The babies drink breast milk will be more intelligent

Mental development affected by many factors, and its material is based on a sufficient number of, development and well-functioning brain cells. Is characterized by nerve cells have been differentiated cells can not be further proliferation. Gestational age 18 weeks after birth and 2 years of age is a critical time of brain development, while the most critical moment is the advanced stage of pregnancy to 3 months after birth, 6 months (primarily breastfeeding); infant brain development throughout childhood period of fastest Therefore, to ensure the nutritional supply of this period is very important, and this period of brain cells in the best interests of the baby food is breast development, its causes are the following aspects:

(1) proteins in breast milk are mainly whey protein, casein, etc., of which the whey protein content, and its biological utilization high, which would ensure rapid development of nerve cells in infants of protein required for the supply, but breast milk contains beneficial to the brain cell development, such as taurine and other substances.

(2) breast milk contains immunoglobulins, complement, lysozyme, lactoferrin, etc., which can enhance defense capabilities against the disease infants to avoid disease, physical and mental development of infants and, to guarantee the normal development of intelligence.

(3) breast milk contains large amounts of unsaturated essential fatty acids, arachidonic acid, carbonic acid, etc. Nianer long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids were higher than milk, and these are the important component of the central nervous system, brain development, nerve cord sheath formation has an important role. Retinal cells in the brain gray matter with the rich, like those of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are high concentrations of unsaturated fatty acids are beneficial to the intellectual, visual development. Cholesterol content of breast milk milk 3 to 4 times, and easy to absorb, while the cholesterol is necessary for the formation of myelin on the developing brain cells play an important role.

(4), lactose is the main component of carbohydrate in breast milk can guarantee the energy supply of brain cells, which can promote intestinal absorption of calcium, and breast milk calcium and phosphorus ratio appropriate, thereby reducing the incidence of rickets and its impact on intelligence .


(5), breast milk of copper, chromium and zinc than those of colostrum milk is rich in iron content of breast milk was not high, but the absorption and utilization of up to 50%, the fed infants than any other dairy products suffer from iron deficiency anemia less, thus avoiding the impact of iron deficiency on intelligence. Of zinc in the human body involved in amino acid, protein and nucleic acid metabolism and cell division, is the intellectual development necessary for the baby, breast milk, especially high levels of zinc in colostrum are generally able to meet the baby's needs.

(6) through breastfeeding, the mother of the infants could be enlightening education, promotion of infant mental development, but also between mother and child during breast-feeding skin contact, eye contact, caressing, and breast-feeding before and after the language and emotional exchanges are conducive to the development of infant perception.

Therefore, breast-feeding after birth (at least 6 months after birth) is conducive to brain cells in babies is conducive to intellectual development of infants.
