Does malnutrition will made children slowness?

Every parent and hope that their children be able to clever, lively, good not only physical growth, and high IQs. But, you know, the child’s physical and mental development and fetal and infant nutritional status are closely related.

We are talking about nutrition, that is, the three major nutrients (protein, fat, carbohydrates) and minerals, water and a variety of vitamins, are indispensable. However, the main source of heat or by the three major nutrients to provide, if the energy shortage of supply, fetal and infant malnutrition occurs, the impact of children’s physical and brain development.

Brain are the material basis of mental retardation and brain There are two main cells, namely, collagen nerve cells and nerve cells, brain cell division has two peaks, the first peak period of the fetus at 10 weeks ~ 20 weeks; second peak are at 3 months after birth, after which the growth of brain cells gradually slowed down and can continue until the age of one and a half years, then life will no longer increase after brain weight was mainly due to increased cell division nerve myelin. Brain development, mainly in the earliest infancy, when the baby was born about 350 grams of brain weight, and by the end of infant up to about 1000 grams, by volume, 1-year-old infant brain has reached 60 percent of adults, when the 2-year-old was 75%, around 8 years old ~ 9-year-old could reach more than 90% of adults.

The study found that malnutrition directly affects brain development. Fetal malnutrition has not timely treatment of Health after the death of the children, brain cells can be reduced 60 percent; and normal birth weight after birth have died of malnutrition in children, brain cells can be reduced by 20% ~ 40%; Health after 2 years died of malnutrition in children of normal number of brain cells. This shows that period and nutrition on fetal brain development during infancy is very important; at a critical period of brain cells, brain tissue structure, biochemical and physiological features are the rapid development of sophisticated, non-performing to stimulate the outside world is very sensitive. Brain cell proliferation is a one-time sophisticated, if miss this chance, then no longer be able to receive compensation. If it happened at this period of malnutrition, inadequate supply of calories, protein intake will not interfere with the synthesis of proliferating cell division, a direct impact on the number of cells; go except the future even if the cause, it will be difficult to restore, which may result in permanent brain dysfunction. If the malnutrition occurred in the brain beyond the period of cell proliferation, can cause brain cells become smaller in size and brain weight of a temporary slow down, but no reduction in the number of brain cells, once an adequate supply of nutrition, brain development can achieve normal levels, can be fully restored.
