Why are parents of Japanese students feeding their kids fish oil supplements?
You are what you eat!
The brain and nervous system is ++% fat and you can either have your brain made and renewed (normal cell division/renewal) from healthy ideal omega-3 fatty acids or from your cheap meat fast food cheeseburger…
Your choice?
Knowing that, just so you know, the Typical American diet has a 25:1 ratio of omega-6 fatty acids (bad fat) to omega-3 fatty acid.
It should be 2:1 – meaning we are CRAZY LOW ON GOOD FAT!
No more margarines, trans fat, hydrogenated oils – those are even worse than Omega-6 fatty acids.
Better fat = better brain.
And it gets better, exercise will make you smarter! WHAT!?!
Yes ma’am but that’s a topic for next week.
