Diet & Lifestyle Advise

Diet changes:

  • Try to include fish like salmon, sardines, and mackerel at least two or three times every week.
  • To increase your daily intake of omega-3, include flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and soy products.
  • If you don't consume fish, eat DHA-fortified milk, eggs, and cereals.
  • Eat less processed, fried, and trans fat, as they can counteract the heart-healthy effects of omega-3 fatty acids.

Lifestyle changes:

  • To enhance the effects of DHA and promote heart and brain health, try swimming, yoga, walking, or mild exercise.
  • Limit alcohol use and abstain from smoking, as it can impair heart and brain function and lessen the preventive benefits of omega-3 fatty acids.
