Erken Çocukluk Döneminde Balık Eti Tüketiminin Sağlıklı Gelişim Açısından Önemi

Erken çocukluk dönemi (0-8 yaş) insan gelişimin en hızlı olduğu ve dikkat gerektiren dönemidir. Bu dönem fiziksel, mental ve sosyal gelişimin tümünü kapsamaktadır. Bu gelişimleri etkileyen üç ana faktör bulunmaktadır. Bunlar beslenme, çevre ve eğitimdir. Beslenmenin çocuk gelişimindeki önemi anne karnında başlamakta olup; doğum sonrasında da devam etmektedir. Hamilelik döneminde annenin kendi diyetinde yer verdiği her besin dolaylı yoldan bebeği de etkilemektedir. Bu durum doğum sonrası emzirme döneminde de devam etmektedir. Ek gıda ve sonrası dönemlerde çocukların beslenme programları içeriğinde protein kaynaklı yiyecekler her zaman bulunmalıdır. Balık besleyici yönü yüksek olan ve bebekler için mükemmel bir besin kaynağıdır. Omega-3 yönünden oldukça zengin bir besindir. Balıklardaki omega-3 yağ asitleri bebeklerin beyin gelişimi için oldukça faydalıdır. Balık ayrıca demir, kalsiyum, çinko ve magnezyum açısından da zengindir. Bu mineraller de bebeğin gelişiminde oldukça faydalıdır. Üç tarafı denizlerde çevrili ve su kaynakları oldukça zengin olan ülkemizde balık; rahatlıkla ulaşılabilmesinin yanı sıra vitamin, mineral ve yağ içerikleri nedeniyle besin değeri oldukça yüksek bir protein kaynağıdır. Ülkemiz suları balık türleri bakımından da zengin olup her bütçeye hitap etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, insan sağlığının temelleri atılan erken çocukluk döneminde balıketi tüketiminin sağlıklı gelişim açısından önemi araştırılmıştır. 

The Importance of Consumption of Fish Meat in Early Childhood Period in Terms of Healthy Development

Early childhood period (0-8 years) is the fastest period of human development and is the most demanding period. This period covers the whole of the physical, mental and social developments. There are three main factors that influence these development types. They are nutrition, environment and education. The importance of nutrition in child development starts in the womb, and it also continues after the birth. During the period of pregnancy, every nutrient that has a place on the mother's own diet also has an indirect effect on the baby. This situation also continues during the postpartum breastfeeding period. Protein-based foods should always be found in the children's nutrition programs during the period of supplementary food and afterwards. The fish is a highly nutritional food source and is also an excellent source of nutrition for the babies. It's a food that is extremely rich in omega-3. Omega-3 fatty acids in the fish are considerably beneficial for babies' brain development. The fish is also rich in iron, calcium, zinc and magnesium. These minerals are also very advantageous in the development of the baby. The fish is a protein source with high nutritional value because of its vitamin, mineral and fat contents, in addition to being easily accessible in our country, whose three sides are surrounded by the sea, and whose water resources are fairly rich. Our country's waters are also rich in fish species and the fish prices are suitable for every budget size. In this study, the importance of consuming fish meat during the early childhood period, where the basis of a healthy life is constituted, in terms of healthy development has been investigated.
