Nutritional Security as a Foundation

Focusing on nutritional security is essential for enhancing mental and physical well-being. Omega-3 fatty acids, specifically DHA and EPA, play a critical role in maintaining brain health by supporting the structural integrity of neurons. Studies indicate a significant correlation between low dietary omega-3 intake and accelerated brain shrinkage, leading to a higher risk of cognitive decline and conditions like Alzheimer's. To achieve optimal brain health, aiming for a daily intake of two grams of omega-3s through sources like fatty fish, caviar, and algae oils is recommended.
