Experts say that eating three eggs a day provides a woman with enough choline. It is a key nutrient for the development of a child's brain.
More than 90% of expectant mothers don't get enough choline during pregnancy, according to researchers from the University of North Carolina. And this nutrient is key to their child's brain development. However, quick dietary changes can help mothers-to-be provide their babies with just the right amount of this substance. You just need to eat three chicken eggs a day in any of their forms, both separately and in the form of additives in various kinds of dishes.
Studies show that choline is necessary for the normal development of the baby, but mothers pass it weakly to their children through the placenta, and then through breastfeeding. Few people know how important choline is, although children who are deprived of this nutrient in the first three years of life perform significantly worse on cognitive tests and often show attention impairment more severely than their peers whose mothers had enough choline.
First 1,000 days of a baby's life, or approximately three years, is the period of brain formation. During this period, choline is a key nutrient for proper development. This thousand days includes the bearing of a child. If the baby does not receive enough choline, then the consequences can affect him for the rest of his life. For example, 15-year-olds who were deficient in choline as children had lower test scores. (READ MORE)
