623. Brain Health – Part 2
The Doctor Is In Podcast - A podcast by Dr. A.W. Martin and Dr. A.P. Martin
Dr. Martin continues his two part series on brain health. Last episode he went over foods you should be avoiding, and today he shares ways to protect your brain. We have a barrier between our blood and brain, much like we have between our blood and gut. It’s called the blood-brain barrier. This barrier protects our brains. Your brain needs omega-3s so much that it allows fatty acids such as DHA to cross the blood-brain barrier. This is so significant that big pharma is readily trying to create a delivery system that will mimic how omega-3s can cross this barrier. It shows you how important DHA is for your brain. If you can’t eat your DHA, you must supplement. Listen to today’s episode to learn more things we can do to protect our brains!
