The research results of Japanese nutritionists in recent years show that children's intellectual development depends on whether the nutrients they eat are balanced. Experts point out that there are eight kinds of nutrients that are essential for children's intellectual development:
(1) fat. Adequate fat can accelerate the development of brain function, and the fat of herbivorous livestock is most easily absorbed by children.
(2) The IQ of vitamin C patients is closely related to the content of vitamin C in blood. Adequate vitamin C can make children's brain function sharp, so it should be taken frequently in strawberries, Flammulina velutipes, oranges and tomatoes.
(3) calcium. Adequate calcium can keep the brain working, so seafood, fish and bone soup should be common table dishes for children.
(4) protein. Protein is the basic substance to ensure the brain to engage in complex intellectual activities, so foods rich in protein, such as eggs, fish, milk and bean products, are essential.
(5) Vitamin B. This substance can regulate the function of cranial nerves, nourish nerves and prevent mental disorders, so eat more peaches, cereals, sesame seeds, mushrooms and other foods.
(6) Vitamin A Vitamin A is a substance that promotes brain development, especially in animal liver and brain, carrots, fish eggs and cream.
(7) Vitamin E Foods rich in vitamin E include peanuts, wheat, green peas and vegetable oil, which can promote the proliferation of brain cells and maintain the vitality of brain cells.
(8) sugar. Sugar is the basic energy of brain cell activity. In principle, children should eat more starchy foods to obtain sugar, supplemented by sugary foods such as dates, longan and honey, and avoid excessive direct intake of sugar and sweets.
