Preconception care is the process of preparing for pregnancy before conception. This includes steps such as maintaining a healthy lifestyle, managing chronic conditions, taking prenatal vitamins, and discussing family history and reproductive health with a doctor. Preconception care can help increase the chances of a healthy pregnancy and can also detect and treat any potential fertility or pregnancy-related issues before conception occurs.

Nutrition is an essential aspect of a healthy pregnancy. Expectant mothers require a balanced diet that provides sufficient amounts of essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals to support both their own health and the growth and development of their baby. This means increasing their intake of foods rich in iron, calcium, and folic acid, as well as foods that are sources of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Some key nutrients for pregnant women include iron for the growth of the placenta and fetus, calcium for the development of strong bones and teeth, and folic acid to reduce the risk of birth defects.

Breast milk is the perfect food for babies, as it supplies all the necessary nutrients in the proper proportions. Breastfeeding also has many health benefits for both moms and babies. For babies, breastfeeding helps to boost the immune system, reduce the risk of certain diseases and illnesses, and promote healthy brain development. While for moms, breastfeeding can help reduce the risk of certain cancers, promote postpartum recovery and provide an emotional bond between mother and baby.

Our research projects are centered around essential scientific matters during infancy: nutrition in the initial 1,000 days of life, maternal health during gestation, breastfeeding and advantages of breast milk.

In the first 1,000 days, a baby’s growth and development is happening at a rapid rate and the progress made during this period surpasses any other time in existence. Right from conception to the toddler’s second birthday, their cells will have grown from a single cell to more than three trillion cells. Adequate nutrition during this exceptional phase is an essential requirement for survival, growth, ideal development and long-term health.

At BIOPHARMA EGYPT S.A.E , we strive to comprehend how nutrition affects the growth and development of newborns from before conception, during pregnancy and after birth, in both preterm and term infants.

Quality nutrition is extremely important for toddlers, as it affects physical and mental development, helps to prevent and overcome illness and aids in myelination. Adequate intake of both macronutrients (carbohydrate, protein, and fat) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) is essential during these years. A balanced diet made up of regular meals and snacks is necessary to provide vitamins, minerals, fibers, and nutrients. Fostering good eating habits and providing healthy, nutrient-dense food choices is one of the most important tasks for parents in raising young children.

Nutrition is important for children aged 4 to 6 as it helps them grow and develop. Children of this age should be getting a variety of foods from the five food groups, including fruits, vegetables, dairy, grains, and protein. It is important to choose nutrient-dense foods such as lean meats, whole grains, low-fat dairy, fruits and vegetables. Additionally, children should be drinking plenty of water and limiting their consumption of sugary and processed foods.

At this age, children should be getting 1,000 to 1,400 calories a day, depending on their activity level. They should be consuming 3 to 5 ounces of protein a day, 1 to 1.5 cups of fruits, 1 to 1.5 cups of vegetables, 3 to 5 ounces of grains, and 2 to 2.5 cups of dairy. It is important to limit added sugar and saturated fats as well as salt.
