1. A Harvard nutritionist shares 4 brain foods that will help your kids stay “sharp and focused”.

Homemade hummus

Legumes (豆类) are healthy, plant-based sources of iron, zinc, protein, omega-3s and fiber,

benefitting brain development. Homemade hummus is a good way to include legumes into your

child’s diet. It can be served in so many ways, such as a dip paired with apple slices, carrot sticks or

sugar snap peas. Adding some color to your hummus can make it more appealing to kids. Think: a

bright orange carrot hummus topped with a monster face made out of vegetables.

Salmon

Introducing your child to fish at a young age can increase their likelihood of enjoying it and eating

low-fat, vitamin-rich proteins for the rest of their life. Salmon is soft and mild enough for young

children, and is also a good source of vitamin B12 and omega-3s, which promote healthy brain

development and happier moods.

Eggs

Whole eggs are an excellent source of brain-boosting vitamins A, D and B12, along with choline (胆碱). Choline is especially important for young children, as it has been shown to improve brain

development and long-term memory. One study found that pastured eggs can have twice as much

vitamin E and almost three times as many omega-3s as caged eggs.

Meatballs

Add some powerful plant-based fiber and nutritious vegetables to your child’s diet through

meatballs. Start with a base of beans or ground turkey. Then add grated celery and flax seeds full of

omega-3s. Of course, don’t forget your favourite spices. Cook and serve.

2. It may sound like the plot of a Disney movie, but Todd, a fox, really does think he’s a dog. The

animal was tamed after being rescued as a 4-month-old baby and was raised as a pet by owner

Emma D’ Sylva. Since then the lovable fox has picked up a number of dog characteristics such as

tail wagging (摇尾巴), playing with toys and even walking on a lead.

The 11-month-old animal accompanies Emma’s pets Sky and Oakley on walks, drawing double

attention from other dog-walkers when they see Todd moving quickly through the local park with

Sky and Oakley. They thought as a fox, he has too many dog characteristics. He also sleeps and

plays with the other dogs and even wags his tail during its feeding time.

“I’ve had Todd since he was about 4 months old because his previous owners couldn’t look after

him anymore. He was a bit crazy when he first came to me last year, but now he has a really strong

bond with me. He will run up to me wagging his tail when I go to feed him. “Emma, 25, from

Stanfield, said.

“Sometimes he comes into my room, but he prefers being outside. He gets on well with my two dogs,

and wants to play with them all the time. If people or dogs come up to him in the park, he will lie

down at first and freeze but after a few seconds he will sniff around the dogs or sit patiently.”

Emma takes some of her 40 pets into schools and care homes to enable children and the elderly to

interact with a range of animals. Emma’s husband, Steve Johnson, added, “Todd went out on his

first school visit the other week and the children really enjoyed playing with him.”
