10. Brain Food
Our brains are made up largely from fatty tissues, and they need to be fed a steady supply of fats to help keep them in good condition. In particular, it is fatty acids that will help to keep the brain in good health. Omega 3 fatty acids are thought to be especially important for a healthy brain.
This means that including fatty acids in your diet will help us to maintain our cognitive abilities well into old age. They can help to prevent memory loss, and can also help to prevent depression, among other things. Some of the best sources of fatty acids include fatty fishes like salmon, tuna, and mackerel.
