A research report pointed out that before the age of three, the intelligence of a baby has reached 50% of a person's total intelligence, which shows the importance of this stage. Many parents want to have a smart baby and don't want their children to lose at the starting line. They compete to sign up for various remedial classes to cultivate their baby's emotional intelligence and improve their IQ, but the parents who suffer from their children enjoy it.
In fact, in order to tap children's potential and make them smarter and smarter, although educational resources are very important, the most important thing is that children have a good body and keep up with nutrition. It can be said that nutrition before the age of 3 is very important for children, and how parents supplement nutrition for their babies is the key.
Some parents feed well, and the baby's brain develops quickly, so it is naturally smarter than other children. But some parents only pay attention to their children's intelligence and don't care about their nutrition. The end result is that their children's physique is getting weaker and weaker, their attention is getting slower and slower, but their thinking is getting slower and slower.
First of all, insist on breastfeeding before the age of one.
Now the market of milk powder is getting bigger and bigger, on the one hand, because there is demand in the market, on the other hand, because advertising is well done. Many people think that the nutrients in milk powder are enough for babies. This product is used to liberate women. In fact, even if the technology is developed, the ingredients in milk powder are not as good as breast milk.
Insisting on breastfeeding can not only improve the baby's immunity, but also supplement a lot of trace elements, which can promote brain development. It can be said that milk powder on the market can't provide all the nutrition, and only breast milk is the perfect drink for children.
Secondly, we should add complementary food in time.
We don't advocate premature weaning, but we should refuse to continue breastfeeding. The most favorable plan for children's growth is to add complementary food to children in time. Babies grow fast, and nutrients in breast milk are lost quickly. After one year old, breast milk can't meet the needs of the baby's growth, so we should provide them with external support.
Pay attention to quality and quantity when adding complementary food in time. On the one hand, we should achieve a balanced nutrition and provide more vitamins and protein; On the other hand, we should do it properly, neither more nor less. At first, you can add some liquid foods such as millet porridge and vegetable juice to your baby. With the gradual enhancement of digestive function, you can supplement some crude fiber food or fish.
When we do the above two points, I believe our baby will be very healthy, but if we can pay attention to some dietary skills and choose some substances from the ingredients that can help the brain develop, then our baby will be very smart.
1, lecithin
Why should lecithin be supplemented? Because it is one of the most important components in neurotransmitters. Some people may not understand what neurotransmitters are. Simply put, it is a substance that transmits signals. Only when it exists in the nervous system can it function normally.
Regular supplementation of lecithin can improve the vitality of the brain, enhance people's memory, eliminate brain fatigue and help repair damaged brain cells. It is most suitable for infants and the elderly. One of the ingredients that must be added to milk powder is lecithin.
According to research, nuts such as peanuts are rich in lecithin. We can give our children more peanuts and walnuts. It seems that the old man said that walnuts are good for the brain. Besides nuts, fish heads are also rich in lecithin, which can be used to make fish head soup.
2、DHA
This is an unsaturated fatty acid and an essential element for the growth and development of brain cells. Therefore, people call it brain gold. This fatty acid is very important for the development of baby's brain and vision. Regular supplementation can improve your baby's memory, enhance your thinking ability and help protect your eyesight.
Our most common yolk is rich in DHA. Of course, deep-sea algae and deep-sea fish are also rich in DHA. In addition to buying DHA products in the market, we can also make more egg custard and seaweed soup for our baby, which is delicious and nutritious.
3. Zinc
We all know that zinc is a trace element, and its content is very small, but its function is very important, because it is an important part of enzymes in human body, and enzymes are the most common workers in our body. Because of the existence of enzymes, we can digest and absorb nutrients and think about problems.
Generally, we may know that zinc is closely related to the function of digestive system, but we ignore one thing-it is the source of intelligence. Only when zinc exists can the brain function better. It can be said that it is the lubricating oil for brain operation, and many foods can be supplemented with zinc, such as pig liver and lean meat.
