Research into early life reveals that environmental factors such as nutrition can have a positive influence on baby’s future health, especially during the crucial days from conception through to toddlerhood.
Based on the science of early life:
- Only 20% of the future of a child is determined by your genes
- 80% is influenced by environment
- Nutrition plays a key role
- Birth weight doubles up to 6 months and triples up to 1 year
- A single cell at conception 500,000,000,000,000,000,000 cells by Year Three
- by the age of three 80% of the adult brain is formed
Scientists have spent decades studying disease patterns and have discovered links between the health of babies at birth and the development of allergies, obesity and other health issues later on.
You can make a big difference to your little one’s whole future by making good nutritional choices from the very first day of conception right through to toddlerhood. During this time, your baby goes through the fastest period of growth and development that they ever will.
