RAPID CITY, SD (PRWEB) April 22, 2008 – Bite Size Video releases Nutrition During Pregnancy, a nutrition education DVD for expectant mothers. Determined to make nutrition education fun and informative, host Kara Korhonen skillfully adds a side dish of humor to even the driest nutrition topic. Kara, mother of one and registered dietitian, guides the viewer through ten chapters of pregnancy topics ranging from appropriate weight gain to trimester-specific nutrient needs. A woman’s dietary behaviors before and during pregnancy have a significant impact on the outcome of her pregnancy. Poor maternal nutrition can result in low birth weight (LBW) infants and other neonatal complications. According to the most recent numbers from the Centers for Disease Control’s National Center for Health Statistics, over 8% of infants born in the US—approximately 320,000 annually—are LBW. These babies are more susceptible to serious health conditions, which include sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), difficulty in feeding and gaining weight, infection, and breathing problems. Further, LBW infant medical costs are dramatically higher than those for normal weight infants. Nutrition During Pregnancy is precisely formulated to prevent these adverse outcomes. The technical content of the video is derived from science-based recommendations of government agencies and professional dietetic organizations. However, because Nutrition During Pregnancy is meant to appeal to a broad audience, compelling graphics, self-effacing humor, and a toe-tapping soundtrack are used throughout the DVD to make the material comprehensible and entertaining. In fact, men and women with no intention of getting pregnant have expressed surprise at how much nutritional knowledge they gained while screening the video! This 90-minute DVD is available now for $19.95 at www.bitesizevideo.com and also from www.amazon.com. About Bite Size Video Kara Korhonen, MS, RD, LN, is the founder and owner of Bite Size Video, LLC. During her career as a professional nutrition counselor, she has worked with hundreds of expectant and post-delivery moms, addressing the nutritional concerns and dietary uncertainty women bring to her office. However, many pregnant women are unable to obtain the services of a registered dietitian. To address this critical need, Kara decided to create an affordable, accessible, and entertaining DVD with the purpose of encouraging healthier moms and babies. Kara earned her undergraduate degree in Food and Nutrition and her master’s degree in International and Community Nutrition.
