Give your child a lot of fish if you want your child to be smarter and sleep better, this is the advice of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, USA.

Eating fish helps to improve children's intelligence and sleep.

The study was conducted by scientists at the University of Pennsylvania for 541 children from 9 to 11 years old, of which 54% were boys and 46% were girls, examining the association between Omega-3 (acid Fat is found in many types of fish) and improving children's intelligence and sleep.

The researchers surveyed the fish composition in the child's menu for the month, and also checked the quality of the baby's sleep throughout the night and day and conducted IQ tests on these children.

The results showed that those who ate fish every week had a score higher than 4.6 points on IQ tests compared to children who " rarely" or "never" ate fish.

Even the "occasional" children who eat fish can also gain scores higher than 3.3 points. Children who eat more fish are less likely to suffer from sleep disorders and better sleep quality.
