Omega-3s fuel kindness? Children who eat fish regularly are friendlier

Could introducing seafood to kids early on be the key to sociability? In a nutshell Children who ate the recommended amount of seafood (two servings weekly) showed better prosocial behavior—they were more helpful, sharing, and considerate toward others. Not eating any seafood at age 7 increased the risk of poor prosocial behavior by 35% at age 7 and 43% by age 9, compared to children who ate recommended amounts. The beneficial nutrients in seafood, including omega-3 fatty acids, iodine, and selenium, may contribute to brain development in ways that specifically support social behavior rather than cognitive abilities like IQ. =========================================================================================...
