Sieben auf einen Streich: Neuroprotektive (Mikro-)Nährstoffe als kognitive Enhancer

Uwe Gröber

Hans-Peter Friedrichsen

Zusammenfassung

Eine optimale kognitive Leistungsfähigkeit ist in allen Lebensphasen für die Vitalität von hohem Stellenwert. Insb. in der Kindheit und im Adoleszentenalter haben Ernährungseinflüsse entscheidenden Einfluss auf die Hirnentwicklung und kognitive Leistungsfähigkeit. Mikronährstoffe spielen daher nicht nur eine essenzielle Rolle für die allgemeine Zellentwicklung und Zellfunktion, sondern auch bei zahlreichen neurologischen Funktionen, wie der Neurotransmittersynthese, Myelogenese sowie der Bildung von Neurotrophinen. Eine adäquate diätetische Versorgung mit gehirnaktiven (Mikro-)Nährstoffen wie Vitaminen, Mineralien und ω-3-Fettsäuren ist daher bei Schulkindern von elementarer Bedeutung für eine gesunde Hirnentwicklung.
