The college entrance examination is coming soon, and many parents are racking their brains to find ways to "nourish" their children's brains. So what can we eat to nourish the brain?

When it comes to "brain supplementation", DHA is one of the key nutrients!

The human body cannot synthesize DHA on its own and needs to obtain it from food. The "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents" recommends that Chinese residents eat fish twice a week or 300-500g. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) recommends that adults consume more than 200 mg of DHA per day.

The best way for us to get DHA on a daily basis is to eat fish!

The 10 most recommended fish selected according to DHA content are: mackerel, salmon, freshwater bass, hairtail, small anchovies, small yellow croaker, mackerel, river eel, sardines, and pomfret.

Fish is the best brain-boosting food, but if you really don’t like fish, you can also consider eating some nuts. It is recommended to eat 10 grams per person per day.

The four most recommended nuts based on DHA content: flax seeds, chia seeds, pine nuts, and walnuts
