7 nutrients to improve your baby's intelligence

A healthy diet can improve brain development. While ensuring balanced nutrition from a variety of foods, parents should also provide their babies with some brain-enhancing foods to provide them with sufficient nutrients needed for brain development.

① Glucose

It is the source of brain energy and the basis of brain activity. Glucose can be absorbed from foods rich in carbohydrates, such as rice, noodles, and potatoes.

②Glutamate

It is an important nutrient for brain nerve activity, and it is mostly found in high concentrations in plant protein. It can be obtained from foods such as fish, tofu, tofu skin, sardines, bamboo fish, clams, and fish.

③Trace element boron

Scientists have found that when young babies' diets are depleted of boron, they tap their fingers more slowly and pick out letters less quickly than before. Foods containing boron include dried fruits, beans, leafy vegetables, apples, pears, and cedar grapes.

④Trace element iron

Oxygen supply is the most important nourishment for the brain. The more sufficient the oxygen supply, the easier it is to improve brain intelligence. The oxygen supply to brain cells is carried by red blood cells through the cerebral blood vessels. The component of red blood cells that carries oxygen is hemoglobin, and the main component of hemoglobin is iron. Therefore, people who suffer from anemia due to insufficient iron intake naturally lack nourishment to their brains, and poor intellectual response is expected. Foods rich in iron include dark green vegetables, animal liver, red lean meat and soybeans.

⑤ Trace element zinc

Scientists have found that healthy men and women who consumed slightly lower amounts of zinc performed worse on tests of memory and concentration. But when zinc levels were increased, their verbal memory improved by 712%, and their attention and memory for patterns improved by 17%. Foods containing zinc include seafood (such as oysters, fish), beans and turkey thighs.

⑥ Vitamins

It can enhance the brain's stress response ability and improve brain function acuity. Vegetables and fruits are high in vitamin C and are easy for babies to absorb.

⑦ B vitamins

B vitamins can improve brain power. Parents can include some foods with high vitamin B content in their daily diet, such as meat, fish, beans, and poultry eggs.
