The best way to improve your learning skills and memory, is to obtain Omega-3 fatty acide naturally from foods not from omega-3 supplements. A researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles, says “foods can be the best way to obtain omega-3 fatty acids”.

According to Fernando Gomez-Pinilla, the reason why foods such as salmon, walnuts and kiwi fruit are better than the supplements, refert to the fact that foods can have additional nutrients not found in omega-3 supplements.

One fatty acid — docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA — reduces oxidative stress and enhances synaptic plasticity and learning and memory. DHA is the most abundant omega-3 fatty acid in cell membranes in the brain.

“The brain and the body are deficient in the machinery to make DHA; it has to come through our diet,” Gomez-Pinilla says in a statement. “Dietary deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids in humans has been associated with increased risk of several mental disorders, including attention-deficit disorder, dyslexia, dementia, depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.”
