These common vitamins during pregnancy make babies more intelligent

 Vitamin D is an important nutrient that is very important for various functions of our body. Healthy levels of vitamin D in the mother's body during pregnancy help in the brain development of the baby.



Research published in the medical journal The Journal of Nutrition has found that vitamin D levels in mothers during pregnancy are related to children's intelligence. That is, the higher the vitamin D level during pregnancy, the more likely it is that the child's intelligence will increase. The researchers said that vitamin D deficiency is now very common in the general population, including pregnant women, and the results are expected to not ignore the lack of vitamin D in women. He said that melanin protects the skin from sun damage, but while blocking ultraviolet rays, melanin reduces the production of vitamin D in the skin, which is why a large number of people need vitamin D. There is a shortage. 


The study found that vitamin D deficiency was more common in 46% of pregnant women, especially in black women. The study used data from a 2006 study of children, which included pregnant women and collected details of children's health and development over time. Considering several other factors related to intelligence, the researchers found that there is a link between higher levels of vitamin D in women during pregnancy and higher intelligence in children aged 4 to 6 years. Although such observational research does not prove the cause, researchers believe that these findings will be important in the near future and more research will be done. "Vitamin D deficiency can be controlled and the good news is that the solution is very simple, ie using a supplement," he said. In addition, it is possible to get vitamin D from rabbi fish, eggs and fortified country. Researchers say that research is needed to determine the ideal level of vitamin D during pregnancy.
