Olive oil,Nuts,Avacados to boost intelligence

Hyderabad Sept 9: A study conducted by lead author Aron Barbey, professor at the University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign has revealed that

* Nutrients found in foods rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) such as olive oils, nuts and avocados are linked to general intelligence.

* A positive correlation was found between the consumption of MUFAs and the organisation of the brain's attention network.

* The study was also published in the journal NeuroImage.

* People with higher levels of MUFAs in their blood had greater small-world propensity in their dorsal attention network.

Finally, the researcher has said that "Our results suggest that if we want to understand the relationship between MUFAs and general intelligence, we need to take the dorsal attention network into account. It's part of the underlying mechanism that contributes to their
relationship".
