /&gt;
|'''Iodine''' is required by the body to maintain normal levels of thyroid hormone,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
which are produced by the '''Thyroid''' '''gland'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 08:13&lt;br /&gt;
| Deficiency of '''Iodine '''in mother leads to Increased risk of miscarriage and stillbirth of the baby&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|08:21&lt;br /&gt;
| It can also lead to - birth deformities&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Low birth weight, Stunted growth and Mental retardation in the baby&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|08:30&lt;br /&gt;
| '''Magnesium''' is another nutrient which helps to calm the nervous system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|08:35&lt;br /&gt;
|It prevents - cramps and migraine headaches by relaxing the blood vessels in the brain&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 08:41&lt;br /&gt;
| It also maintains healthy blood pressure and rhythm of the heart&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|08:45&lt;br /&gt;
| It helps in production of genetic material and enhances bone development&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 08:51&lt;br /&gt;
| Apart from a healthy nutrition for a healthy pregnancy - &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
it is important to avoid Alcohol as it can lead to miscarriage or weak embryo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|09:00&lt;br /&gt;
|Other things to be avoided are - Tobacco&lt;br /&gt;

|09:15&lt;br /&gt;
| As these substances can affect reproductive health and have adverse effects on pregnancy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 09:20&lt;br /&gt;
| Note that,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is also important to manage weight before becoming pregnant,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 09:25&lt;br /&gt;
| Underweight women give birth to small babies or preterm babies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which are born during 7 to 8 months of pregnancy&lt;br /&gt;
