Children are not only the hope and future of every family, but also the future of the world. A child's early development has a decisive impact on his or her future. We must act urgently to make investing in early childhood development a priority for every country to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, UN Children** said. In 2015, early childhood development was included in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, further highlighting its growing importance in the global development agenda.
The first 1000 days of life refer to:From the fetal period of a woman's pregnancy (280 days) to the baby's two years of age (780 days).。These 1000 days are defined by the World Health OrganizationA "window of opportunity" for a person's growth and development。This is a critical period that determines the health of a person's life, not onlyDirectly affects growth and brain developmentand will also be for itBuild a solid foundation of immunityfor the futureAffects lifelong physical and neuropsychological potentialDo the foreshadowing.
The first 1,000 days of life is a critical period for neurodevelopment, with the nervous system developing fastest within the age of two, followed by physical growth. Children's brain is the material basis of intellectual and neuropsychological development, and children's brain development is the most rapid before the age of 3, which is the most critical period of brain development, called children's brain development**1000 days.
Studies have shown that the brain weight of newborns has reached about 25%, and the weight of the baby's brain has reached about 80% before the age of 3. The reason why a baby's brain develops so quickly is because after birth, the baby constantly stimulates brain development through different perceptions. Under the stimulation of various information, the brain is developing rapidly, and the brain regions that control functions such as information processing, memory, planning, attention, and language development will develop rapidly.
The human brain is a very complex structure, which governs a series of activities such as human thoughts, behaviors, actions, language, emotions, etc., and is the highest leader of the human body, and also reflects a person's intellectual development, which directly affects a person's life.
Everyone wants to have a smart brain with a higher IQ than others, but the development of the brain is closely related to many factors, such as environment, nutrition, genetics, education, disease, etc., and there are many factors that we cannot decide. However, studies have found that the most important development time of the human brain lies in the first 1000 days, and grasping the nutrition of this period of time can effectively ensure the development of the human brain and keep yourself from falling behind others.
The first 1,000 days of life is the most critical period for a baby's brain development, and the nutrients needed for brain development should not be underestimated. In the first 2 years of life, about 50%-75% of the baby's energy will be used for brain development and growth, and neurons will establish brain links at a rate of more than 1 million times per second to build the baby's brain information transmission network.
Inadequate nutrient intake during this period can lead to:The child has stunted growth, decreased cognitive ability, and weakened immunity, and even increase the risk of developing chronic diseases in the future, andThese injuries are irreversibleEven if the child is fully supplemented after the age of 3, it is difficult for the baby's physique, intelligence, and immunity to reach the best state. Therefore, improving nutrition in the first 1000 days of life has become an important global public health research topic.
At the United Nations Millennium Development Goals Summit held in New York in April 2010, the "1,000 days of action" goal was put forward for the first time, urging the international community to step up practical actions to improve and enhance the quality of life in the first 1,000 days of life formation for children around the world. In 2016, the World Health Organization's Comprehensive Implementation Plan for Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition proposed that the first 1,000 days of life should change a life and change the future.
In 2019, the National Health Commission recommended that special attention be paid to nutritional support and intervention in the first 1,000 days of life, and the importance of early life nutrition intervention is widely recognized. The scientific review of "Scientific Evidence for Brain Development and Nutrition in the Early 1000 Days of Life" (hereinafter referred to as "Scientific Evidence") systematically and deeply expounds the scientific evidence of nutrients related to brain neurodevelopment. This article provides a comprehensive introduction to the development process, corresponding functional development and important influencing factors of the brain in early life. The role of macronutrients, micronutrients, and other functional nutrients associated with brain neurodevelopment has also been studied in detail, such as:Breast milk oligosaccharides, active lipids, probioticsWait.
In view of the impact of early life nutrition intervention on brain and neurological development, this paper also scientifically analyzes the effects of early life nutrition intervention on brain and nerve development, and points out that good and balanced nutrient supply of the mother is of great significance for the healthy development of the fetus and resistance to adverse risks. The formulation and release of "Scientific Evidence" has added another authoritative achievement in the field of early life brain development, and also provided theoretical basis guidance for nutrition practice to ensure the healthy brain development of infants and young children.
The first 1000 days of life is a very important topic for children's health care and development from the perspective of nutrition, and it is divided into 3 nutritional stages:Fetal period (intrauterine nutrition), breast milk or infant formula period, complementary food supplementation and early dietary period. The body may face different nutrition-related risk factors during these three periods, with a particular emphasis on the breastfeeding or infant formula period.
As we all knowBreast milk is the most important nutrient in infancy and early childhood**。The World Health Organization recommends conditional casesTry to breastfeed your baby until he is 2 years old, which also coincides with the period from the fetal period to the first 2 years after birth, which is a critical period for the growth and development of the baby.
However, the more realistic problem is that many mothers do not have enough breast milk or are busy with work and some other factors, and there is simply "no condition" for the baby to breastfeed until the age of 2. In this case,Formula is the most important nutritional supplement for infants and young children, its importance is reflected.
The magic of breast milk is that babies have all the nutrients they need, and they can adjust and adapt to their own baby's developmental needs. However, formula milk powder cannot be matched by itself, and parents need to choose and screen.
Among the many infant formula brands, the pioneer of modern infant formula milk powderWyeth relies on its own pharmaceutical backgroundRelying on the strong scientific research strength of Nestlé Group and the century-old scientific research accumulation of breast milk, adhering to the concept of 'respecting breast milk, researching breast milk, and learning breast milk', through continuous innovation and upgrading, we provide the most scientific and cutting-edge nutrition solutions for the next generation. ”
Song Liang, a senior analyst at Dairy, said that Wyeth has been leading the development and innovation of nutritional science for more than a century, and is one of the early pioneers of nutrition research and development. Wyeth is also continuing to translate cutting-edge scientific research results into products and complete category innovation for more consumer groups.
HMO breast milk oligosaccharides, which have multiple clinical certification effects and meet the needs of infants and young children of multiple ages, have been regarded by the industry as a hot spot for innovative research and development in the field of infant formula in the future after the completion of domestic approval, and their application in products in the future has also become the core of competition in the infant formula industry.
HMO breast milk oligosaccharides have a very broad future application prospect in infant and children's food, especially for more than 200 kinds of oligosaccharides in breast milk, the more types of applications will be more helpful to children's growth and development. HMO breast milk oligosaccharides can not only be added to infant milk powder, but also can be added to infant complementary food and children's snacks, which can meet the wide range of needs of children and improve children's immunity and digestion. As one of the most important nutrients in breast milk, HMO breast milk oligosaccharides have become the focus of attention in the entire maternal and infant industry, and have also become a touchstone for brands to compete in formula innovation capabilities.
Under the tide of change from domestic infant formula milk powder to HMO breast milk oligosaccharides, Wyeth is at the forefront of the track, and its "Qifu Future" has the world's largest variety of products with HMO breast milk oligosaccharides, and the total content of HMO breast milk oligosaccharides in the new national standard Qifu is as high as 72 grams of liters, far ahead of the global HMO breast milk oligosaccharide track. In the face of the continuous release of HMO breast milk oligosaccharides in the domestic market demand in the future, Wyeth will re-deploy as a pioneer and will launch children's powder containing HMO breast milk oligosaccharides 2-FL and LNNT customized for 3-year-old + babies.
The first 1,000 days of life is the first critical stage in a child's development and plays a decisive role in a person's life. It is mainly reflected in the good nutrition of the first 1000 days of life is the basis for the physical growth and brain development of embryos and infants, and affects the development of lifelong physical and neuropsychological potentialMay reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, and diabetes in adulthood.
**The National Nutrition Plan (2017-2030), issued in 2017, lists the first 1,000 days of life nutrition and health action as a major action. These 1,000 days of nutrition are the first period of a child's lifelong nutrition. Therefore, we must pay attention to nutritional supplementation during this period to help the healthy growth of the baby. It's like saving money in your child's health account, the more you save, the sooner you can make your child healthy, happy and happy.
