Growth rate of growth of the brain affected by food intake. One of them is the amino acid. Substances of these proteins are very useful information processing in the brain.
At the age of 12 years, child nutrition should really be noted and controlled. As can be seen at the time of the child to compare the growth and activity very quickly, when I was a child. Increased nutritional needs. Especially in childhood, are particularly vulnerable to eating disorders such as lack of protein, iron, vitamin A, iodine and infectious diseases. Studies have also shown associated with malnutrition during the growth of children with various diseases that occur when adults, such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and cancer.
To meet food to feed more frequently. If you usually only three times (morning, afternoon and evening), main dish, this time on food-plus-two break. But remember that food should be varied. Since nutritional requirements can be met not only with one type of food.
Is a protein of the brain, the food is very important. Proteins various chemical processes in the body are asamasam in amino acids and essential amino acids (triftofan a certain type and for each tyrosine) are converted into neurotransmitters.
Told the child neurologist from Ciptomangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM), Dr Widodo Dwi Putro SpA (K), essential amino acids as important components in the whole body, especially the neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that the brain processes information, and they make optimal use of absorbed into the cells of the brain to help.
“Amino acids for brain growth and development of infants and toddlers should be optimized, especially during flowering, ie, 1-3 years, where rapid growth in various aspects of brain development,” he said.
Dwi said, even if the newborn whole brain grows 25 percent of the average brain weight, which has grown and developed rapidly, they have won more than 80 percent under the age of 3 years, millions and billions of cells together, the net production of another.
“The most important source of protein: meat, fish, eggs, milk and processed products such as cheese,” he said at the XIV National Congress of Science and Unity Gathering feeding (PERSAGI) of the Frisian Flag Indonesia Gramedia Expo, Surabaya.
Of the saturated fatty acids may affect the brain in the statement of work, that fish fat-free meat, poultry, milk, which enriched in unsaturated fatty acids, the best option for exploration.
The brain is the organ that it handled well, because in reality, the brain has a very high rate, 15-40 times faster than the speed of muscle work. In fact, the brain is necessary to receive fuel deliveries with special nutrients. The quality of the brain, as the quality of life. Good and optimal brain, the quality of life is optimal.
Diet plays an important role in improving IQ. The number of vitamins and minerals needed to maintain optimum power of thought. In addition, the body needs carbohydrates, proteins and essential fatty acids, so that the brain is working well. Foods provide nutrients to the brain is very important to improve concentration and learning ability.
Eating the right foods will increase the brain and mental condition, “said a doctor who practiced in a hospital. Expert Nutrisionist Frisian Flag Indonesia, Yeni Novianti SGZ, indicating that the minerals and vitamins, the role of individual intelligence.
Studies show that lack of minerals and vitamins for the brain, primarily from the reduction of mental activity in the brain. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables, wheat, combined with meat and fish on the important minerals and vitamins for the physical and mental health can be delivered.
“It is highly recommended for parents of a balanced diet for children, who come mainly from the consumption of vegetables and fruits like said:” He is in the same event.
Nine minerals is key to mental strength iron, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, sodium, potassium, calcium, zinc and boron This material provides a smooth flow of messages to the brain during the nervous system and brain. Willingness and increased alertness, better understand and strengthen memory.
Seven vitamins are very important for the brain: Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, biotin, vitamin C, plus vitamins, it is very important to get help, neurotransmitters. The importance of nutrition education fair held public, especially parents of children in infancy.
The same support human Resorces and Director of Corporate Relations, Frisian Flag Indonesia, Hendro H Poedjono, who said he even brought his face to express his concern about the nutritional problems of the society in Indonesia.
“The problems of nutrition for the people of Indonesia, not only because of the limited financial capacity to meet basic nutritional needs, and the lack of knowledge of nutrition in the community, especially parents,” he said.
With increasing knowledge of nutrition, especially parents, to materialize the family and healthy children through good nutrition to benefit from the diversity of available food resources around us economically.
One of the financial support of the Frisian Flag Indonesia in the period between the XIV and supports the National Science Congress PERSAGI theme that has been our commitment to improving nutrition.
