The amount of salt need in the body of an adults below 7 grams per day, while it is below 4 grams per day for children. Parents in daily life should give children less salty food to eat, such as pickles, mustard, bacon and so on.
2.Food containing MSG and more food.
Medical research shows that if pregnant women in the late pregnancy often eat monosodium glutamate will cause fetal zinc deficiency, children within the age of eating MSG too have the possibility of causing brain cell necrosis. World Health Organization: adult daily intake of MSG should not exceed 4 grams for pregnant women and children within the age of consuming monosodium glutamate.

So as  fetus, infants and young child, pay special attention to nutritional supplements, so that the brain in it golden stage get adequate nutrition.

Brain development stage:


  • 0 to 2 years old: brain weight rapid growth, new born baby brain weigh 25% of adults.
  • 2 to 4 years old: brain weight reached 80% of adults
  • 4 to 7 years old: brain weight reached 90% of adults

From the above stages of development can be seen, 0-7 years of age is very important to the baby's intellectual development, in addition to the necessary intellectual training and stimulation, the more important is to provide the baby with the necessary brain nutrients. As the brain development is irreversible, so parents from the beginning of pregnancy, should pay attention to the baby brain nutrition supply carefully.

3. Oil (foods containing unsaturated fatty acids) - 60% of the fetal brain fat structure, and unsaturated fatty acids, is to help the fetal brain cell membrane development and the formation of brain cells, brain nerve fiber and retina.
4. Lecithin - phospholipids and the formation of cell membrane and containing choline, is to help the body to create brain nerve conduction material (acetylcholine) important ingredients.
5. Vitamin B group (especially folic acid and vitamin B12) - Vitamin B group can help the brain with the use of carbohydrates, and it help smooth metabolism of calories and maintain the integrity of myelin.
6. Vitamin C - Vitamin C is to promote the synthesis of nerve conduction material, and in the small intestine to help the absorption of iron indispensable role, it can help the normal functioning of the brain, so that the brain cells are more solid, if not Nerve fatigue, and thus affect the development of intelligence.
7. Vitamin E - vitamin E has anti-aging function, it can prevent the formation of oxidative lipid in the blood, so that the blood vessels often keep blood flow, allowing your minds to be flexible and sober.
