Diet during pregnancy and early life affects children’s behaviour and intelligence.

The statement “you are what you eat” is significant for the development of optimum mental performance in children as evidence is accumulating to show that nutrition pre-birth and in early life “programmes” long term health, well being, brain development and mental performance and that certain nutrients are important to this process. Researchers from the NUTRIMENTHE… Seguir Leyendo Diet during pregnancy and early life affects children’s behaviour and intelligence.
