Omega-3s are essential fatty acids—EPA, DHA, and ALA—with key roles in heart, brain, and eye health. EPA and DHA come mainly from fatty fish like salmon and sardines, while ALA is plant-based and converts poorly in the body. For supplements, choose sustainably sourced fish oil with at least 500 mg of EPA and DHA and minimal additives.

Feeling forgetful? Diet plays a key role in brain health. A low-carb Mediterranean-style diet may boost memory and cognitive function. Key brain foods include coconut oil (rich in MCTs), cruciferous vegetables, berries, omega-3-rich fish, walnuts, and choline-rich eggs. These help reduce inflammation, support brain energy, and improve memory. Over time, they may protect against aging-related decline.
