These two fatty acids have been considered so far to boost optimum brain\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #ff0000;\">function and regulating the serotonin levels in the brain.

So, you need to increase your\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #ff0000;\">omega-3 fatty acids to neutralize the bad effects of the inflammatory omega-6 fatty\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #ff0000;\">acids.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #ff0000;\">Omega -3 fatty acids are found in vegetables, too. It is an essential fat that our body\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #ff0000;\">cannot make. These anti-inflammatory foods can repair damaged cells and restore a\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #ff0000;\">healthy balance that can prevent diseases like Alzheimer\u2019s, cancer, heart disease and\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #ff0000;\">arthritis.
