Visual nutrients

Eyes are known as \"the Windows of the soul\", it is through the window, outside of all kinds of information can be better delivered to the brain. Of the information in the brain, 83% are from the Visual system. Good effective visual stimulation, can make the baby more clear, precise perception, acceptance, processing outside information, in the cerebral cortex to form more visual memories, so as to promote the development of the brain, raising the level of intelligence.
Therefore, during your baby\'s development, Visual development is a crucial link, and adequate nutrition is a visual development of material base.

One of the nutrients: DHA
In the retinal photoreceptors, DHA is the most abundant of plural unsaturated long chain fatty acids, 50% per cent of total phospholipids in the retina. Due to the baby itself are not synthetic DHA, so can only rely on the diet to supplement. Research shows that deep-sea fish and seaweed food with rich in DHA, and other foods with little or only in small amounts of DHA, infants will be primarily through breast milk or formula to intake of DHA.
The first year after birth, is the key to baby Visual function development period. Nutrition provided to your baby\'s vision and intellectual development to have a lasting impact. Reasonable nutrition standards published by the World Health Organization and the United Nations FAO, science of DHA intake to 20 mg/kg body weight/day. If the baby is a weight of 5 kilograms, it is recommended that intake 100 mg of DHA per day. United States comprehensive study of the Murray (Morale Paper) says, \"within the first 12 months after birth, infants continued from breast milk or formula in scientific validation level intake of DHA, help baby development of Visual acuity in the 52 weeks of age, equivalent to 1.5 more on the standard eye chart line. ”

Nutrition II: Vitamin a
To maintain the body\'s normal vision, especially for observation capacity of kept under low light, vitamin a has a very important role. Because it is an important raw material for synthesis of rhodopsin, and rhodopsin is a photosensitive material, present in the retina. If the lack of vitamin a, eyes feel the low light capabilities will decline, cannot see objects under low light. Baby daily food supplement to vitamin a supplementation, such as carrots, liver of animals. To note is that vitamin a supplementation cannot hurriedly seek once excessive added, are also easy to cause vitamin a toxicity.

Three of the nutrients: taurine
　　There are a large number of taurine in human retina, it can improve Visual function, promoting the development of retinal. Self-healing capacity of the cornea of the eye, and taurine can strengthen the self-healing of strengthen the corneal against eye diseases. Thus, to prevent eye disease and the protection of taurine eye health is also very important. When in retina of taurine content decreases, the structure and function of retina disorders may occur, this is extremely detrimental to Visual development. At this point, taurine is necessary as soon as possible.

Nutrients of four: antioxidant nutrients
Light sensitive eyes if it is easy to produce oxidation problems, timely at this time to add some antioxidants, such as vitamins c and e and lutein.
Fruit and vegetable sources of vitamin c, vitamin c is especially rich in dark green vegetables. Vitamin e derived from deep green vegetables, vegetable oils, wheat germ, etc.
Lutein belongs to the class of beta-carotene, retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration and cataracts and other eye diseases with age, there is a clear preventive and improvement. Lutein cannot synthesis by the body itself, there is no authoritative nutrition bodies to suggest lutein intake. In fact, the supplement of lutein is very simple, cost is not high, as long as choose deep green vegetables on it, such as spinach, cabbage, and so on.
