Is eating fish really good for your brain?

In a Nutshell :  Yes, especially really oily fish which are rich in omega-3


Pure Fish OilOmega-3 fatty acids called Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are vital for brain growth and development, functioning and the production of neurotransmitters – the chemicals which relay signals between the brain cells.

The human body cannot easily synthesise these fatty acids and so a constant supply is very important. Just like a healthy machine your brain needs oil, and this comes in the form of omega-3.
