Food and Brain Connection in Childhood

Author: Angelica Marquass What is the difference between the learning and behavior of kids who eat junk food or high GL food with abandon and those who are following a potentially well-balanced diet? If there is a difference between these children, then why is there a difference? What should you as a parent be feeding your child? One of the most limiting concepts of modern science is the idea that our mind and body are separate entities. Unfortunately, it's not just scientists who live by this false notion. We all, in a manner, subscribe to this myth. ? For instance, when you observe your child facing trouble in concentrating on his/her studies, behaving badly or struggling to read, does the thought ever cross your mind that he might be poorly nourished? ? ? If it does not, it is time to wake up. All these characteristics and behavior traits are governed by a network of complex, interconnecting brain cells, shaped by none other than what your child eats on a daily basis. F

Is it Possible to Increase Child

Author: Angelica Marquass The nutrition your child receives from infancy through his or her formative years is essential not only to building a strong body, but also to achieving optimal mental and intellectual ability as well as emotional health. This is why the way you feed your child is generally considered an important part of good parenting. Recent advances in nutritional neuroscience show that particular nutrients have certain affects on the development of the human brain, which influence intelligence, mood, and behavior. The brain of a human fetus grows rapidly from the 10th to 18th week of pregnancy. During this time the fetus develops thousands of brain cells, called neurons, every minute. Moreover, these neurons begin to develop into a system of interlocking connections, forming essentially a network of specialized nerve cells that can have long-term effects on the child? s development. Therefore, it is important for the mother to eat nutritious foods during thi

Vitamins and Minerals: the Building Blocks of your Child

Author: Angelica Marquass Your child's brain is like an elaborate stage production that needs hundreds of people working behind the curtain to provide the supporting framework for the main actors. The difference is that the brain utilizes vitamins and minerals as its supporting cast instead of lighting technicians and prop masters. Vitamins and minerals are the architects of the brain, creating and re-creating the brain and nervous system. They grease the wheels of brain function by performing the basic work of transformation in the brain, making neurotransmitters from amino acids, energy from glucose, complex fats (GLA or DHA) from simple fats, and phospholipids from choline and serine. In the early 1980s, Gwillym Roberts, a teacher and nutritional therapist from the Institute for Optimum Nutrition, and Professor David Benton, a psychologist from Swansea University, developed a study to chart the effect of vitamins and minerals on the intelligence levels of schoolchildr
