Creating Nation with Intelligent People: Prenatal-Postnatal Foods and Practices Nurturing intelligence

Abstract Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to awaken individuals responsible for developing child policies, Acts, maternal policies, or food and nutrition policy guidelines to include a list of foods available in their localities with potential for the unborn and children brain development. Indeed, adults are not exclusive, but emphasis is on the unborn and children. Including foods for improving intelligence, it means that society will ensure expectant mothers take recommended foods to promote intelligence of a newborn. The purpose is to enable food and nutrition related policy developers and implementers (society) to translate easily the policies through adopting to taking the recommended foods. The policy developers and implementers are such as health servants, teachers, parents or guardians. Policy developers and implementers need to know foods that expectant mothers are required to take regularly for fetal brain development before and after the mother delivers. Indeed, the same foods need to be taken by a newborn or child. On this basis, the paper provides a list of foods useful for the development of the brain in prenatal and postnatal periods. In addition, the paper indicates that the development of the brain of the fetus and a newborn depends on nurturing environment created during and after pregnancy. The environment includes intentional actions (practices) and provided foods to develop the fetus and the child’s brain. Furthermore, the paper shows the research knowledge gap relating to information available on prevalence of awareness or knowledge on foods for fetus and child brain development in different population segments and localities. The purpose is to know the segment or locality with the least awareness in order to intervene through creating it by introducing special awareness creation programmes. Moreover, the paper recommends future researchers to navigates on knowledge (awareness) and application of the best practices to improve intelligence of the unborn and a newborn. The paper ends with providing policy implications based on research agenda and improving national policies on food and nutrition to enhance fetal and child brain development; thus, improving intelligence of a children in a nation.
