Failure to adapt nutrition to our current specific life stage will generate severe health consequences. The nutritional demands differ across stages of life thus inadequate nutrition intake leads to health issues such as nutrient deficiencies weakened immunity and long-term diseases.

The growth and maturation process demands proper nourishment as young people go through their youth. People with low calcium and vitamin D levels develop weak bones which creates a higher possibility of developing osteoporosis during their older years. Adults who eat high amounts of processed foods containing excessive sugar combined with bad fats are at risk of developing obesity alongside diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Nutrition stands as an essential factor for people who are pregnant. I know from being pregnant right now that proper amounts of folic acid, iron, and protein in my diet help the development of my baby during pregnancy. Neural tube defects and anemia will develop as complications when expecting mothers do not receive essential nutrients.

The natural aging process brings a reduced metabolic rate together with shrinking muscle mass thus making older adults require protein-rich and calorie-reduced diets. A failure to change nutritional habits will significantly increase the risks of becoming undernourished alongside physical weakness and diminished cognitive abilities. A successful transition through life requires proper nutritional adjustments for people to achieve long-term wellness.

As we change our body's change and go through different kinds of changes weather its pregnancy or changes in a human body so which comes to then nutritional needs will need to change as well. just like in the reading where the mother had to change her nutritional diet because of her expecting a baby. She not only had to meet the nutritional needs of herself but also had to meet the nutritional needs of her unborn child which means she had to change the way she ate because she was pregnant and wants a healthy baby. I know myself from experience had to also change my nutritional needs from when I was a child to becoming an adult because we don't need as much calories or nutrients when were young as we do an adult plus our taste buds also change I know it did for me certain foods I liked when I was young I find don't appeal to me as much anymore, while foods that I didn't like when I was younger I do like or don't mind eating them now. Has anyone else experienced or noticed that?
