Let me ask you a quick question, if you could eat healthy food for the brain, would you? Of course you would! But the trick is, you have to know what the healthy food is right? I mean, wow, there’s a lot of garbage out there masquerading as healthy food. Have you been down the aisles of your grocery lately? It’s astonishing, once you start reading the labels! Whew! Watch out!
In fact, I was visiting my sister recently. She has a child who just turned one. She had some kind of crackers/teething cookies for the baby. When I looked at the label there was high fructose corn syrup! Definitely, not a healthy ingredient. But, I digress.
Your Brain on Fatty Acids
Healthy food for the brain involves plenty of omega 3 fatty acids.
In case you didn’t know, these are the fatty acids you need to power your brain. Omega 3 is partially made of DHA. Your brain is made of DHA too. You know what else? Your brain can’t make more DHA. Though it loses some everyday. You know what that means? You got it, you’re deficient in these nutrients.
Let’s put this in perspective. Let’s say you’re a little kid, like my niece. If she doesn’t get the healthy food for the brain she needs, she could have a hard time in school. Studies show omega 3 fatty acids helps kids talk earlier, walk earlier and even develop focus and concentration so they have an easier time in school. You do want your child to have an easy time in school don’t you?
Feel Better and Keep Your Memory
Plus, these healthy nutrients can make you feel better. Research shows people who get enough of these omega 3’s have more balanced moods. No more ridin’ the see saw of your emotions.
You know what else? These nutrients can help you keep your memory as you get older and might even stave off Alzheimer’s or dementia. The fact is, you and yours need these nutrients.
How Can You Get These Nutrients?
You can eat these healthy foods for your brain by eating more spinach and avocadoes. But, really, the biggest boost is fish. That’s because fish is full of that healthy, brain boosting omega 3. How much fish? Well, nutritionists say 2-3 times a week is pretty good for most folks but if that seems unrealistic to you then you might want to consider fish oil supplements.
