Did you know that your brain is one of the most important parts of your body? It’s incredibly important for you to look after your brain because without it, you wouldn’t be able to function.
One of the most important nutrients that supports brain health are Omega-3 essential fatty acids. 40% of the grey matter in the brain is made up of Omega-3 in the DHA form so fatty acids are actually the building blocks of the brain. Omega-3 fatty acids contribute to brain development, brain cell regeneration, enhanced cognitive function, behaviour, and attentiveness.
Your brain is a living organ that needs nourishment. As well as Omega-3 fatty acids, there are key vitamins and minerals that play vital roles in normal psychological function including keeping the cells in your brain healthy and the neural pathways running smoothly. As well as supporting the day to day cognitive function of your brain, certain vitamins and minerals also support mental performance. Whether sourced from your diet or supplements, the main vitamins and minerals that support the normal functioning of your brain include B vitamins, magnesium, calcium, vitamin C and zinc.
