Good nutrition will support the growth of the fetus . Since the pregnancy , the fetal brain cell growth has to be maximized , through nutrition and stimulation . Therefore Similarly , mothers need to prepare proper nutrition since the beginning of pregnancy .
Important note, the forerunner of the brain is formed by the third week of pregnancy in the form of the neural plate . Then , in the fourth week turned into a neural tube . Then , in the fifth week of pregnancy begins to form large brain , brain stem , cerebellum and spinal cord .
Well , after coming into the world , an important period for brain growth are considered in the age of 0-2 years . Why ? The reason , the time span is the golden period ( golden age ) the fastest neurodevelopmental brain , particularly myelination . Indeed, until the age of 5 years of brain development continue , although not as fast as in previous years .
" When ( the golden period ) is the height of a child's brain development that will be the foundation for further development of the brain , " said Hardinsyah .
Brain undergoes remarkable development in childhood . Even to children aged 2 years to 75 percent brain weight adult brain . In addition , up to age 2 years anyway , the growth and development of a child's brain has reached 90 percent .
Then what is the function of the brain ? Lots. Brain was all over the inside of the governing body , misanlya motor movements , regulate blood pressure , secretion , hormones , breathing , emotions and even regulate body temperature and so on . No wonder when the brain called the most vital organ .
Well , again , the most important factor for the formation of brain cells during the golden period is nutrition . As for some of the nutrients that play a role is glucose , vitamins , minerals , linolenic acid , linoleic acid , essential amino acids and choline course .
