Mum Can Prevent Obesity and Diabetes

Pre-conception, pre-natal and post-natal nutrition can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and allergy in later life, according to a report released yesterday.

The ‘Early Life Nutrition Report’ was developed by researchers from Australian and New Zealand Universities including Professor John Funder of Prince Henry’s Institute, Professor Peter Davies of Queensland Children’s Medical Research Institute and Associate Professor Clare Wall of the University of Auckland, with Danone Nutricia providing funding.

The report gives an overview of early life nutrition research findings and evidence based recommendations. These include reducing excess weight and maintaining recommended dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids during pregnancy.
