Nutrition tip: including oily fish 2x per week is an excellent way to nourish your brain and heart! Oily fish such as salmon, trout, sardines or tuna are rich in omega-3 fatty acids – where this funky name denotes it’s chemical composition.
Notably, DHA and EPA types of omega-3s have been extensively studied and found to have anti-inflammatory properties, are important in maintaining the integrity of our blood vessels, warding off ‘bad’ cholesterol, optimise cognitive processes, mood regulation AND memory.
Here is a recipe that will give you all the feels!
