Brain Food for School Success

5 Walnuts.
In an allergy-free school zone, walnuts might make a better afterschool snack, but regardless of when you eat them, walnuts should not be overlooked as they have been shown to improve cognitive function due to their high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids.  

 Have a great school year everyone!
