Brain Boost: 9 Reasons to Eat More Omega 3s

Omega 3s are membrane components. They surround every one of your cells to give them energy. Omega 3 fatty acids do many positive things for our health, including increasing the functionality of our eyes, brain, lungs, immune system, and heart.

As your body does not create omega 3s, you must get them from your diet. This is why they are called “essential” fatty acids.

The most crucial omega 3s are EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), and ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). These can be naturally found in foods, such as:
