This item was introduced in September this year at the School of Paintings of the Central Campesina Cardenista National Front for Women Workers "Rosa Luxemburg". Given the importance and validity of the topic and its relation to food sovereignty and national security, did this article.
Much has been studied on the effects of nutrition on brain development, and it is known that the effects of malnutrition on the brain are irreversible, but little know how these effects occur and have to do with behavior, sexuality and drug addiction. It is also known in the international legal framework, Mexico has signed several international conventions to bring down malnutrition, such as the International Declaration of Human Rights, the Declaration on the Rights of the Child, The Millennium Development Goals and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW-Convention on the Elimination of All Forms Of Discrimination Against Woman-), but what is really in this issue that concerns us greatly everyone, but especially for women?. MALNUTRITION
FEMALE, UTERUS MALNUTRITION
malnutrition for both men and women is devastating, however, highlight the role of women in malnutrition as it is here where lies the gestation and lactation and infant malnutrition has effects for future generations.
malnutrition in women before pregnancy affects fetal development and neonatal health (newborn) in developing countries has found that a quarter of newborns start life with some degree of malnutrition and growth deficiencies Starting from the uterus.
Laboratory investigations have shown that poor growth in utero predisposes babies born with low birth weight and various developmental problems. Undernutrition which begins in the uterus for future child, it really begins long before the fetus is conceived, begins in undernourished women, that when pregnant is likely to have to turn malnourished child from her womb and that breastfeeding continue because the mother's fetus takes nutrients you need and if you do not find the hair taken from the teeth, where in order to grow, and not finding enough nutrients in the body of his mother, low birth size and weight and affected a nervous system development in general which also includes the brain, which is key to future learning.
If babies born with low birth weight has survive often have learning disabilities, attention and memory, and sometimes conduct not to fit the environment. Are more prone to disease and death compared with infants born with normal weight and height.
So the ideal is not only that women consume additional quantities of iron, folic acid and other essential nutrients, but this was well nurtured since before the pregnancy, as this is key to a successful pregnancy and a good lactation.
For his role as generators of future generations, that is why we give more weight to the nutrition of women, without neglecting the importance of our colleagues who also have full rights like us to adequate food, emphasizing above all a woman malnourished, future generations can give birth to malnourished from the womb and disadvantages to other human beings in both physical and intellectual development.

Malnutrition affects different areas of psychobiological development, the most important
- Weight and height
-
nervous system development - Attention
- Memory
- Learning.
- Conduct.
Weight and height
Laboratory studies have shown that weight and height in offspring of undernourished in utero laboratory that remained malnourished at birth and grow in utero undernourished pups were nutritionally rehabilitated, ie once well-nourished pups were born and have always been well fed from the uterus is significant, demonstrating that although the babies recover much rehabilitated never reach the merits of which were always well fed.

This shows that there are thresholds of development that if we lose, it is not possible to develop, especially as far as nervous system development concerns.
nervous system development
The nervous system is the first structures to form in the embryo from the third week of pregnancy, the neural plate is formed on the surface of the ectoderm of the embryo, hence there are two new specific structures of the nervous system of the neural tube which emerges the central nervous system and neural crest gives rise to the peripheral nervous system. From these structures the nervous system develops new structures and their mass increases rapidly.

From these structures the nervous system develops new structures and their mass increases rapidly.
Halfway through the pregnancy, neurons begin to be covered with a substance called myelin, a process called myelination, which continues to the first and second year of life and that requires enormous amounts of protein, continuing the growth of neuronal extensions (axons and dendrites) and the development of neuronal interconnections called synapses.
The central nervous system development makes possible the psychomotor development, ie the ability to develop motor reactions increasingly accurate in response to stimuli that are perceived by mastering increasingly thin between the muscular and nervous system . This development occurs in a distal flow and near, this means that volume is down head and neck, shoulder girdle (arms and hands), spine, pelvic girdle (hips) and finally, arms and feet, and near first distal limb domain becomes closer to the chest, arms and hands first, then legs and feet. Attention
In infants who have not been well fed care are being undermined, many can be the causes of wandering attention, but one very important is the presence of malnutrition as the absence of protein lower in the brain finds it difficult to pay attention to many things which appear
Memory memory short and medium term in undernourished people is affected, typical appearance malnourished groups having poor school performance, this does not mean in cases of malnutrition that people do not want to pay attention to what you are told and that seems to easily forget, what happens is that in the low protein in brain, axons and dendrites involved in the learning process fail to synapse, or developed in the absence of nutrients, which explains why despite the instruction to repeat again and again, can not be fixed in memory.
Learning.
the absence of nutrients in the brain and the subsequent dispersion of attention and memory loss, intellectual learning is slower, then checking the differences of character made remarkable social stage in which there are school children with better life expectancy than others who are slower in learning, then seeing that the acquisition of knowledge becomes inaccessible for the dispossessed but want to get it, because if no nutrients there is no link this link neuronal and without proper training there, beginning with the differences between indigenous and rural sectors to urban sectors, between well-nourished children and malnourished children, extreme poverty and social inequalities, so that in this respect the acquisition of knowledge should be democratic, it is no longer so, as they begin the differences between well-nourished and those who have not been well nourished and have fewer opportunities to access neurological knowledge.
Conduct Assault
In laboratory has shown that the offspring of undernourished mothers who survive, are more aggressive in their environment, appears to be a defense mechanism to survive in an environment that is hostile to them, and the biological mechanism for the defense prepares
pregnancy
Another behavior observed in laboratory animals is that the number of births is higher in underfed females than in those who are well nourished, this apparently due to a survival mechanism in which the species with the most likely to die offspring of malnutrition is responsible for the species does not become extinct due to increased number of births.
Foster also has been observed that females are more neglected undernourished nest building as well as in parenting, yet they just raise a litter when it comes the other by what he has to throw quickly from the nest. The dramatic nature of this is that we have found that nest building is not only an instinctive matter, is also a matter of learning, as daughters of mothers malnourished, neglected to parenting and the nest, although nutritionally rehabilitated, they fail to have litters build nests and breed with the same dexterity from well-nourished mothers and who received good care in their upbringing, so that the tendency to neglect takes three generations to reverse.
circadian cycles Circadian cycles are affected in malnourished pups for circadian cycles mean those vital to our survival and they have certain periods of time to take place on a daily basis such as certain patterns of sleep and food, activities hormonal, cellular regeneration, brain activity, etc. The observations made in laboratory has shown that sleep patterns in malnourished animals are altered tend to sleep more than their counterparts of the same species, which transfer to humans may explain why some children get to sleep in the classroom. Drug
Another dramatic behavioral outcome, which has been found is that there is more prone to drug addiction, as well fed babies may receive doses of certain drugs and not become addicted or need larger quantities of drugs to produce dependence. However, in the malnourished pups, the trend has become addicted is higher, so it is said that "the threshold to become drug addicts is lower" is the amount of drug abusers are needed to return to laboratory animals is lower when these have been in a position of malnutrition. In this aspect
recently the National University of Cordoba in Argentina, developed a pilot study can be extrapolated to humans found that protein deficiency in utero and postnatal period the body becomes more vulnerable to drug use and facilitates recidivism.
The effects of malnutrition on learning have been extensively studied, the effects of malnutrition in addiction are just beginning. By experimenting for six years in rats with cocaine and morphine, scientists from the Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of the University found that episodes of severe malnutrition at an early stage makes them more sensitive to drugs reaching more likely to acquire drug addiction and recidivism. In the words of the researcher Analia Valdomero: "We studied if the nutritional insult during the perinatal period (before and after birth), along with the development of central nervous system, facilitates the generation of an addictive process, demonstrating that the deficiency proteins during fetal development and in the early stages of life, feeding in utero produces changes in different neural systems, especially the mesocorticolimbic dopamine, responsible for the sensation of pleasure from consuming drugs. If during drug consumption is nice there is a greater likelihood of recurrence and consumption may trigger an addictive process. This researcher Argentina, (as have many Mexican researchers such as Dr. Cintra of the Institute of Neurobiology, UNAM, and many other parts of the world) said that the after-effects of malnutrition can not be reversed by a balanced nutrition Once you have given. CONCLUSION
So we can conclude that food Rehabilitation does not reverse the brain damage that is generated, although they have better life expectancy than people who have always been underfed throughout development, it is best for the general population and especially women are properly fed since before her pregnancy and still be well nourished during pregnancy and lactation to provide all necessary nutrients in the developing fetus and infant, and follow this healthy diet throughout the development of human beings, especially during the first years of life. Critical space for the development of the brain is the nutrition of the fetus and infant.
What could be more important for the development of the nation that the development of the human brain? Without the brain development of our nation, we are doomed not to escape poverty or poverty intellectual, as the brains of our generation are not developing or contributing to the development of our country.
undernourished generations, can only generate more poverty and misery, well-nourished generations, are more likely to access knowledge and to revolutionize the development of their country. The misery only begets more misery, poverty will only generate more poverty, malnutrition and brain generates loss of intelligence.
Laboratory results are showing that undernourished generations tend to have low levels of learning, due to poor attention, poor memory, the more hostile the environment, the greater number of pregnancies, and neglect mother, increased risk of drug abuse, increased risk of disease and early death, and severe organic and intellectual deficiencies from birth, in short, the hunger and extreme poverty, unmet by government policies, generates thousands of year intellectual disabilities and organically.
The optimal brain development and human intelligence is a matter of national security is at stake for the country's development and investment in human capital.
