Your child’s brain requires certain nutrients at the right stages of life to help them develop properly.
In our most recent post, we introduced you to six nutrients that are crucial to the growth and development of your child’s brain. Because the brain health of our kids is so crucial, this week, we’d like to continue exploring a few more.
We all know now that nutritious food builds strong bodies. But did you know that we need brain food too?
Unsurprisingly kids who are bored, restless, inattentive and sleepy or who have a bad memory are usually those who have poor eating habits. By choosing the right brain food, kids can help ensure better academic performance and concentration.
Our brains take up only 2% of our body weight yet consume nearly 20% of our body’s energy. Eating “brain food” improves kids’ moods, elevates learning and concentration, and sharpens memory and attention.
The Standard American Diet falls short. It is devoid of nutrients, yet filled with sugary & fatty neuro-toxins that do nothing positive for our bodies or brains.
As we did with the last blog, we will include some foods in which these nutrients can be found and what benefits they provide. Then we’ll offer up some power foods that contain several of the key nutrients your child’s brain needs.
I get that it can be hard to feed a child - especially if they happen to be picky or only want to eat certain foods or textures. Hopefully, this list of power foods is the exact tool you need!
Don’t procrastinate about feeling better…take action and invest in your brain.
