Save Your Brain with Omega-3

Health Hackd Podcast

If you take a trip to the grocery store, you'll find that the most popular foods are the ones that come in a package (chips, cookies, cereals, etc.). With the wide use of industrially processed seed oils, these foods are very high in Omega-6s and essentially depleted of Omega-3s. This shift from whole foods to processed foods has created a sharp increase in chronic illness over the years. In today's episode, we talk about how Omega-3s are crucial for:

• Cognitive functioning
• Mental health
• Heart health
• Early childhood development
