Eat Healthy and Supplement with Fish Oil

Eat a balanced diet that’s rich in fruits and vegetables, and supplement with about 1,000 milligrams of fish oil daily. “Fatty acids are crucial for brain development,” says Dr. John Protzko, a psychology researcher at NYU who studies how to make smarter kids. According to an article in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition infants of mothers who consumed more fish during pregnancy achieved higher scores in verbal intelligence and fine motor skill testing. They were also more social. Another study in Pediatrics  found that children's mental processing scores at age four strongly correlated with maternal intake of fish oil during pregnancy.
