The state of the child's intelligence, as well as the cognitive functions of his brain, is largely determined in the early years of his life and depends on breastfeeding and the right diet.

According to the researchers, proper nutrition positively influences the expression of genes, as a result of which the child subsequently can best develop its potential inherent in it by nature. One of the most important elements in this process are fatty acids, in particular fats omega-3 and omega-6.

Breastfeeding For infants, breast milk is the main source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, as well as many other micro- and macro elements. The study, in which 5,934 children participated, demonstrated that those of them who received relatively little breastfeeding showed the lowest IQ.

These results suggest that the synthesis of fatty acids, as well as breastfeeding, plays an important role in future intelligence measures. Although we can not change our genes, we can certainly change their expression. All pregnant women should consume a sufficient number of foods containing omega-3 fat to help increase the level of IQ of their unborn baby.

Diet Both omega-3 and omega-6 are fatty acids. This means that they can not be synthesized by the body and must be consumed from food. Fatty fish is traditionally considered the main source of omega-3, although some plants, such as flax, also contain this nutrient in large quantities.

After these fatty acids that are consumed,.

various enzymes, vitamins and minerals (including zinc and vitamin C) are involved in the conversion of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids into other substances needed by our body. The study, which analyzed the intelligence of 11,000 children aged 8 and 11, found that the highest scores of verbal intelligence and fine motor skills were found in those who regularly consumed omega-3 and omega-6.
