In this tutorial, we will learn about -
|
Image: muscle | Let us first begin with Protein: |
Image: muscle tissue
Image: cell repair Image: growth and development Image: joint Image: healthy liver Image: immunity Image: provides energy |
|
Image: digestive system and body Image: breakdown of toxins Image: maintain blood sugar Image: carry signal to and fro to the brain |
Protein forms chemicals which helps in -
|
Image:Diminished growth of fetus for its age

Now we will learn about another important nutrient - Fat
|
Image: body with blue dots indicating fat
Image: collage of omega-3 fatty acid rich food |
There are some fats that cannot be produced by the body
Like -
Hence they should be taken from the diet |
Image: heart
Image: inflammation in body Image: pregnant woman Image: low birth weight baby Image: intelligence in baby |
|
Image: group image of eye, cell growth, fertility and immune system | After learning about Protein and fat, we will now learn about vitamin-A |
Image: eye health
Image: cell growth Image: increases chances of pregnancy Image: immune system |
Vitamin-A helps to maintain healthy eyes ,
|
Image: strength and health of woman | Like Vitamin A, the entire Vitamin B-complex plays a crucial role in-
|
Image: Vitamin B-6 rich food sources collage | Among all the B-Vitamins, we will first look at Vitamin B-6- pyridoxine |
Image: nervous system
Image: brain development |
Vitamin B6- Pyridoxine is required
|
Image: pregnancy related nausea | Also, it may provide relief from pregnancy related nausea. |
Group image: anemic cells, NTD, infertility, miscarriage | Yet another nutrient is, Vitamin B12- |
Group Image: anemia
Image: Neural tube defects
|
Which along with folate & choline helps to prevent -
|
Image: Neural tube defects
Image: add arrows to indicate spine and central nervous system of baby while editing Image: first month of pregnancy |
Neural tube defects are birth defects that -
|
Image: neural tube
Image: brain and spine |
Note that, a neural tube is a part of the foetus that develops into the brain and spinal cord. |
Image: group image of three collage with rich sources of folate, vitamin B12 and choline rich food | Hence, it is important to have enough
|
Image: anemic cells
Image: infertility add cross mark while editing Image: miscarriage |
Deficiency of vitamin B-12 also leads to Anemia, infertility and miscarriage. |
Image: group image | Now, we will learn about another important nutrient - Folate |
Image: cell development
Image: arrows on cells and between lungs to other organs while editing |
Folate which is also known as Vitamin-B9,
These cells carry oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body. |
Image: anemia
Image: brain and spine |
Deficiency of folate in pregnant mothers leads to
|
Image: neural tube defects group image | Note that:
Neural Tube Defects has been explained earlier in the same tutorial. |
Image: Rbc
Image: fetal growth |
We will now learn about the role of Iron
|
Image: high blood pressure
Image: LBW baby Image: miscarriage |
Low levels of hemoglobin in pregnancy can lead to -
|

Apart from this,
Hemoglobin helps to transport oxygen to other tissues and cells Low levels of Hemoglobin or iron
|
Image: menstrual cramps
Image: worms infestation Image: collage of iron food sources Image: poor absorption Image: peanut with yellow layer |
Moreover, Iron may be low in women due to -
|
Image: collage of all cooking methods
Image: soaking Image: sprouting Image: roasting Image: fermentation |
In order to decrease, Phytic acid and Oxalates and to increase absorption of nutrients -
Use pre-cooking methods like -
|
Image: tiredness
Image: breathlessness GIF: Heart palpitation Image: Pale skin |
Signs of Iron deficiency Anemia are -

Remember, with Iron -
|
Group Image: bones and vitamin-d
Image: building healthy bones Gif: fetus requires calcium Image: development of bones Image: development of teeth |
Next, we will learn the importance of Calcium & Vitamin D
|
Image: strong and porous bone
Image: spine for absorption of calcium |
Low levels of Calcium can cause weak bones
However, remember that-
|
Image: vitamin D exposure
Image: clock Image: clock |
The best way to obtain Vitamin-D is -
|
Image: brain development | Next, we will learn about Choline. |
GIF: brain development
Image: memory and attention in the baby |
Choline is important for brain development of the baby
|
Image: fatty liver
Image: miscarriages Image: neural tube defects |
Deficiency of Choline leads to-
which is mentioned earlier in this tutorial |
Image: zinc | Let’s move ahead and learn the importance of Zinc, |
Image: improves immunity
Image: cell growth Image: building DNA and protein Image: healing of wounds Image: fertility Image: fetal development |
Zinc is important for immunity and cell growth -
|
Image: affect sense of taste
Image: sense of smell Image: placenta Image: placental cord |
Note that - lack of dietary Zinc can affect -
