The development of the brain needs many kinds of nutrition, among which protein's nutrition is the most important. If we can supplement enough nutrients in infancy and provide necessary substances for the increase and functional differentiation of brain cells, it will play a vital role in the baby's brain development and intellectual development.
Food for promoting fetal brain development;
Eggs:
Eggs are one of the most important sources of nutrition for pregnant women, which is very helpful to the development of fetal brain. Eggs mainly contain 8 essential amino acids, rich in lecithin, calcium, phosphorus and iron. Eating eggs for pregnant women is beneficial to the baby's brain development. Mothers can choose a variety of methods to make eggs and combine them with other dishes, such as eggs and vegetable puree, to avoid boring themselves with a mode of burning eggs. It should be noted that eggs are not easy to digest, so don't eat too much at a time, and the yield should be no problem.
Bananas:
It can help the brain to make a chemical component serotonin, which can stimulate the nervous system and is of great benefit to promoting the function of the brain. Eat more fresh fruits, bananas are rich in nutrition, but pay attention to the consumption, and don't affect the appetite for dinner because of excessive consumption.
Apple:
Apples are rich in zinc, which can enhance memory and promote active thinking. Apple is a kind of fruit with comprehensive nutrition and functions. Expectant mothers can choose different ways to eat, such as apple porridge or apple salad.
Onions:
It contains an ingredient called "prostaglandin A", which can relax small blood vessels, promote blood circulation and make people's minds more flexible if eaten regularly.
Walnut:
Eating more walnuts in pregnant women is helpful to the development of fetal brain. The main component of fat in walnut is linoleic acid glyceride, which can supply the needs of brain matrix. The trace elements zinc and manganese contained in walnut are important components of pituitary gland and can strengthen the brain. Eat more nuts, but don't eat them until they are ground or made into sauce. You can't eat too much at a time. If you also think that six walnuts are not good to drink or don't believe in their nutritional value, you can add some walnuts when drinking soybean milk, which is more nutritious and can help the fetal brain develop.
Peanuts:
The content of protein is as high as 30%. Its nutrition is comparable to that of eggs, milk and lean meat, and it is easily absorbed by human body. You can stew it with soybeans, or put it in porridge or lotus seed rice, but you can't fry it.
Melon seeds:
Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and watermelon seeds are rich in unsaturated fatty acids. Stir-fry or boil it before eating.
Pine nuts:
It is famous for its rich vitamins (A, E) and essential fatty acids. Eat raw or make it delicious.
Three principles of supplementary nutrition during pregnancy:
Comprehensive principle: The human brain is mainly composed of lipids, protein, carbohydrates, vitamins (B, C, E) and calcium. Nutrition intake must be comprehensive. Nutritionists suggest that it is best to eat 40 kinds of food every day, at least 14 kinds.
Balance principle: Studies have confirmed that when the fat intake accounts for 30% of the total thermal energy of human body, protein accounts for 65,438+05%, and carbohydrate accounts for about 55%, the human body will reach a good balance state. As far as fat is concerned, saturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids are best balanced, that is, the ratio of 1: 1: 1. The optimum ratio of calcium and phosphorus is 2∶ 1. But it is difficult to operate so carefully in life. As long as you eat widely, don't be partial to food, and don't be picky about food, it's almost the same.
Natural principle: choose the food that has made outstanding contribution to fetal intelligence from the natural food in home cooking as the main body of the three-meal structure.
