🧠 Why This Meal Is High in DHA

• Sardines & salmon are among the best natural sources of DHA

• Olive oil supports omega-3 absorption

• Avocado provides healthy fats and helps keep you full

This combination makes it an excellent DHA-rich meal for brain health without needing supplements.

🔄 Easy DHA Substitutions

If sardines aren’t your thing, try:

• Canned salmon

• Mackerel

• Tuna + omega-3 eggs (lower DHA, still beneficial)

• Algae-based DHA supplement (plant-based option)

💡 How Often Should You Eat DHA-Rich Foods?

For general brain and cognitive support, aim for 2–3 DHA-rich meals per week. If that’s difficult, a DHA supplement can help fill the gap.
