Fish Oil: Friend to Your Brain and Heart!
Our bodies need the right nutrients to thrive. The often overlooked yet essential nutrient? Omega-3 fatty acids, specifically EPA and DHA, found abundantly in fish oil. These are healthy fats that the body cannot make. Deep dive into Omega-3 superpowers for your heart and brain.
Brain Booster
Omega-3 is crucial for cognitive function and development. Our brain is made up of almost 60% fat and much of the nervous system is composed of fats. The cerebral cortex – responsible for memory and attention – is estimated to contain around 20% DHA. EPA and DHA have been studied for their:
Involvement in the transmission of information between nerves.3
Positive effects on mood,4 cognition, memory, learning and attention.5
Healthy aging effects, that slow down the onset of age-related brain disorders such as Alzheimers and dementia.6
