Summary

The "first 1000 days of life", from conception to 2 years of life, are crucial for promoting the health of both mother and baby. During this period, a woman's diet and lifestyle play a significant role in determining the future health of the child. The perinatal period is an ideal time for regular contact with healthcare providers who can institute an intervention to encourage pregnant women to make nutritional changes to improve their health and that of their babies.

Therefore, an educational program on an appropriate lifestyle during the "first 1000 days" can represent a crucial primary prevention strategy in reducing the risk of developing obesity and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) during childhood and later adulthood.
