Protein is needed to jump start the brain's neurotransmitters, which drives creative thinking, memory, focus and concentration. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transfer messages around nerve cells in the brain.
Other food which helps healthy brain development includes those that contain B vitamins (found in whole grains, cereals, eggs and dairy products), C vitamins ( in fruit and vegetables) and iron (in red meat, green leafy vegetables and peas). and don't cut all fats from your child's diet either, as fats and cholesterol are needed for proper brain development and function.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. A child who skips it may perform poorly in tasks that require concentration. Breakfast is critical to revving up young brains for learning, concentration and creative thinking in school. The trick to fuelling the brain is to include some protein foods such as beans, eggs, fish and meat.
