What Breast Milk Contains | Brain Nutrition For Baby

Breast milk contains nutrients that can encourage the process of neurological development and brain with the compositions stay within the needs of infants. Therefore, various efforts to infant formula products containing milk nutritional approach. Nutrition is among other LC-PUFAs, taurine, zinc, iron.

- Fatty acids, unsaturated long chain (LC-PUFA)
Also known as AA (arachidonic acid) and DHA (dokosaheksaenoat acid). AA and DHA intake needed for optimal development of baby's retina during the early period of his life. Both these fatty acids also help the development of nerve tissue and improve problem-solving abilities.

- Taurine
There are a few body tissues. High levels found in brain and retina. This is a free amino acid concentrations are highest in the developing brain. In the adult brain, held the highest concentration of glutamic acid, taurine new afterward.

Various studies mentioned, taurine plays a role in various metabolic processes, also in neuromodulasi (process modification of neural activity and transmission of nerve impulses) central nervous system, metabolism, brain and retina, and muscle growth.

- Zinc
During the growth period, zinc affects brain development and behavior. Also play a role in conjunction with a deficit of activity, attention, and motor development. Zinc deficiency can cause emotional disturbances, attention, and memory. It's never been investigated in mice.

- Iron
Micro nutrients that are important to fetal brain. The most essential nutrient in a baby's brain cognitive function is also useful as a cofactor (nonprotein compound that helps the working enzyme), various enzymes. If this deficiency, mental and psychomotor development of infants could be disrupted. (GHS / abd).
