Early nutrition affects later IQ

A study involving thousands of children has found that the nutrition of children at the age of two has an influence on their cognitive performance and IQ four to five years later. Researchers observed that early dietary patterns can shape brain development and intellectual abilities in the future.

Eating habits linked to better outcomes

According to the study, certain eating habits such as eating more slowly and preferring raw foods can help improve daily eating habits. These behaviors may contribute to better overall nutrition and healthier lifestyle choices as children grow.

Expert offers practical advice

For Futura, nutritionist Arnaud Cocaul provided some simple tips to take back control of eating habits. His recommendations aim to help families make small but meaningful changes to improve the quality of their children's diets.

Focus on gradual changes

Cocaul emphasized that small, consistent adjustments in eating routines can lead to long-term benefits. His approach encourages parents to focus on creating sustainable habits rather than making drastic changes overnight.
