Why the Brain Needs Omega-3 Fatty Acids?
The brain contains more than 100 billion cells and omega-3 fatty acids are the building blocks of these cells. These fats bind to cell membranes increasing fluidity, which is important for the functioning of each brain cell. The benefit of membrane fluidity is that it helps the brain change and adapt to new information.
Modern diets promote an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio as high as 15 to 1. Research suggests that we should opt to achieve a ratio closer to 1:1 for optimal health. This can be done by eating more omega-3-containing foods like cold-water fish and supplements when needed, along with reduction of processed foods and vegetable oils.
