Methods to For a Better Child Brain Development

By Michael Byrd

When and how to get better brain development for your child is essential; many suggest the use of computer programs. Experts however believe that it should be done with timing. It is indeed useless if the child's brain development has actually closed.

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 be strange to begin earlier than they're able to read, write or reason, but studies have shown that these skills are slowly developed even before a child reaches 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 set of babies that were given DHA showed significantly higher cognitive and motor skills, as compared to the other set of babies (those without fish oil supplements) based on the "Mental Development Index."

The doctors then made a conclusion that a dietary supply of fish oil with DHA at an early age is a major factor in determining improved performance and mental development among full term babies.

Rresearch on premature babies, that was published in the Clinics of Perinatology, . [Vol. 22(1):157-75], established that babies who are not born full term also benefit from fish oil. Those given omega 3 fatty acids with DHA as supplements definitely had improvement in their 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.

After that, be sure that you breast-feed during the first year. High amounts of omega 3's can be found in breast milk.

Research that was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition illustrated that even moderate amounts of dietary fish oil with DHA will radically 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.

But the best part is they are happy and healthy children too. Try fish oil on your kids and you will be thankful you did. - 17269
