Episode 2733:

Dr. Jenny Brockis highlights the powerful brain-boosting benefits of eating fish rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. Consuming fish like salmon, sardines, and mackerel regularly can help keep your memory sharp, support overall brain health, and reduce the risk of cognitive decline. If fish isn’t your thing, plant-based sources of Omega-3 are also beneficial.

Quotes to ponder:

"Having sufficient Omega-3 will keep our brain and eyes healthy, help in stabilizing mood, and lower our risk of developing depression and dementia."

"Two to three meals of fish per week is the current recommendation."

"Omega-3 fats help us: learn, focus, problem solve, remember, improve communication between brain cells and protect us from oxidative damage."
