The President, Federation of African Nutrition Societies, Prof. Ngozi Nnam, has said that inadequate nutrition all through pregnancy has a devastating impact on the brain development of babies.
The don explained, “If the brain did not form well and you are using all possible means to teach the child, the child will not conceptualise because the brain needs certain nutrients to develop well so that you don’t have gaps. The nutritionist identified poor brain development as one of the factors responsible for poor academic performance in children.
“So, you might see a child whenever it comes to mathematics, that child is not doing well but when it comes to things like reading, the child will read well. Then, you will be wondering what is happening. “There are many things that are not obvious. When you go for antenatal checks, you don’t notice them. The doctor will check and check and tell you that everything is okay. But the doctor does not know that the cells are not forming well and there are gaps in the brain.
