Consider food and nutrients the fuel for your child’s brain. Nutrients are required to build brain and nerve cells, enhance cognitive development and memory function. For example, omega 3 is one of the most important nutrients for brain health. But there are 2 things for parents to take note: 1. if you are breastfeeding your new-born baby, make sure that your breastmilk contains enough arachidonic acid, which is essential for brain development. It can be found out by doing DNA test. 2. Other than omega 3, we can provide vitamin b complex for normal nerve cells development. However, every individual is not the same. What we eat much depending on our gene. Of course we can give general brain food but to be more accurate, we can know from our gene which nutrient do we really need. According to my genetic consultation, lots of kids have a higher need in omega 3 to enhance their cognitive learning, memory ability as well as reducing their risk of getting cardiovascular diseases in older
