Oily Fish

As a child, my mum used to say: “Eat up your fish, it will make you smarter” And boy was she right!

Oily fish is abundant in omega-3, a healthy fat that is essential to our brain and heart function, and overall well-being. Our bodies can’t produce omega-3, so we need to get it through our diet.

Omega-3 Benefits for Brain Health

It is no surprise that omega-3 is so beneficial to brain health. The importance of these fatty acids becomes most obvious when they’re lacking. People who don’t get enough omega-3s in their diet can become demotivated, disinterested, forgetful and may experience low mood. Also, serious deficiency can lead to an increased risk of developing conditions such as ADD, dyslexia, depression and alzheimer’s.

DHA Brain Food

DHA is like brain nutrition. Just as calcium is essential for building strong bones, DHA is essential for good brain health. DHA helps to improve learning, mood, memory and concentration. Supplementation has been shown to reduce depression, anger, aggression and anxiety.

Nutrition is Vital Part of Exam Preparation

Good nutrition is essential at any time of year. It is especially important during an exam year, when your brain and body are under great stress.

Exams can be stressful and so can concentrating for long periods of time in the classroom or when studying at home. That’s why if you’re a student, it’s worth knowing that the findings of one independent test showed that concentration was improved just two hours after eating the type of Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish. Increasing your level of omega-3, either through diet or supplementation can lead to improved concentration, a sharper memory, less anxiety, overall making it easier to study.

“I have used Eskimo-3 fish oils over the past year and have found them unbelievably beneficial. My mum introduced them to me for exams, and while at first, I was reluctant, I was extremely graetful and tried them. Within 1-2 days I felt sharper and more focused. After a few weeks, my skin was smooth and clear, which I also attribute to the product. It is a natural, affordable and an amazing product, which I have recommended to friends.” Claire Breen, Galway

How Much Omega-3 Do I Need?

Studies show that you need 250mg DHA daily to support brain health. Eating oily fish twice a week – such as salmon or sardines, provides a healthy dose of omega-3 EPA/DHA. Not a fish fan, you can choose a high quality fish oil supplement such as Eskimo Brain 369. I’d recommend that you check your preferred supplement to see that you are getting adequate DHA, as often supplements can fall short.
