How Essential Fatty Acids Boost Brain Power and Support Mental Health
Overview
Discover how essential fatty acids can enhance memory and maintain brain health. Learn about the best sources of these beneficial nutrients.Key Concepts
- Essential fatty acids- Flaxseed oil
- EPA and DHA
- Borage oil
- Alzheimer's disease
What's Your Brain Made Of?
Over half of the brain is composed of healthy fats, with 20% of these fats coming from EPA and DHA. These omega-3 fatty acids can be obtained from:
- Fish
- Borage oil
- Primrose oil
- Parilla oil
- NOK oil
While many oils provide these nutrients, NKO Krill Oil is particularly notable. Sourced from Antarctic krill, it offers EPA and DHA in a phospholipid form, making it easier for cells to absorb than the triglyceride form found in other oils.
Phospholipids, formed by essential fatty acids, create protective barriers around each cell. When fatty acids are in phospholipid form, they're more efficiently utilized by the body, making NOK oil a superior option.
Essential Fatty Acids and Mental Health
A deficiency in essential fatty acids can increase vulnerability to:
- Alzheimer's disease
- Anxiety and stress
- Heart disease
- Attention deficit disorders
- Bipolar disorder
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
- Depression
- Learning disorders
- Memory impairment
- Parkinson's disease
- Schizophrenia
To keep your brain functioning optimally, a daily intake of omega-3 fatty acids, as well as omega-6 and arachidonic acid (AA), is essential. Incorporating NKO oil into your routine can safeguard against brain shrinkage.
Alzheimer's Disease
Experts suggest that without intervention, most people would eventually develop Alzheimer's if they lived past 120. Currently, the disease can only be managed to slow its progress using drugs and nutrients. To prevent such deterioration, it's crucial to supply your brain with the nutrients it needs, such as DHA, which is vital for memory and mood as you age.
Lecithin, which provides choline (a precursor to the memory neurotransmitter acetylcholine), also supports brain health by aiding in RNA production. Heart health is similarly important, as sufficient blood flow to the brain helps prevent conditions like Alzheimer's and dementia, which can result from fatty acid deficiencies.
Recommendations for Supplementing Essential Fatty Acids
1. Consume More Fish: Aim to include fish in your diet at least once a week, or even twice.
2. Reduce Fat Intake: Limit your intake of fats, especially saturated fats. Keep daily fat intake between 15-20% of your total calories.
3. Add Oils to Your Diet: Use flaxseed and olive oils for their omega-3 and omega-6 benefits.
4. Supplement Daily: Consider taking NKO or borage oil supplements to ensure you're getting enough EPA and DHA.
By incorporating these practices, you can bolster your brain health and potentially reduce the risk of degenerative mental conditions.
