全球醫藥新知=懷孕時多吃水果可能讓你的孩子更聰明 媽媽懷孕初期吃水果 生寶寶卡聰明http://www.globalmednews.tw/news_view.php?no=699 http://times.hinet.net/news/18357550


國外有句諺語：「一天一蘋果，醫師遠離我」。不只蘋果，很多人都知道，吃水果有益身體健康，可以幫助減少心臟病、中風風險。加拿大一項研究更發現，孕婦在懷孕初期吃水果，可以幫助促進胎兒認知功能發展，對寶寶很有好處。
上述研究成果已發表於《EbioMedicine》期刊。
研究人員以六百八十八名嬰幼兒為研究對象，結果發現，孕婦吃越多水果，小孩出生到了一歲，接受認知功能測試時，成績表現越好。
研究作者指出，想要了解嬰兒認知發展情況，母親懷孕時吃多少水果，為重要預測指標。懷孕吃越多水果，小孩認知發展也越好。
研究人員進一步分析發現，懷孕女性若一天吃六、七份水果或果汁，小孩到了一歲接受智商測試時，平均分數多六到七分。
不過研究人員也提醒，孕婦如果吃太多水果，可能攝取過多果糖，進而導致妊娠糖尿病、寶寶出生體重過重等潛在風險。因此孕婦如果想要吃水果，最好參考一下政府飲食建議指南，也要諮詢一下醫師，以免吃太多水果，對身體、寶寶造成傷害。

阿爾伯塔大學的科學家們在加拿大健康嬰兒縱向發展研究中發現，如果孕婦每天吃六至七份水果，他們的嬰兒在一歲的時候的智商比同齡其他嬰兒高六到七點。
這是對700名埃德蒙頓孩子進行研究得出的結果。
研究報告的作者Piush Mandhane博士說：「我們知道，如果孩子在子宮內呆的時間越長，他們發育的就會越好，如果媽媽每天多吃一份的水果，相當於又在子宮內多呆一周的效果。」
對嬰兒認知能力的評價基於嬰兒發展研究的貝利模式，主要考察嬰兒的多種因素，包括視覺，注意力，記憶力和探索認知發展評估等數據。

研究中使用的食品問卷還詢問了婦女從懷孕開始吃的食品的分量和頻率，水果總攝入量是水果份量的日常總和再加上果汁。
另外，實驗發現，如果母親喝更多的果汁，那麼孩子的學習和記憶力會有所改善。
但如果嬰兒出生後吃水果那效果和懷孕時吃差遠了。
這份研究已經刊登在EBioMedicine上。- See more at: http://www.ntdtv.com/xtr/b5/2016/05/19/a1267296.html#sthash.NdjkEeO3.dpuf

Women who eat more fruits during pregnancy may give birth to smarter children, a new study has claimed.
Researchers found that mothers who consumed more fruit during pregnancy gave birth to children who performed better on developmental testing at one year of age.
"We found that one of the biggest predictors of cognitive development was how much fruit moms consumed during pregnancy," said Piush Mandhane from University of Alberta in Canada.
"The more fruit moms had, the higher their child's cognitive development," said Mandhane.
The study examined data from 688 children, and controlled for factors that would normally affect a child's learning and development such as family income, paternal and maternal education, and the gestational age of the child.
Using a traditional IQ scale as a model, the average IQ is 100 and the standard deviation is 15; two thirds of the population will fall between 85 and 115, researchers said.
The study showed that if pregnant mothers ate six or seven servings of fruit or fruit juice a day, on average their infants placed six or seven points higher on the scale at one year of age, they said.
"It is quite a substantial difference - that is half of a standard deviation," said Mandhane. "We know that the longer a child is in the womb, the further they develop - and having one more serving of fruit per day in a mother's diet provides her baby with the same benefit as being born a whole week late," he said.
To further build on the research, Mandhane teamed with Francois Bolduc from Alberta University, who researches the genetic basis of cognition in humans and fruit flies.
"Flies are very different from humans but, surprisingly, they have 85 per cent of the genes involved in human brain function, making them a great model to study the genetics of memory," said Bolduc.
"To be able to improve memory in individuals without genetic mutation is exceptional, so we were extremely interested in understanding the correlation seen between increased prenatal fruit intake and higher cognition," he said.
Bolduc showed that flies born after being fed increased prenatal fruit juice had significantly better memory ability, similar to the results shown by Mandhane with one-year-old infants.
The findings were published in the journal EbioMedicine.
