  • Did you know your brain is almost 60% fat? 🧠 Therefore, you need to eat essential fatty acids like omega-3 fats to keep your brain healthy and fend off diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Although fish oils are an optimal choice, plant 🌱 omega-3s like chia, flax, hemp seeds and walnuts can help, too. Aim for at least 2 Tbsp. of seeds a day and/or 1/4 cup of walnuts a day, if you can. You can sprinkle them into yogurt, salads, soups, chili and smoothies. How do you get your omega-3s? #hemphearts #superseeds #chiaseeds #flaxseeds #brainhealth #anti-inflammatory #lifestylemedicine #realfood #vsrnutrition
