Many think that smart children are born from parents who are also smart, aka from inherited genes. However, it turns out that there are other things that contribute to forming intelligent children. Including father’s habit you know.
Genes do play a major role in determining the intelligence and personality of the baby. However, the right lifestyle choices can develop a baby’s intelligence.
Researchers estimate that only half of IQ is derived from genes and the rest is influenced by a baby’s environment. “Intelligence arises from the interaction of a person’s genetic makeup and the environment in which they develop,” said Thomas J. Darvill, PhD, launching from WebMD.
4 Father’s habits make babies born smart
Actually, to have a smart baby can be done before conception. Fathers and Mothers should avoid drugs, alcohol, tobacco and caffeine. If you drink alcohol or use drugs, you must stop.
“The most damaging developmental conditions result from prenatal damage,” says Darvill.
Brain cells rely on chemical signals to tell them where to go, how to connect, and which genes to turn on or off.
“Any foreign material that interferes with the clear transmission of this chemical message can negatively impact development,” said Darvill.
Every type of drug use, from caffeine to heroin, has the potential to limit the intellectual development of the unborn child.
While there is research that shows the age and lifestyle of fathers have a significant effect on their children. So far, what we know is that mothers can affect children’s health such as smoking or drinking alcohol, especially during pregnancy.
But a growing body of research shows that a man’s diet, drink, smoking and age can cause birth defects, autism, obesity, mental illness and other problems in his children.
Joanna Kitlinska, PhD, assistant professor of biochemistry and molecular & cellular biology at Georgetown University, looks at dozens of studies on father-child health. According to Kitlinska, age and unhealthy habits cause changes in male genes.
“Research shows that a father’s age, lifestyle and certain exposures can have an impact on children,” he said Hindustantimes.
For that, there are habits that you can do so that babies are born smart. See the explanation on the next page.
