DHA From Omega 3 Fats Linked to Intelligence in Children
If you want your child to reach his or her maximum intellectual potential, the research is clear that plentiful intake of the omega-3 fat DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is essential. In the US, most kids get hardly any of this healthful fat, found primarily in seafood, in their diets, and may be missing out on this simple opportunity to boost brain performance. Low levels of the omega-3 fat DHA were associated with poorer reading, memory and behavioral problems in healthy school-aged children.
