Methods to For a Better Child Brain Development

By Michael Byrd

When and how to shape a child's brain development is crucial. Many propose computer programs. But experts have the opinion that it would be useless to do it once the child's brain development has actually stopped.

An excellent time to help with a child's brain development is even before the baby is born up until it reaches three years of age. This is the best time to have the most impact on the child's brain development and its ability to learn for the rest of their life.

It may appear unusual to begin even before a child is able to read, write or reason, but there are studies to back this and it has shown that all these skills begin to develop even before a child goes to kindergarten.

Recently there was a research study conducted that was published in Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology [Vol. 42: 174-181], where doctors used 56 babies as their subject, and they were as young as 5 days old. Their diets were filled with omega 3 fish oil fatty acids and DHA.

The group that was given DHA definitely had a higher cognitive and motor skills and was able to beat the other group (who were not able to get fish oil supplements) based on the "Mental Development Index."

This group of doctors has come to conclude that an early dietary supplement of fish oil with DHA plays a dynamic part in determining great improvement in performance and mental development in full term babies.

A study made on premature babies, which was published in the Clinics of Perinatology, [Vol. 22(1):157-75], claimed that premature babies also benefit from fish oil. They were given supplements of omega 3 fatty acids with DHA and showed great improvements in both cognitive and visual development.

These are just few of the several researches that can prove the secret to a child's brain development is acquiring enough amounts of omega 3 with DHA.

DHA happens to be the richest long-chain omega 3 in the brain tissue. It is said that 95% of all the lipids at birth consist of DHA and forms part of the brain tissues during the pregnancy and during the first year of life.

Women should eat more fish and get dietary supplements of fish oil during pregnancy. It is a good way to enhance a child's brain development and assures a child's intelligence and better ability to learn in the future.

Then, see to it that you breast-feed your child during the first year. Breast milk is said to contain rich amounts of omega 3's for your baby.

A result of research was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and it showed that a minimum amount of dietary fish oil with DHA helps to significantly elevate breast milk content. [Vol. 40, 780-785]

The study on brain development influenced my wife to use fish oil during her pregnancy and nursing and also supplement the diet of our children with salmon oil while they were just six months old.

It was not difficult to give them the supplements. We extracted it from the capsule, placed it in a spoon and made them drink it. We are proud to say how people have observed them to be so smart and they have nice test scores to prove it.

However, the best part is they are happy and healthy children too. Give your kids fish oil and you will be happy you did. - 17274
