Which nutrients nourish the brain and eyes?
As the command centre of the nervous system, the brain receives and makes sense of input from the eyes, other senses, and nerves. Then it tells the muscles what to do, like a boss!
DHA OMEGA-3
What it is: An essential fatty acid that supports the normal physical development of the brain and eyes. Bodies produce very little DHA on their own, so the majority of what's needed from Omega-3 fatty acids should come from foods and supplements.
Where to get it: Fatty fish, like salmon and trout; seafood; Omega-3 fortified eggs.
CHOLINE
What it is: An essential nutrient found in an important neurotransmitter. Neurotransmitters help communicate messages between nerve cells.
Where to get it: Eggs, mushrooms, brussels sprouts, and meats such as beef and liver.
