Help Your Kids Get Better Grades

One of the easiest ways to help your kids do well in school is to feed them quality proteins at breakfast. Most kids that I meet with either eat no breakfast because they are in a hurry or they eat a breakfast full of sugar and fast carbohydrates. This is not the way to start the day especially for someone who is trying to learn all day. Yesterday, I talked about the important role that nutrition plays in your brain chemistry.

If you can feed your kids quality protein in the morning you will set the stage for them to do much better in school. If your child is struggling with school then you may also consider adding some fish oil with breakfast. The DHA is necessary for brain development. If your child is below 6 years of age then make sure to give them pure DHA because they will not be able to metabolize regular fish oil.

If you are not a kid and you are having trouble learning new things then you may also benefit from adding some protein with breakfast and taking fish oil. This combination is a very easy change that can make a huge difference for many people.
