Better Diet, Better Grades
Getting an "A" in nutrition can help kids improve their grades at school, a study of Nova Scotia fifth graders suggests. Researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton who looked a thte diets of nearly 5,000 students say those who ate adequate amounts of fruit, vegetables, protein, fiber and other elements of a healthy diet were less likely to have failed a literacy test they had previously taken. In fact, the better a student's eating habits, the less likely he or she was to have failed the test. The study is published in the April 2008 edition of the Journal of School Health.
