There is evidence to suggest that what we feed our children can affect their long-term health, well being and mental development and that certain nutrients are key to this process.
NUTRIMENTHE is addressing this, in particular:-
Does taking folic acid during pregnancy affect foetal brain development and behaviour in children?
How fish, and specific fatty acids, taken during pregnancy affect children’s behaviour.
Does supplementation of nursery-age children with B-vitamins affect their cognitive development?
How protein intake (breast milk versus formula milk) during infancy affects later mental performance.
Nature versus nurture. Does our genetic make-up affect how we process certain nutrients?
Understanding how parents and teachers perceive that food affects mental performance of children.
Can the long-term economic impact of improving children’s mental performance be assessed?
Attend this event, and join the discussion, to hear how NUTRIMENTHE is addressing these issues and hear key results emerging from the project.
