Brain-Boosting Foods

If you want to give your kids an academic edge this school year, you may ask them to study harder, spend less time in front of the TV, or log more hours at the library. But those aren’t the only ways to boost their brainpower. The key to good grades could be as close as your kitchen according to a 2008 Journal of School Health study which found that the quality of a child’s diet was directly linked to academic performance. Before your kids hit the books, make sure they fuel up with these power foods first.
