Eating Fish Makes Your Kids Smarter

Want to have smarter kids? Then make sure they eat fish.

According to a new study conducted among 15-year-old boys, it was discovered that children who eat fish at least once a week are smarter.

Boys that ate fish once a week have an intelligence improvement of 6 percent while those that ate fish even more regularly have an average of 11 percent.

As measured by verbal and visuo-spatial intelligence tests, a study was conducted to monitor the diets of 3,972 boys for three years, aging from 15 to 18 and they found a direct correlation between fish eating and cognitive skills.

As a result of the study, they found that those who ate fish more than once a week have an average of 12 percent higher than those boys who ate fish less than once a week.

The improvement among the boys were not influenced by the educational levels of the parents, because these boys came from different groups with different social backgrounds.
