Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for healthy brain, heart, eye, and skin function. However, the typical Western diet is often low in omega-3 and high in omega-6 fats. While both are important, omega-6 fats tend to promote inflammation, whereas omega-3 fats help reduce it. For better health, it's important to include more omega-3-rich foods in your diet.

For brain health and seizure management, the most beneficial omega-3s are EPA and DHA, which have been extensively researched for their role in supporting brain function.

The best sources of EPA and DHA come from oily fish. A simple way to remember the top sources is SMASH:

• Salmon

• Mackerel

• Anchovies

• Sardines

• Herring

Aim to include these fish regularly to support your brain health and help manage seizures.
