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.

    

1.5 lines more secrets

We generally do sight test, is e-type sight table, e opening respectively to the four directions of the words; while the pilot was selected to test the use of c-type sight table, c small opening towards eight directions, judgement by the testers. Reason is stricter requirements for pilots, when high speed flight at high altitudes, good vision helps to make a rapid response and accurate judgement.
Baby, of course, will not be used to test visual acuity chart, but scientists test found some baby\'s high visual acuity, equivalent to more than other babies on the standard eye chart to see 1.5 lines.

Why Visual and human intelligence have close relations?
Because the Visual stimuli is the formation of human understanding of the most important sources of information, information into the brain, vision 83%, vision of infant childhood living in appropriate environments, and lay a good foundation for their perceptual and cognitive development.
First, the relationship between vision and thinking. Studies show that in recent years: using Visual images can greatly improve a child\'s attention, memory and comprehensive ability. Objects that children will see him, the whole land, without hesitation, but clearly printed in mind, forming strong cerebral image, similar to photographic film, such as understanding the red light. Such capacity, the adults are far behind.
With Visual concept, from recognizing that it is a red light, to cognition to \"red light stop green line\". This is a more cognitive or more intelligent process. Have a thorough grasp of the situation, is the so-called \"smart\", that is, high IQ.
Second, vision and language. All Visual development of infants and young children, language development. This is one of the reasons, learning language are two aspects: first, have a sense of second, high visual acuity of infants will be keen to see the nuances of adult talking mouth shapes, potential plus language, facial expressions, gestures, infants imitate ability, quickly mastered the language.


How to get the baby to see more clearly?
From the baby was born, he is about to experience 12 months fast and fantastic vision of the development process. First born, development of baby eyes not fully, Visual structure, the optic nerve is not yet mature, only fuzzy eyes see things about 20 centimeters.
However, in each of the next day, they will gradually expand the vision of, different nutritional status of the baby, Visual development difference may gradually appear. At the age of the baby, in the case of equal distance, baby visual development well can see something more subtle. In their eyes, clear and ambiguous gap will affect the perception of speed and accuracy.



Retinal 50% is DHA in phospholipids, to baby visual development well, will be adequate amounts of DHA supplementation.
Famous United States Murray study: \"within the first 12 months after birth, infant from breast or formula milk powder scientifically verified intake levels 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. ”




What is Visual acuity, simply put, Visual acuity is the ability to discern objects or images and nuances. Can see more on the eye chart 1.5 lines, this is a big improvement! This shows that baby Visual acuity of a person one, imagine baby brain a day of information, both wide and higher quality-more clear, more accurate. They open up the brain thought to promote brain growth out dendrites, Axon, brain myelin, over time, baby, of course, smarter.

Age from half to one year old stage, is the baby during the rapid development in various areas. Baby from lying to sitting, then to crawling, standing, walking, its sense of space, depending on the acuity of vision, color vision are gradually improving. Baby will soon be able to see colorful world.

Baby thoughts: I see a colorful world


I was half-years old
Gradually, I think that great changes have taken place in the world.
I used only black and white of the eye,
Can I now found that a lot is in color.
My mother gave me a Bell, hanging on the wall paintings, my coat worn by sth
They wear colorful clothes to the world.
I also like father hold I play a game for small aircraft,
I like a small jet aircraft was he holding flew,
Colorful world around rotating move shakes up immediately,
I was giggling, to always fly, fly.


My birthday
I grew up, my eyesight was born 10 times!
I can climb, walk, naughty, I more and more exciting in the world.
I was wiser, people are so praised me.
When you go out for a walk,
I can see yellow flower, red, red flowers and green leaves,
I can smell the earthy aroma.
Now, I was finally able to see my mother\'s face,
Mother\'s eyes beauty, mother smiling good warm.

About 6 months, baby visual development of colors basically completed. In addition, the baby starts to like fast moving, in motion through Visual feeling excited. When the 8-month-old babies for things suddenly disappear before the eyes, appears to find responses. Babies gradually to identify relatives with eyes, and actively use the body\'s senses such as sight, hearing, touch to know the world. To about one year old, baby\'s vision is about 0.2-0.5, Visual image development has basically matured, then, can give some of the more elaborate toys and items to stimulate baby Visual and intellectual further development.
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. DHA is one of the most important nutrition is an important part of the retina, retinal 50% of the Phospholipid. This year, continued to add plenty of DHA, for babies to improve Visual acuity are particularly important.
Research shows that when one year old, continuous intake of adequate DHA not sufficient DHA intake by babies and baby, their differences in Visual acuity is equivalent to 1.5 line on the standard eye chart. This gap through the simulation of professional photographers, effects such as different levels of DHA, depending on the sensitivity of the baby will have a long way. Visual acuity strong baby, seeing the world more clearly, so it can accept more input, promote the intellectual development of baby\'s one step ahead.

Baby came to the world, open their eyes when you don\'t think that the baby can immediately see you babies need experienced quite a \"fog\" stage, from the light and shadow, barely visible, and basic to see that the baby\'s vision is the development of a feeling of most slowly, mature late.
Let us see how babies see mother\'s eyes, then hear An Ying Dr A+ is how we interpret the history and science of baby vision and brain development reasons.

Baby thoughts: I see mother beautiful eyes


I was born
I had a lot of effort, just from the mothers belly out.
When open my eyes, feel ghostly, blurry,
Only light and shadow in front of me shaking;
Although I couldn\'t see anything, but around the world much more than in the mother\'s belly when bright.
I best milk,
Because I back his head, just to see my mother\'s face,
Be warm to hold her in my arms, then enjoyed to eat a meal,
Feeling wonderful.


My hundred days
I used the bright world, much clearly all around,
When lying,
Often when things shake shake, also accompanied by soft music,
I curiously with the left, right,
Mother said that the sound cartridge is rotated.
Mother\'s face was barely visible,
I know that when she makes me, always smiling.

Birth, the baby\'s visual structure, optic nerve is not yet mature, visually only adult one-thirtieth can only see the light and shadow. Baby\'s best visual range is about 30 cm, just when mothers holding babies breast-fed, baby saw his mother face of distance. Neonatal preference for look more complex traits and curves and sharp contrast color, it\'s good for Visual development. When 3-4 months, baby will point things slowly, to follow moving objects of sight. Despite vision blurred, but the baby is finally seeing the panorama, this is a big leap forward. And your baby\'s vision will gradually mature.


DHA, commonly known as \"brain gold\", is a key component of the cerebral cortex, it became known effects on the baby\'s brain development. Scientific studies found that DHA in the baby visual development also play a very important role. Baby\'s retinal 50% is DHA in phospholipids, directly affect the development of retinal photoreceptor.


Baby visual development closely and brain development. Of cerebral cortex neurons in fetal period is complete, these neurons need to link up to form a \"synaptic\", would have nerve conduction. In the primary two years, baby brain cells an additional 40,000 per second \"synaptic\" junction points, formed in the brain \"the Internet\", which marked the infant\'s response to external stimulation in rapid development. At this time, well-baby visual development, receive more signals of external stimulation, \"the Internet\" more developed, the better the brain development. So, look better, baby smarter!
