Determine Children's IQ and EQ since the Womb

A person can not be said to be intelligent only by the value of intelligent quotient ( IQ ) owned. Levels of emotion that determines how he addressing sekelilin conditions, also be an important component of intelligence. This attitude is reflected in the value of emotional quotient ( EQ ​​) owned.

EQ is a high value indicates a person has a good social attitude. That is, he will be the appropriate norms and rules that apply. The opposite occurs in those with low EQ, which indicates antisocial attitudes and self-serving. A person with such an attitude tends to be minimal benefit to the people around him.

The combined value of both IQ and EQ that will produce quality individuals. The individual is expected to maximize the potential for self- advancement and its environment. Certainly not a short trip compile such high quality individuals.

The trip started in mothers planning pregnancy right after getting married. This is manifested in the mother 's commitment to always consume enough nutrients every day, including micronutrients. " Maternal micronutrient consumption not only determine the cognitive, but also behave children. Behavior is then determine whether or not a child of good quality in public life, " said an expert in obstetrics and gynecology, Dr. Dr. Noroyono Wibowo, SpOG ( K ).

Micronutrients, said Noroyono, plays a major role in the preparation of the nervous system is necessary even in small quantities. During pregnancy, the central nervous system is the most early and late formed. For 9 months the mother should ensure adequate consumption of micronutrients include iron, zinc, folate, vitamins, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and copper.

Sufficient micronutrients will result in nerve cells are formed and connected perfectly. In contrast, micronutrient deficiency causes nerve cells are not arranged perfectly. In fact, the quality of the nerve cells is what determines the value of IQ and EQ children.

Noroyono exemplifies the impact of iron deficiency not only causes anemia. Iron deficit resulting in poor connections between nerve cells ( myelinated ). Connective sheath myelinated nerve cell is composed of fat and protein.

Good sheath accelerates the delivery of information between nerve cells to the brain and processed into a response. While the sheath is bad, there are many holes making it difficult for information to the brain. In fact it is not impossible that the information leaked and lost in the middle of the road. As a result there is no response given body.

Sheath bad will result in a slow -minded individuals, not responsive, and difficulty concentrating. " And the response is what determines the quality of children's IQ and EQ. Children with autism do not have myelinated good, because it was not surprising that the response is minimal, " said Noroyono.

Poor micronutrient adequacy facilitate a child affected by psychiatric disorders (psychological disorder ) such as depression, schizophrenia, suicide until an early age.

Unfortunately micronutrient adequacy is still low among pregnant women in Indonesia. Currently, Noroyono said, there are an estimated 2.4 million pregnant women are iron deficient and 60 percent of maternal zinc deficiency. In fact, other than as a constituent of the myelin sheath, iron also arrange energy chain that determines the child stamina throughout his life. While zinc ensure proper functioning of the DNA chain and minimize mutations.

" Micronutrient Deficiencies in fact more severe impact than a low weight, or imperfect organs. Both can be fixed, unlike the nervous system that determines its quality in the future, " said Noroyono.
