Pioneering Nutrition for Early Brain Development — Dr Low Han Nee Shares Insight in Johor Bahru
At a recent professional medical event held at DoubleTree by Hilton, Johor Bahru, Dr Low Han Nee, Consultant Paediatrician at Pantai Hospital Batu Pahat, was invited as a featured speaker to discuss an important topic in child health — “Pioneering Nutrition for Early Brain Development.”
The session, conducted for healthcare professionals, explored how early nutrition plays a crucial role in shaping a child’s cognitive growth, learning potential, and emotional well-being. Dr Low highlighted that the first 1,000 days of life — from conception to around 2 years old — are a critical window for brain development, during which the brain forms billions of neural connections.
He emphasized how balanced nutrition — rich in key nutrients such as DHA, iron, zinc, choline, and vitamins A and D — supports neural myelination and cognitive function. A deficiency in these nutrients during early life can lead to long-term impacts on memory, focus, and behavior.
During the talk, Dr Low explained the science of executive function (EF) — a set of mental skills that include attention control, working memory, and problem-solving — and how nutrition directly influences these higher-order brain processes. He also discussed the stages of EF development, its relationship to IQ, and the latest research findings on brain connectivity and cognitive milestones in children.
Dr Low encouraged parents and healthcare providers to recognise that nutrition is more than just food — it is the foundation of lifelong learning and emotional resilience. With adequate early nutrition and proper guidance, children can reach their full developmental potential, academically and socially.
As a Child Specialist in Batu Pahat, Dr Low continues to advocate for parental awareness and evidence-based nutritional guidance. Through his clinical practice at Dr Low Child Specialist Clinic Batu Pahat, he remains dedicated to helping families understand how everyday dietary choices contribute to their children’s brain growth and overall health.
