The relationship

between nutrition and

learning is important

for people who care for

children.  Cognitive

development is a term

that covers human

perception, thinking ,

and learning.

Nutrition, genes, and environment are three major factors impacting cognitive development.

Because there are many factors that impact learning, scientists cannot say, “If you eat this, you will be smarter.”

However, the role of

good nutrition in child

development and

learning is important.

Nutrition during the

early years of a child’s

life is linked to   performance

in later years.
