Toddler's junk food diet can lead to lower IQ

What we use our body (and to tag) to our children, the bodies of the far-reaching impact, for better or worse.

Even if you are constantly hearing about how bad eating habits formed children's fat, the cohort study show that toddlers are diet can affect the future of cognitive skills too.

Bristol University researchers more information during the period between 1991 and 1992, children born 3,966. Children of parents in their children's diet was carried out surveys on 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8, ages and children's IQs measured 8-years old.

Parents will be posted on a wide variety of foods and beverages, including but not limited to details such as the fat content of milk, whether or not refined or whole breads, cereals were and how much soda or coffee consumption in their children's children are to be consumed.

On the basis of the reports of parents, children, researchers set up one of the three types of diet:

"Processed" diet, rich in fat, sugar and burnt. "The traditional ' diet (the British sense of the term), potatoes, vegetables, bread and meat. "The diet-conscious ", whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, rice, pasta, and lean proteins like fish.Overall, for children who ate fast food diet 3 empty calorie age was eating healthy foods to children, as compared to the small drop at the age of 8.5, IQ.Research, other environmental factors that may affect the IQ level, such as parents ' education, maternal diet during pregnancy, the socio-economic status and manage stressful events.Each unit of increase in processed food children lost IQ 1.67 points.Each unit of increase in a healthy diet, the children received 1.2 IQ points.An early diet seemed to affect children later verbal abilities, which is higher than that of their performance. "The Performance of individual intellectual property rights associated with the IQ omaatuntoa ability, verbal IQ reflects more when training, which in turn is influenced by influences such as parenting and the impact on the environment," wrote the researchers.

Researchers in this study is to propose this cohort, which is attached to the General ruokavaliotottumusten in early childhood and later on the child's behavior and school performance, in particular, Hyperactivity, as in the previous investigations.

This study shows that common adage, "the food is the fuel," relates, as well as how we can fuel our bodies and brains. Toddler's Brains are mad-house action constituting the dizzying rate of cloned stem cells prove identical to fertilized connections. Only makes sense that some of the impact of nutrition, toisiko one way or the other of these many delicate and intensive processes.

Although dietary recall studies are inclined to burst, the period of validity of the tests and IQ blurry questionable food intake, and the role of intellectual activity, deserves some additional research. It would be interesting if they could continue to Tease out the specific ruokavaliotottumusten fall. For example, I wonder how much fish consumption was one of the results.
