=Diet During Pregnancy and Early Life May Affect Children's Behavior and Intelligence=

In this article it states the well known saying‍‍‍‍ "you are what you eat‍‍‍‍". ‍‍By that saying being stated ‍‍researchers looked ‍‍‍at the effect of, B-vitamins,‍‍‍ folic acid, breast milk versus formula milk, iron, iodine and omega-3 fatty acids, on the cognitive, emotional and behavioral development of children from before birth to age nine. Following their observations they discovered folic acid can reduce the likelihood of behavioral problems during early childhood. ‍‍Also by eating oily fish is also very beneficial, not only for the omega-3 fatty acids they which are 'building blocks' for brain cells, but also for the iodine content which has a positive effect on reading ability in children when measured at age nine‍‍. Professor Cristina Campoy, who led the project stated "Short term studies seem unable to detect the‍ real influence of  in early life," ‍and Professor Cristina Campoy stated "NUTRIMENTHE was designed to be a long-term study, as the brain takes a long time to mature, and early deficiencies may have far-reaching effects. So, early nutrition is most important." Not only will the diet you eat affect during pregnancy but the lifestyle after birth will also affect the children's behavior and intelligence. Cristina Campoy also stated,‍‍‍‍ "it is important to try to have good nutrition during pregnancy and in the early life of the child and to include breastfeeding if possible, as such 'good nutrition' can have a positive effect on mental performance later in childhood." Following through the pregnancy and early childhood it is highly important to have a well nourished lifestyle.‍‍‍‍
