5 simple ways for your baby to be intelligent from the womb

If you want your children to develop a good and perfect nervous system, mothers should add iodine in their daily meals

       Iodine plays an important role in the formation of thyroid hormones. Thanks to that, the fetal nervous system is well developed and completed throughout pregnancy.

        If the mother is iodine deficient, it will affect the fetus, the baby can be born with a decrease in IQ. On the contrary, if pregnant mothers take difficulty in increasing iodine with a suitable amount during pregnancy, this is an opportunity to help children increase IQ right from the womb. Experts say that pregnant mothers are supplemented with iodine, the IQ of the baby at birth can add up to 17.25 points.

       Suggestions to help mothers elect iodine supplements:

Mother needs a maximum amount of iodine is 220mcg / day

Use iodized salt in food preparation every day.

Enhance dishes with fish in the menu.

Pregnant mothers remember to drink milk and eat eggs regularly.

Vitamin D can help your baby be smart from the womb

         During fetal development, vitamin D plays an important role in building and forming the baby's muscles and bones. Not only that, thanks to vitamin D, pregnant mothers' mood swings and emotions are easier to control. This will have a positive effect on the fetus. Children will not only be intelligent and intellectually but also emotionally.

        Suggestions to help mothers supplement vitamin D during pregnancy:

Fresh, easy-to-process fish like salmon, carp, ... contain a huge amount of vitamin D. Mom try dishes such as steamed fish, pan-fried salmon, fish porridge, ... see why.

Eggs, milk and legumes are also rich in vitamin D. Pregnant mothers forget to drink milk regularly and change menus with eggs and beans such as scrambled eggs, meat eggs or stewed bean soup are all delicious.

However, in fact, the amount of vitamin D that pregnant mothers can absorb through food may not be as much as the fetus needs. So usually mothers will be prescribed more vitamins according to the instructions of the doctor.

Exercise, walking in the morning and afternoon when the sun is mild is also a way for pregnant mothers to increase the amount of vitamin D for their baby in her belly.

I remember absolutely abstaining from alcoholic beverages

      Drinking alcoholic beverages before and during pregnancy will seriously affect the physical, behavior and psychology of the fetus in the future. This is also one of the causes can lead to physical and brain retardation. 

      In addition, mothers should also avoid smoking and drugs. They are all factors that directly affect the baby's brain in the womb.

      Therefore, if you want your baby to be intelligent from the womb, stay away from these harmful things to the fetus.

Vitamin B and folic acid - Substances needed to build a developing brain for your baby

         A diet rich in B vitamins and folic acid will greatly contribute to the development of the child's brain while still in the womb. These two substances help the child's nerve cells to be completed in the best way, not only that, but also prevent the child from having brain defects of the fetus.

      Suggestions to help mothers supplement vitamin B and folic acid:

Enhance your menu with fish, eggs, beans and dark green vegetables like cauliflower, spinach, ...

Take multivitamins and folic acid before pregnancy and during pregnancy as prescribed by your doctor.

Exercise is one of the great ways to keep your baby smart from the womb 

       The benefits of exercising with pregnant mothers can be said to be many. With appropriate exercise and physical activities during pregnancy, pregnant mothers will easily control their weight as well as have a healthy, supple body to prepare for the process of giving birth later. 

     Also, during exercise, the amount of oxygen delivered to the fetus is increased. Mother-to-baby metabolism is also getting better. Thanks to that, it positively affects the physical and brain development of the child. 

      Some studies have shown that 5-year-old babies born to mothers who regularly exercise during pregnancy have better brain and language development than normal. 

     Exercise during pregnancy, remember to note:

Consult your doctor for an appropriate regimen of physical activity.

Do not exercise too much for me.

Choose a form of exercise suitable for the health of the mother and fetus.

      Hopefully, with the above 5 methods, the pregnant mother will perform it regularly during pregnancy so that the baby will be healthy and smart as expected.
