As a result of much documented research Jeanette Bolvary gives us another option to look at how, during pregnancy, the baby’s brain can be developed for higher thinking and higher learning.  In her book “Born Smart: Unlock the Potential in Your Baby’s Genes” Bolvary explains very clearly and concisely what pregnant women can do to enhance the developmental skills of their baby.

Bolvary witnessed the developmental milestones of her own child that far superseded the “norm” and suspected the difference was made because of the diet she was following.  Her suspicions were confirmed by research – higher learning capabilities are determined on how much copper flowed across the placenta.  Furthermore, as her research continued she became aware of how importantly omega-3 fatty acids also play in the fetus’ brain development.

The book is more than a conglomeration of research. Bolvary includes what she ate on a daily basis, a nutrient intake chart, as well as a list of foods needed to add to the wellness of the mother and the unborn baby.

“Born Smart: Unlock the Potential in Your Baby’s Genes” is one of the most important books for a pregnant woman, or one to become pregnant.  The information is crucial as well as timely while our society becomes more aware of the needs of the fetus and gene development. Bolvary is certainly a forerunner in providing all the information needed in one concise book. Highly recommended.
