| Title slide&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
| Welcome to the '''Spoken Tutorial''' on pre-pregnancy nutrition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Collage: Veg and non-veg foods&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: Pre-pregnant woman&lt;br /&gt;
&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;
| Image: of muscle&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
| Let us first begin with Protein:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Image: muscle tissue&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: cell repair&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: growth and development&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: joint&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: healthy liver&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: immunity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: provides energy&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
* Protein is required for growth and maintenance of muscle tissue&lt;br /&gt;
* It aids in cell repair and bone development as well as for joints,&lt;br /&gt;
* Helps in improving immunity and maintaining a healthy liver,&lt;br /&gt;
* And, also provides energy&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
Image: digestive system and body&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: breakdown of toxins&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: maintain blood sugar&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: carry signal to and fro to the brain&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
Protein forms chemicals which helps in -&lt;br /&gt;
* digestion,&lt;br /&gt;
* break down of toxins in the body&lt;br /&gt;
* maintaining blood sugar and&lt;br /&gt;
* carrying signal to and from the brain&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Image:Diminished growth of fetus for its age&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: poor height and high risk of infection&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: poor memory and motor skills in baby&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Group Image: infection in baby with viruses&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
Deficiency of protein leads to -&lt;br /&gt;
* diminished growth of fetus for its age,&lt;br /&gt;
* poor height, memory and motor skills in the baby,&lt;br /&gt;
* along with high risk of infection&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Image: wrinkled skin&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: hairfall&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: tiredness and weakness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: frequent infection in adults&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: muscle loss&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
In adults it leads to -&lt;br /&gt;
* Wrinkling of skin,&lt;br /&gt;
* Hair fall,&lt;br /&gt;
* Tiredness and weakness,&lt;br /&gt;
* Frequent infections and&lt;br /&gt;
* Muscle loss&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Group image: hair, nails and skin&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;
| Image: collage of protein rich foods&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: 22 green and red dots for amino acids&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: 9 red dots for amino acids&lt;br /&gt;
| Interestingly,&lt;br /&gt;
The Protein is made up of different substances called '''amino acids '''&lt;br /&gt;
* There are in total 22 '''Amino acids '''&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;
| Image: complete protein non veg collage&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: incomplete protein veg collage&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
| Let us now look at the two types of Protein which are -&lt;br /&gt;
* The Complete protein and&lt;br /&gt;
* The Incomplete protein&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Image: complete protein collage of non veg foods while editing&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
| All 9 '''Amino acids''' mentioned earlier are present in animal proteins.&lt;br /&gt;
* That is why animal proteins are called complete proteins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Image: collage of pulses&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: collage of cereals&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: collage of pulses&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
| On the other hand, In plant based proteins-&lt;br /&gt;
* some of these 9 necessary '''Amino acids''' are in lesser amounts&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;
| Image: combination of grains and pulse&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
* It is therefore important to consume different plant proteins together in combinations&lt;br /&gt;
* For example, Grains and pulses should be consumed in a combination&lt;br /&gt;
* as they both will provide enough quantities of necessary '''Amino acids'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Image: fats droplet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: Good health&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
| Now we will learn about another important nutrient - Fat&lt;br /&gt;
* Good fats from foods are important for good health&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Image: body with blue dots indicating fat&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: collage of omega-3 fatty acid rich food&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
| There are some fats that cannot be produced by the body&lt;br /&gt;
Like -&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Omega-3 fatty acids '''&lt;br /&gt;
Hence they should be taken from the diet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Image: heart&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: inflammation in body&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: pregnant woman&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: low birth weight baby&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: intelligence in baby&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
* These fats maintain heart health.&lt;br /&gt;
* Reduce inflammation in the body&lt;br /&gt;
* And can help to improve the chances of getting pregnant&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* They also reduce the risk of premature birth of the baby&lt;br /&gt;
* And increase intelligence of the baby&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Image: group image of eye, cell growth, fertility and immune system&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
| After learning about protein and fat, we will now learn about '''vitamin-A'''&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Image: eye health&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: cell growth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: increases chances of pregnancy&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: immune system&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
| '''Vitamin-A''' helps to maintain healthy eyes ,&lt;br /&gt;
* It regulates cell growth,&lt;br /&gt;
* increases the chances of pregnancy and&lt;br /&gt;
* Improves immunity during pre-pregnancy period&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Image: strength and health of woman&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
| Like '''Vitamin A''', the entire Vitamin '''B-complex''' plays a crucial role in-&lt;br /&gt;
* Strength and health of women in all stages of life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Image: vitamin B-6 rich food sources collage&lt;br /&gt;
&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;
| Image: nervous system&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: brain development&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
| '''Vitamin B6- Pyridoxine''' is required&lt;br /&gt;
* For functioning of the nervous system,&lt;br /&gt;
* Thereby improving the brain development&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Image: pregnancy related nausea&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|* Also, it may provide relief from pregnancy related nausea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Group image: anemic cells, NTD, infertility, miscarriage&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
| Yet another nutrient is,''' Vitamin B12-'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Group Image: anemia&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: Neural tube defects&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: add arrows to indicate spine and central nervous system of baby while editing&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: first month of pregnancy&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
| 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;
'''Neural tube''' defects are birth defects that -&lt;br /&gt;
* affect the spine and central nervous system of the baby,&lt;br /&gt;
* which are formed during the first month of pregnancy&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Image: neural tube&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Image: brain and spine&lt;br /&gt;
&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;
| Hence, it is important to have enough&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Folate''',&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Vitamin-B12''' and&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Choline''' in the body before getting pregnant.&lt;br /&gt;

| Deficiency of '''vitamin B-12''' also leads to '''Anemia''', infertility and miscarriage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Image: group image&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
| Now, we will learn about another important nutrient -''' Folate'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
| '''Folate '''which is also known as '''Vitamin-B9''',&lt;br /&gt;
* helps the body to make healthy new cells.&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;
| Deficiency of '''folate '''in pregnant mothers leads to&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Anemia''' and&lt;br /&gt;
* defects of the brain and spine called '''Neural Tube Defect'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
| We will now learn about the role of IronIron is required for formation of '''Hemoglobin''' in the blood and for fetal growth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
| Low levels of '''hemoglobin''' in pregnancy can lead to&lt;br /&gt;
* High blood pressure during pregnancy&lt;br /&gt;
* Preterm delivery&lt;br /&gt;
* Low birth weight baby and&lt;br /&gt;
* Miscarriages&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
| Apart from this '''Hemoglobin '''helps to transport '''oxygen''' to other tissues and cells&lt;br /&gt;
Low levels of '''Hemoglobin''' or iron&lt;br /&gt;
* leads to Anemia.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
| Moreover, Iron may be low in women Due to -&lt;br /&gt;
* Monthly menstruation,&lt;br /&gt;
* Worm infestation&lt;br /&gt;
* Diet low in Iron and&lt;br /&gt;
* Poor absorption due to '''Phytic''' '''acid''' and '''Oxalates''' in the food&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
| In order to decrease '''Phytic acid''' and '''Oxalates'''&lt;br /&gt;
And to increase absorption of nutrients, use pre-cooking methods like -&lt;br /&gt;
* Soaking,&lt;br /&gt;
* Sprouting&lt;br /&gt;
* Roasting and&lt;br /&gt;
* Fermentation&lt;br /&gt;
