In 2017, a study by the Pennsylvania School of Nursing showed that a steady diet of seafood for 9 to 11-year-olds can increase IQ points by five, in comparison to children who eat the proteins of beef and chicken. This study also showed that kids who eat seafood sleep better than their counterparts.
Another study performed by the American Academy of Pediatrics also showed that children who eat seafood can benefit from the contents of this protein. For example, this study showed that children experienced positive health, enhanced IQs, and an improvement in cardiovascular and neurodevelopment health for infants. The study also observed that seafood can prevent autoimmune disorders like eczema and asthma.
Sometimes adults don’t feed their children seafood because they don’t like seafood, or because they are worried about the rumors regarding seafood. Some adults may even fear the sustainability of seafood. However, sustainable seafood options are available and many rumors surrounding this protein are false.
