People's IQ is not all born, and genetic factors only account for more than 40%. Most of them are acquired, mainly influenced by nutrition and early education.
It is worth noting that not all nutrition and early education for babies at any time can achieve the same effect on brain development. The graph of brain development shows that at 12 months, the baby's brain development increased by 175% compared with that at birth, and after 18 months, it only increased by 18% compared with that at 12 months. In other words, the baby's brain development speed at 0 ~ 12 months is much faster than that after 18 months. If we can seize this golden period of brain development, supplement adequate nutrition and give appropriate early education, we can get twice the result with half the effort.
Therefore, in the golden age, mothers should pay close attention to supplementing their babies with adequate brain nutrition, which will benefit their babies' brain and intelligence development for life.
Nutrition expert:
Adequate DHA supplementation in infancy, the intelligence development index is 7 points higher at 18 months, and the IQ is 7 points higher at 4 years old.
The article that Zheng's mother saw came from the research results published by American nutritionist Professor Bates in 2000. Four years later, Professor Bates conducted his follow-up study and recently published the results of the follow-up study.
The results of the follow-up study are gratifying. He found that the infants who participated in the study before, that is, the infants in the first four months after birth, were supplemented with DHA of17 mg100 kcal and ARA of 34mg/ 100 kcal respectively. At the age of 4, their IQ is 7 points higher than that of those who don't.
That is to say, infants who were supplemented with DHA at the scientifically verified level in infancy not only had a 7-point higher intellectual development index than the control group at 18 months, but also had a 7-point higher IQ at the age of 4. According to the IQ of 4 years old and 17 years old is highly correlated, that is, children with high IQ at 4 years old are likely to maintain high IQ at 17 years old, and these children are also very optimistic about their future development.
What is this concept? Children's intelligence is constantly developing. In infancy and infancy, the intellectual development index and IQ can be 7 points higher, which means that children will accelerate from a higher starting point. As we all know, who goes first when the train enters the tunnel? The locomotive, of course; Who will go first? Or a locomotive. Because the train can't turn around in the tunnel Children's intellectual development is such a "tunnel phenomenon".
Therefore, we can say that the advantage of supplementing sufficient DHA in infancy is long-term and continuous, and this advantage will last from infancy to the growth of children.
Early education experts:
Window period+golden period, create a better future for your baby.
Similar to the concept of the golden period of brain development, early education research also has a "window period". There are different window periods for the brain development of infants aged 0-6, such as: the visual window period is from birth to 1.5 years old; 0-4 years old is the window period of mathematical logic ability and so on.
If parents can provide targeted early education for their baby in the window period, provide adequate nutrition in coordination with the golden period of brain development, promote the development of axons and dendrites of brain cells from early education stimulation and nutrition, and lay a solid foundation for the child's brain development, it will be more conducive to his future development of various abilities and have a better future.
