In this video, I want to go over the interesting benefits of fish for your brain and your eyes.
Fish are so beneficial for your brain and your eyes because of DHA. But, not all fish have high levels of DHA.
What is DHA? - DHA is an omega 3 fatty acid. It’s used as a primary structural component of the brain and the retina. If you’re low in DHA, it can affect many things, including your cognitive function and your mood.
Foods rich in DHA (Per 100g):
• Caviar - 3400mg
• Atlantic Mackerel -1400mg
• Anchovies - 1292mg
• Atlantic Salmon -1115mg
• Herring - 1105mg
• Chinook Salmon - 944mg
• Blue Fin Tuna - 890mg
• Beef Brain - 855mg
• Microalgae (for vegans)
There are cofactors that allow DHA to work in the brain and in the eyes which are zinc and iodine. You can get both of these cofactors when you consume seafood.
DHA is also needed to make Rhodopsin. Rhodopsin is a light-sensitive protein in the eye that’s mainly involved with low-level light. If you have a hard time seeing at night, you may need DHA or vitamin A.
