Fish for a Smarter Baby

A recent study reported by American Epidemiology Journal found that there is a positive correlation between frequency of eating fish during pregnancy and intelligence level of the child when the child reached 3 years old.

Why? Because fish contains omega-3 that is one of the most important component in brain development.

Many critical stages of brain development occurs before the baby is born. Almost all of a baby’s neuron develop during certain period of pregnancy.

The study mentioned that a mother who regularly consumes fish during her pregnancy was proven to have a more intelligent child with better motoric development compared to child from a mother who is rarely eat fish in her pregnancy.

A mother who consumes at least 2 portion of fish every week during pregnancy is proven to have baby with higher cognitive skill, better capability to learn new words, and also better visual intelligence.
