Omega-3s are essential fatty acids—EPA, DHA, and ALA—with key roles in heart, brain, and eye health. EPA and DHA come mainly from fatty fish like salmon and sardines, while ALA is plant-based and converts poorly in the body. For supplements, choose sustainably sourced fish oil with at least 500 mg of EPA and DHA and minimal additives.

Feeling forgetful? Diet plays a key role in brain health. A low-carb Mediterranean-style diet may boost memory and cognitive function.

These help reduce inflammation, support brain energy, and improve memory. Over time, they may protect against aging-related decline.

Dietary fat is far more than a source of calories. It helps build cell membranes, supports hormone production, protects organs, fuels the brain, and enables the absorption of vitamins A, D, E, and K. Essential fatty acids must come from the diet and are critical for health. On a ketogenic diet, fat becomes the body's primary fuel source, providing steady energy through fatty acids and ketones while supporting metabolic health and overall well-being.
