Studies suggest that Omega 3s are vital to brain health and development, and may positively affect learning and behavior. Omega-3 acids, also called Essential Fatty Acids, are polyunsaturated fats that are critical to good health. Fats, like Omega 3 DHA, comprise about 60% of the brain and the nerves in the human body. The better the fat in one’s diet, the healthier and better performing a young brain can be.  Read all about these essential brain-healthy fats in our Nutrient Guide and see a list of top “Brain Foods” and kid-friendly recipes in our Brain Food Guide. The Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program helps consumers and businesses make choices for healthy oceans. Their recommendations indicate which seafood items are “Best Choices,” “Good Alternatives,” and which ones you should “Avoid.” Print and carry the pocket guide to help you choose ocean-friendly seafood.
