Food, Nutrition & Wellness ©2010Chapter 12: Nutrition Throughout the Life CycleChapter SummariesThe Dietary Guidelines and MyPyramid offer nutrition advice throughout the life cycle. Healthful eating before and during pregnancy helps ensure that mother and baby get the nutrients they need. Infant feeding progresses from mother's milk or formula to various soft then chopped foods. Children need the same food variety from MyPyramid as adults, but in different amounts. Growing teens need more nutrient-dense foods, especially if they are active. Adult food needs depend on physical activity level, health, and lifestyle. Community programs can support good nutrition for people of all ages. Content and Academic VocabularyContent Vocabulary
