Intelligence is one of the prime skills to sustain in the world. Though it is mainly dependent on genes, certain foods impact a baby’s intelligence.

Baby’s brain begins to develop in the first trimester. Hence eat these foods during pregnancy from the beginning of your pregnancy to have an intelligent and genius baby.

Spinach and other leafy vegetables have many health benefits. 100 grams of spinach contains 194 micrograms of folate and 2.71 mg iron. Folic acid and iron are essential for DNA replication, vitamin metabolism, and for overall growth of your baby. That’s why doctors prescribe iron supplements for pregnant women.

Fruits are rich in vitamins and minerals in addition to antioxidants. Fruits like blueberries, pomegranates, oranges, mangoes, banana and apples are very much beneficial to pregnant women as well as the baby. Especially blueberries are rich in antioxidants which help in brain development of fetus and newborn babies.

Almonds are known as brain foods. 100 grams of almonds have 21 grams of proteins, 12.5 grams of dietary fibre, 44 micrograms of folate and 3.71 mg of iron. They are loaded with plenty of essential vitamins and minerals. Regular consumption of a fistful of almonds is enough to deliver a genius baby.

Walnuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids in addition to vitamins and minerals. They also help in stable and rapid brain development of fetus.

Eggs and cheese which are rich in protein and vitamin D help in brain development in the fetal stage. Several studies found the link between vitamin D and brain health.

Yogurt, especially Greek yoghurt is rich in protein. It promotes the growth of good bacteria in the body. So, if you are looking for a smart baby, consume it daily.

Milk is certainly a very essential food even after child’s birth. It is very helpful for the fetus as well as the infant with its protein, calcium and potassium. So, drink milk during gestation to deliver a brilliant baby.
