Promote baby's brain food

The development of the baby's brain is believed to be the concern of many parents. Which foods are beneficial to the baby's brain development? Let's take a look.

First, lipids are the first important nutrient for your baby's brain development. Because about 60% of the human brain is composed of lipids, it is an essential nutrient for the formation of brain cells and brain nerve fibers.

Lipids are unsaturated fatty acids, including lecithin, cholesterol, glycolipids, and neuro-phospholipids, among which the lecithin content is the highest and the demand is greatest. Lipids can maintain the normal physiological activities of nerve cells and participate in mental activities such as brain thinking and memory, and play an extremely important role in the development of brain cells and nerves.

Recommended food* Various nuts and fruits such as walnuts, sesame, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, watermelon seeds, almonds, peanuts, mango, day lily.

* Higher levels of fish, especially oysters, conch, squid, octopus, and shrimp.

* Various types of meat such as beef, pork, lamb, chicken, duck, quail, and hare.

Second, protein accounts for about 35% of human brain cells, second only to lipids. Proteins consist of a variety of amino acids. Tryptophan and tyrosine are important aids to the brain's thinking activity. Glutamate is an important nutrient for enhancing human brain memory. Taurine, in particular, increases the total number of brain nerve cells and promotes the formation of neural cell networks. Making the brain function more healthy, it is very beneficial to the development, proliferation and maturation of the brain cells of the fetus and infants, and plays an important role in the brain development of infants.

* The ratio of amino acids contained in various animal brains, especially porcine brain, bovine brain, and sheep brain, is very close to that of human brain cells and is an excellent food for brain development.

* Soybean and soy products such as tofu, soymilk, soymilk, bean curd and soybean oil contain high-quality vegetable protein and abundant unsaturated fatty acids and phospholipids, which are very beneficial to brain development.

* The protein content of various fish and shrimp, especially non-breeding fish, is higher.

Third, carbohydrates are also called carbohydrates. Although it is not a component of brain cells, it is the only source of energy for brain cells. Brain cell activity requires the consumption of a large amount of glucose, which accounts for almost two-thirds of the human body's blood glucose. However, brain tissue itself cannot store glucose, and it can only use the glucose provided by the blood to generate energy. If the intake of carbohydrates in the diet is insufficient, brain cell activity will be greatly affected, which will hinder brain development.

Recommended food* Various grain cereals, such as millet, corn, black rice, fragrant rice, rice, pasta.

* dates, longan, honey and potatoes.

* Vitamin C brain food: strawberry, orange, apple, pear, red fruit, hawthorn, red dates and spinach, asparagus, cauliflower, cabbage, cauliflower, pineapple, coriander, green tea and so on.

* Brain food rich in vitamin D: mainly fish, especially cod liver oil.

* Vitamin E brain food: apples, carrots, cabbage, celery, lettuce, green peas, eggs, olive oil, oats, soybeans, peanuts, sesame, beef, chicken, pork and so on.

* Foods with more B vitamins: brown rice, corn, peanuts, adzuki beans, beans and walnuts, sesame, lily dishes, stew meat, squid, vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, etc.

4.Calcium is a very important nutrient in the growth and development of babies. It not only plays an important role in bone growth, firmness of teeth, and cardiac regulation, but also has a great influence on the communication of brain and nerve cells. Calcium is a "stabilizer" of brain tissue, and it can effectively inhibit the abnormal excitation of brain nerve cells and keep them in a normal state. When the baby's brain is deficient in calcium, it often results in poor concentration, poor memory, and fatigue.

Recommended foods* Almonds, broccoli, day lily, leeks, olives, lentils, seaweed, and other seagrasses.

*Milk, milk powder, cheese, lactic acid bacteria, sardines, oysters, shrimp, sesame, etc.
