Many people think that if you want to have a good baby, it is most important to make up your body during pregnancy. However, expectant mothers do not ignore the nutritional supplements before pregnancy. Congenital constitutions have often been determined from the moment they become fertilized eggs. Therefore, do not ignore the intake of the following three major nutrients before pregnancy.
Key words before pregnancy: Folic acid
Folic acid is a B vitamin that plays an important role in cell division, growth, and synthesis of nucleic acids, amino acids, and proteins. Therefore, folic acid is an essential nutrient for fetal growth and development. If you do not pay attention to pre-pregnancy and folic acid supplementation, it will affect the development of the fetal brain and neural tube, may cause neural tube malformation, severe cases can cause spina bifida or anencephaly.
Preconception Keywords II: Iodine
Pre-pregnancy iodine supplementation has a more significant effect on the development of the next generation of brain than iodine supplementation during pregnancy. Iodine is an intellectual nutrient, an indispensable raw material for synthetic thyroxine. Thyroxine is involved in the proliferation and differentiation of brain cells during brain development and is a determinant nutrient.
Brain science research believes that people's intellectual activity and psychological behavioral ability are closely related to the level of nerve cell dendrites, dendritic spines, and process triggering. The children born to iodine supplemented pregnant women had higher weight, height and IQ than children born without iodine supplementation.
Preconception Keywords Three: Zinc
Zinc is a component of more than 100 enzymes or activators of the human body and plays an important role in the development of the fetus, especially the fetal brain. Once the body is deficient in zinc, many enzymes can not play its role, can easily lead to life metabolism.
At the same time, zinc plays a major role in promoting mental development. The number of neurons in the brain from the 10-18 weeks of the embryo to 8 months of fetal development, the proliferation of nerve cells is almost complete, can be described as "one-time completion." The number of brain neurons at birth is approximately the same as adults. The material basis of intelligence is nerve cells in the brain. Zinc plays an important role in promoting nucleic acid replication and protein synthesis in brain nerve cells. If zinc deficiency, not only affects the division and number of brain cells, but also affects the development of fetal visual and sexual organs. Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant women consume at least 100 mg of zinc per day.
