Scientists from Bristol University have found that a large amount of fish in the diet can improve the social skills of children and increase the tendency of humanism.
The results of the study were published in the European Journal of Nutrition.
Fish and Sea contains omega-3 fatty acids, iodine and sele, who play an important role in the development of the brain and cognitive activities.
To find out how such food affects children's behavioral properties, scientists have analyzed the "Children of the 90's" research. The data was recorded in two years and adjusted, taking into account social and demographic factors.
The results show that children who often eat fish are more likely to show a prosocial behavior that includes a friendly interaction, humanism and the ability to share.
It turned out that in the absence of fish in the diet, the prosestual behavior is 35% more likely to be sub-optimal in the seven-year-old children.
This figure has reached 43% among nine annual boys and girls.
The researchers also studied the connection between seafood and the intellect coefficient of intelligence, but no correlations were found.
Specialists from the British National Health Service claim that a healthy, balanced diet should include at least two parts of fish a week.
At the same time, once a week you need to use fatty types, salmon, mackerel or sardines.
