Food and immune system are closely connected. As disclosed Dr. Zakiudin Munasir, Sp.A (K), Chairman of the Division of Allergy Immunology, Section of Child Health, Faculty of medicine / RSCM, that if either the digestive tract immunity, the immune system in general is good. Of the many food sources of nutrients that children need some type below is the source of the child's immune enhancer.

1. Flavonoids
According to research, soy milk generally contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, minerals and small amounts of very high and needed by the body, either to accelerate metabolism and for growth, repair damaged cells, energy sources, or to increase immunity. Institute a number of amino acids with vitamins and some other nutrients in soybean seeds will form the flavonoids. Flavonoids are a type of pigment, such as leaf green substance found in green plants. Scientifically, flavonoids proved to prevent and treat various diseases. And, one of the very many types of flavonoids found in soy beans are the isoflavones. One of isoflavones function is to enhance the immune system.

2. Spirulina
Spirulina, a blue microalgae, a source of protein is very high. Spirulina blue color plays an important role for the immune system. Spirulina is rich in vitamin B complex, vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, selenium, iron, and gamma linolenic acid (GLA). Phycocyanin is a protein complex that has a majority in spirulina health benefits, among others, to stimulate the stem cells in bone marrow, play a role in the production of white blood cells, which works to increase the immunity of the body. And red blood cells, which serves to circulate oxygen throughout the body. Spirulina is also very rich in selenium, an essential role in the immune system. Spirulina is more widely consumed as a supplement.

3. Zinc
Zinc or zinc is one of the main elements of life. In the human body, zinc is an essential micronutrient of the most widely spread, is also the richest in micronutrients cells. Zinc spread in the nervous system, immunity, blood and human digestive system, and participated in hundreds of types of binding and activity of enzymes in the body. The function of zinc, among others, is to improve the development of the body, increase intelligence, strengthen immunity, improve eye health, increasing growth, division and cell regeneration, and others. Zinc is an essential micro-nutrients in the cerebrum, there are a lot of fish, meat, eggs and other animal food products, the core of apricot seeds and fruit fir. Today, zinc is more widely consumed in supplement form.

4. Honey
Protein is one of the important nutrients immune builder. And, honey is one of the food sources of protein, which is able to maintain stamina, if taken regularly every day. According to the findings Y. Widodo, a researcher at the Nutrition Research and Development Center in Bogor, honey can help overcome energy shortages protein that affects many children and toddlers. Research Peter C. Molan (1992), researchers from the Department of Biological Sciences, University of Waikoto, in Hamilton, New Zealand, proved that honey contains an antibiotic substance active against the attack of pathogens that cause disease. Some infectious diseases of various pathogens that can be "cured" and is inhibited by honey regularly include stomach and gastrointestinal diseases penpencernaanan; skin diseases, acute respiratory infections (ARI), cough and fever, heart disease, liver, lung, and disease- diseases that could interfere with the eyes, ears, and nerves.

5. Omega 3
Fish oil is one of the nutrient-rich fatty acids for health benefits, because it contains about 25% saturated fatty acids and 75% unsaturated fatty acids. Polyunsaturated fatty acids in fish oil will help the process for growing up the brain (intelligence), and the development of the sense of vision and the immune system of infants and toddlers. Fish oil contains DHA and EPA, which is a combination of both are known as omega-3. Species of marine fish rich in omega-3 include salmon, tuna (especially bluefin tuna, yellow fin tuna, and albacore), sardines, herring, mackerel, and shellfish.

6. Prebiotics
Prebiotics can grow good bacteria in the system and prevent allergies penpencernaanan in the child's body. According to Dr Zakiudin, consumes very good prebiotic in strengthening immunity, especially in the digestive tract. Because when a good digestive tract immunity, immunity in general is good. Besides functioning to maintain the good bacteria, prebiotics also indirectly able to balance the immune system as well as reduce the risk of allergy. Sources of prebiotic can be obtained from natural foods such as wheat, onions, bananas, garlic, honey, and nuts. Some are in other forms or added to formula milk.

provision of intelligence for toddlers During this level of intelligence to be the most important part in the development of a person. If someone has a bright future parents of children who inherit it. Conversely, if parents are swimming in the shallows the possibility of children have no chance to dive deeper. This traditional assumption considers potesi limited intelligence intelligence at the time of child birth. Then was born the modern view of intelligence based on a person's brain capacity. That is, children will learn from experience if parents facilitate children who later have a major impact for the intelligence and potential.


Quoted from Kagan article online magazine titled Raising Smarter Children Develop Your Child's Many Ways Of Being Smart is written by the duo of brothers, Dr. Spencer Kagan and Miguel Kagan, said that there is a transformation of understanding on intelligence of children. Traditional assumptions about intelligence is when the child is born blessed with a certain level of intelligence which is then regarded as a fixed price. In terms of smart kids is the gift of God but can not diupayaakan.

Dr. Howard Gardner, a psychologist from Harvard University, USA, put forward his theory that intelligence is not entrenched in a certain and limited degree when a person is born. Each person develops intelligence''with a variety of ways, known as multiple intelligence,''he said. Like, Mozart was a genius musician, a composer as well Symphonies became one owner example of musical intelligence. Meanwhile, Einstein was one of the world's scientists have
intelligence and mathematical logic. Was Einstein smarter than Mozart? If judging from the theory of multiple intelligence, Einstein and Mozart are equally bright but different fields. So your child had the chance to develop their intelligence in various fields.

Gardner found the eight intelligences, namely language intelligent, smart logic / mathematical, visual-spatial intelligence, musical intelligence, intelligent motion, nature smart, socially smart, and intelligent self. Every person has the potential to have it, but its development is different.

For years, educators have developed a strategic direction for learning activities more interesting. Schools adopt mulitiple Intelligence through academic approach report that covers the area of intelligence tests in art, music, physical education, social relationships, understanding of self, and love nature. As a parent, you may ask, how to help children learn? The answer is a lot! You can help your child grow smarter by exploring children with a variety of activities.

There are several ideas to develop the intelligence of children that you can apply at home:

1. Linguistics: Reading stories, develop vocabulary by playing word

2. Logic / Math: Encouraging children to count, playing numbers, use the concept of simple addition and p engurangan

3. Visual / Spatial: Describe for your baby, sharing pictures and visual, Allow the baby to play color

4. Musical / Rhythm: Singing, Playing music, Introduce children with various sounds and music

7.Interpersonal: Let your baby interact with other babies, Playing 'pretend'

8. Intrapersonal: Give the baby time to be alone or in silence

Enriching the brain child described by Kagan in a classic study. Some scientists tested some rats that grow in different environments. A growing rats in an environment filled with toys, whereas rat B does not. Guess which one is more clever mouse? Namely rats A. A rat can get out of the tunnel puzzle faster than the mouse B. The experts also found changes in brain structure. The brain is fully developed and more weight in mice A. Recently, the study tested the primates who have the concept of human-like neural plasticity. In conclusion, someone to grow with better brain development was facilitated a variety of experiences.

Psychologist Risma Elly Moses said, the intelligence of children not only coming from the fulfillment of a balanced nutrition, but also accompanied by stimulation in children. Children are fussy, critical, and happy to tell you, if appropriate shavings will get a verbal linguistic ingenuity, which is a child who is able to interact and convince those around them. "Children like this who knows someday menjad orator such as Bung Karno," said Elly who is also Director of Yayasan Kita and Baby this.

It is unfortunate, he added, if the parents are too imposing their will on children. So the child can not develop the ability to optimally. "Do not let you as a parent too late to know the potential of children, because it can hinder their intelligence later in life," said Elly. Babies and toddlers age is golden period for brain development. When 10-year-old child's brain capacity is well established.
