Did you know that there is a very special food for brain health that is totally incomparable to any other type every sold on the market. It has the ability to increase your mental and brain power and also provide lots of other health benefits. This is brain super food.

This brain food is safe, effective and is easy to come by. The only thing is you must be sure your are getting pure and fresh ones. I am talking about fish. The oily, cold water species like tuna, salmon hoki and sardine. These are the best fish for brain however due to the commonly known trend that these fish can be toxic many people do not want to risk their health by eating them.

However due to their toxicity most people prefer to take fish oil supplement, however before you purchase any fish oil make sure it has gone through a process known as molecular distillation.

So you might ask why fish oil is the best food for brain health?

The answer is simple. It contains two very important omega3 fatty acids known as EPA and DHA. They cannot be manufactured by the human body therefore you must introduce them into your system in the form of a supplement or from the foods you eat.

Because the American population is eating less fish there is a deficiency in these fats which can cause death from heart attacks or strokes. Deprivation of the fatty acids can also lead to depression and bi-polar disorders.

DHA makes up a good percentage of the brain fats and keep the brain membranes healthy and help to remove the buildup of platelet. DHA also helps to improve communications among the cells and is very essential for healthy brain.

If you are able to increase your intake of DHA it will help to improve your memory, mood and help to prevent your neurological system from degeneration too rapidly hence Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease might never take over your life as you age. Research has shown this to be very accurate.

Also fish oil high in DHA works wonders for the cardiovascular health maintaining clear arteries and lowering the risk of stroke or heart attack. It also helps to decrease the chance of inflammation taking over your body which can cause low blood pressure and premature death. It can also improve your vision.

To get the maximum benefit you should take a ratio of 2:1 DHA to EPA with at least 260mg of DHA for each fish oil capsule to get optimum brain health benefits.

The best source of these supplements is the one that has the toxins removed with the end result being pure, fresh omega3 oil that is rich in DHA and EPA.

Now that you have an idea what the best brain food for health is do some research and purchase your fish oil supplement from a company who ensure that the toxins have been removed and that you are getting only the best.
