since it's rich in long chain omega-3 fats.

Here may be the best reason. It turns out that fish consumption is

also associated with an overall bigger

hippocampus, the memory centers of our brain.

than anywhere in the world.

omega-3 fat. Now my personal favorite reason for recommending fish oil is that the long chain omega-3 fats and fish oil
