Nutrition for brain health

The brain accounts for only 2% of our body but uses 20% of energy intake and requires a wide range of nutrients for optimal function - so it’s essential to feed it the right foods every day.

Omega 3 for brain health 

Omega 3 is actually needed for every cell in our body, ensuring diet is rich in omega 3, or taking an Omega 3 supplement, has many benefits.

Choline helps produce neurotransmitters in the body, which plays an important role in brain function and memory as well as mood. A deficiency of Choline is linked to liver disease and potential disorders in the brain and nervous system.
