Food and Your Life Stages
The nutritional needs of the human body change at different life stages. To be fit and healthy, it is important to take into account the extra demands placed on your body by these changes. To meet your body's regular nutritional needs, you should consume:
? A wide variety of nutritious foods;
? Daily supplies of water;
? Enough kilojoules (千焦耳) for energy, with carbohydrates as the preferred source;
? Adequate protein for cell maintenance and repair;
? Fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins;
? Essential minerals, such as iron, calcium and zinc;
? Foods containing plant-derived photo-chemicals, which may protect against heart disease, diabetes, some cancers, arthritis (关节炎) and osteoporosis.
A varied diet that concentrates on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes (豆类), dairy foods and lean meats can fulfill these basic requirements.
Babies from Birth to Six Months of Age
Infants usually increase their length by 50 percent and their weight by 300 percent between birth and one year of age. Breast milk generally supplies a baby with the required amounts of nutrients, fluids and energy up to six months of age. Where possible, breast milk is preferred to formula, as it contains many protective and immunological factors that benefit the baby's development.
Breast milk or correctly prepared infant formula provides enough water for a healthy infant to replace any water losses. However, all infants need extra water when solid foods are introduced.
Babies Six to 12 Months
Solids should be introduced around six months of age. As a baby is gradually weaned (断奶) from the breast or bottle and new solids are introduced, there may be reduced body stores of iron and vitamins C and D. To maintain nutrient body stores:
? Give your baby foods that are rich in iron, for example, iron-enriched infant cereals. Iron-enriched rice-based cereals are frequently recommended as the first food to be introduced, as there is the additional benefit of having a lower risk of an allergic reaction. Wheat cereals are not recommended as the first food due to their allergy risk.
? Fruits and vegetables should be introduced after the cereals. They are important for vitamin and mineral content and to introduce new textures, tastes and colors.
? Meat, poultry and fish are generally introduced last.
? Don't add salt or sugar to your baby's food.
? Occasional exposure of the skin to sunlight is usually enough to provide a baby's vitamin D requirements.
Young Children
During childhood, children tend to vary their food intake (spontaneously) to coincide with their growth patterns. Children's food needs vary widely, depending on their growth and their level of physical activity. Like energy needs, a child's total protein, vitamin and mineral requirements increase with age. Ideally, children should be accumulating stores of nutrients in preparation for the rapid growth spurt experienced during adolescence.
Food-related problems for young children include becoming overweight, obesity, tooth decay and food sensitivities. Recommendations include:
? If a child is putting on too much body fat, limit energy-dense, nutrient-poor snack foods. Increasing physical activity will also help. You could also restrict the amount of television watching.
? Tooth decay can be prevented with regular brushing and visits to the dentist. Avoid sugary foods, especially if sticky or acidic.
? Ensure your child has enough fluids, especially milk and water.

Eight Tips for Eating Well
A healthy balanced diet contains a variety of typos of food, including lots of fruit, vegetables and starchy (淀粉类) foods such as wholemeal bread and wholegrain cereals; some protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, eggs and lentils; and some dairy foods.
1. Base your meals on starchy foods
Starchy foods such as bread, cereals, rice, pasta and potatoes are a really important part of a healthy diet. Try to choose wholegrain varieties of starchy foods whenever you can.
Starchy foods should make up about a third of the food we eat. They are a good source of energy and the main source of a range of nutrients in our diet. As well as starch, these foods contain fiber, calcium, iron and B vitamins.
Most of us should eat more starchy foods —try to include at least one starchy food with each of your main meals. So you could start the day with a wholegrain breakfast cereal, have a sandwich for lunch, and potatoes, pasta or rice with your evening meal.
Wholegrain foods contain more fiber and other nutrients than white or refined starchy foods. We also digest wholegrain foods more slowly so they can help make us feel full for longer.
2. Eat lots of fruit and vegetable
Most people know we should be eating more fruit and vegetable. But most of us still aren't eating enough.
Try to eat at least 5 portions of a variety of fruit and vegetable every day. It might be easier than you think. Try adding up your portions during the meals throughout the day. You can choose from fresh, frozen, tinned, dried or juiced, but remember potatoes count as a starchy food, not as portions of fruit and vegetable.
3. Eat more fish
Most of us should be eating more fish —including a portion of oily fish each week. It's an excellent source of protein and contains many vitamins and minerals.
Aim for at least two portions of fish a week, including a portion of oily fish. You can choose from fresh, frozen or canned —but remember that canned and smoked fish can be high in salt.
What are oily fish?
Some fish are called oily fish because they are rich in certain types of fats, called omega 3 fatty acids, which can help keep our hearts healthy.
How much oily fish?
Although most of us should be eating more oily fish, women who might have a baby one day should have a maximum of 2 portions of oily fish a week (a portion is about 140g). And 4 is the recommended maximum number of portions for other adults.
Anyone who regularly eats a lot of fish should try and choose as wide a variety as possible.
4. Cut down on saturated (饱和的) fat and sugar
Fats
To stay healthy we need some fat in our diets. What is important is the kind of fat we are eating. There are two main types of fat:
- saturated fat —having too much can increase the amount of cholesterol (胆固醇) in the blood, which increases the chance of developing heart disease
- unsaturated fat—having unsaturated fat instead of saturated fat lowers blood cholesterol
Try to cut down on food that is high in saturated fat and have foods that are rich in unsaturated fat instead, such as vegetable oils, oily fish, avocados, nuts and seeds.
Foods high in saturated fat are: meat pies, sausages, meat with visible white fat, hard cheese, butter and lard, pastry, cakes and biscuits, cream, soured cream and creme fraiche, coconut oil, coconut cream or palm oil.
For a healthy choice, use just a small amount of vegetable oil or a reduced-fat spread instead of butter, lard or ghee. And when you are having meat, try to choose lean cuts and cut off any visible fat.
Sugar
Most people are eating too much sugar. We should all be
