so fish is not only good for your brain

but it’s also good for your eyes okay

why because of DHA now not all fish have

high levels of DHA I will explain which

ones do but DHEA is an omega-3 fatty

acid and it’s used as a primary

structural component of the brain and

the retina now in the brain it makes up

the synapses which is basically the

connection between the nerve cells now

if you’re low in DHA it can affect many

many different things but the two things

that really stand out are a lowered

cognitive function so your memory your

focus your concentration might be

inhibited also not having enough can

greatly affect your mood as in

depression and anytime you see DHA

you’re also going to see the other fact

called EPA DHA is more for the

structural part of the brain and the

retina which is an extension of the

brain and EPA works more on the function

part so what foods have the most DHA now

per a hundred grams it’s caviar that has

3,400 milligrams per 100 grams so caviar

is number one number two Atlantic

mackerel at 1,400 milligrams then we

have anchovies 1292 and then Atlantic

salmon 1115 milligrams then we have

herring which is about 1100 v chinook

salmon which is 944 bluefin tuna 890

beef brain right your your favorite at

855 milligrams per 100 gram now if

you’re a vegan and you don’t do this you

can do microalgae

there are cofactors that allow DHEA to

work in the brain and in the eye zinc

and iodine well guess what it just so

happens that you’re going to get Zeke

and iodine when you consume seafood now

DHA is also needed to make something

called rhodopsin rhodopsin is a

light-sensitive

protein in the eye made me involve with

low-level lights so let’s say for

example you’re driving at night and it’s

hard to see in the dark and it’s hard to

adjust you may need DHA or you could

also need vitamin A and as a side note

you also need zinc to allow vitamin A to

work as well as DHA so this is also

important anyway thanks for watching and

definitely make note of some of these

fish so you can start to add more DHA to

your diet if you’re liking this content
