Features of a diet for pregnant and breastfeeding women

Abstract

Of all the environmental factors that affect human health, nutrition plays a leading role. At the same time, we must not forget that the younger the child is, the more attention should be paid to nutritional issues. Scientific data of nutrigenomics indicates the effect of the nutrition factor at the gene level. A successfully developing new scientific direction – epigenomics – studies the influence of various environmental factors, and above all nutrition, on the expression of maternal and fetal genes.
