Omega-3s: The Brain Booster for Kids

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for overall health, particularly brain development in children. These "brain superstars" play a crucial role in cognitive function.

There are different types of omega-3s, but DHA is particularly important for brain structure and function.

Excellent Canadian sources of omega-3s include salmon, flaxseed, chia seeds, and walnuts.

Omega-3s offer numerous benefits for cognitive development, including improved memory, learning, attention span, and focus.

Here are a couple of kid-friendly recipes:

• Salmon Patties: Combine canned salmon with breadcrumbs, egg, and seasonings. Form into patties and cook.

• Flaxseed Smoothies: Blend flaxseed with fruit, yogurt, and milk.

Regarding mercury in fish, choose sustainable seafood options and follow safe consumption guidelines.

Omega-3s are vital for brain health. Incorporate these foods into your children's diets.
