From a Nigerian Mama

Let’s be honest — every parent wants their child to be sharp. The type that raises their hand in class confidently, remembers everything you said last week (especially the promises 😅), and learns quickly. But here’s the catch: brainpower is not just inborn — it’s also on the plate.
Yes, what your child eats can support their memory, mood, and mental development.
Here are Nigerian-friendly smart foods to add to their meals:
- Eggs – Packed with choline for memory development.
- Fish (especially mackerel, sardines, and tuna) – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids that boost learning and brain structure.
- Ugu, spinach, ewedu – Full of antioxidants and folate to protect brain cells.
- Sweet potatoes – Great for steady energy and beta-carotene.
- Beans – Excellent for long-lasting energy and protein.
- Yogurt and milk – Support nerve function and contain B-vitamins.
- Avocado – Improves blood flow to the brain.
