January 09Mother's Fish Intake May Boost Child's Brain Power Data from a cohort study of 341 mother-child pairs in Massachusetts (USA) collected between 1999-2002, found that 3-year olds whose mothers had a higher intake of lower mercury fish during pregnancy performed better in child cognitive tests (i.e. verbal, visual & motor development). Nutrition plays a major role in your child’s ability to concentrate, learn and achieve. Fast growing bodies need all the nutrition they can get. Even if your child already enjoys a good diet, they may still stand to benefit from improving their nutrient intake as many children are often lacking in some (or many) nutrients. These nutrients often include acetyl l-carnitine, fish oil, bacopa, folic acid and zinc. Each plays a crucial role in benefiting your child’s brain function. |
