Eating a diet high in omega 3, low in sugar, and high in fibers helps the brain work better. The omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are critical for normal brain function and development throughout all stages of life. These fatty acids are also vital for the maintenance of normal brain function throughout life. They are abundant in the cell membranes of brain cells, preserving cell membrane health and facilitating communication between brain cells.
