Brain Food!

Ever heard the Old Wives' Tale that eating fish makes you brainy? Well, scientists today keep finding more and more evidence that it may be true!

Trout is packed with Omega-3 oils, which scientists say can improve your IQ!

60% of your brain is made of fat - and not just any fat, but very special kinds of fat.

Trout is high in Omega-3 oils, which generally get called "Good Fats" because they contain the stuff that helps your brain repair and rebuild its brain cells.

Nowadays we eat very little food that's rich in Omega-3 oils, but to keep our brains happy and working well, we need to eat food that contains a lot of Omega-3.

Trout is full of protein, which gives you energy (good for building muscles!)

If you eat trout once a week now, it won't necessarily mean that you come top in the Maths test every time, but it should mean that your brain gets the special food it needs to help it do its best!
