    3. Fish Fish is high in omega 3’s. Specifically EPA and DHA. These fatty acids are building blocks for the brain. Omega 3’s have been shown to help improve memory, mood, as well as helping fight off cognitive decline. Fish are also high in vitamin D. https://t.co/NhOgpw4Lkl

    Dads: Make sure your kids are eating Seafood. If they don't eat seafood, supplement with Cod Liver Oil. 'Since the endogenous formation of DHA seems to be relatively low, DHA intake may contribute to optimal conditions for brain development.' https://t.co/tffHQZfeyJ

Abstract Synopsis

  • DHA is a key component of brain cell membranes, especially in the central nervous system, and its accumulation is highest during late pregnancy and early childhood when brain development is rapid.
  • Since the body doesn’t produce much DHA on its own, eating enough DHA (from foods like fish or supplements) might help support optimal brain development, including visual and cognitive functions.
  • Research suggests DHA not only supports early brain growth but may also influence brain health later in life, potentially affecting aging, cognitive decline, and mental health, with some effects varying based on gender and genetic factors.]
