Jim Kwik explains why your brain needs fat: wild salmon's omega-3s (DHA and EPA) build neuron structure and boost communication between cells. Regular omega-3 intake is linked to better cognition and larger brain volume. If you skip fish, chia seeds, walnuts, and flaxseeds work too.
Your brain is mostly fat and water. Wild salmon is one of the richest sources of omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA and EPA. These support the structure of your brain cells, improve communication between neurons, and could reduce inflammation linked to mood changes and memory decline. People who regularly eat omega-3s have been shown to have better cognitive function and even larger brain volumes. And that can't be a bad thing. If fish isn't your thing, don't worry. You can still get brain-friendly fats from things like chia seeds, walnuts, flaxseeds. And here are 2 simple ways to include them. You can grill or bake salmon once or twice a week. I put some lemon, some herbs, or you could toss chia seeds and walnuts into your smoothie. So what you eat matters, especially for your gray matter. Feed your brain like it matters because it does. Every meal is an opportunity to protect your brain, protect your future, and show up as your best self.
